Do the next best thing – every day.

"Every day, ask yourself what is the next best thing the team can do to drive your business forward. The answer tells you where you should be concentrating your efforts and where your focus should be. That question can be applied to the organization overall but also to each team member, and especially yourself. Do the next best thing, and don't do anything else until it's done. Then ask yourself the question again. Repeat until you reach your goal."

Mike McCready, CEO, Music Xray

Know how to pivot and readjust your business.

"Don't overplan. Things don't always come together exactly as anticipated, and the most successful entrepreneurs are those who know how to pivot and readjust their business as things develop."

Allen Bargrede, Executive Director Rethink Music at Berklee College of Music

Listen to your customers, not your critics.

"Listen to your customers, not your critics. Only invest your efforts into something you enjoy, and don't outsource anything until you fully understand the principles of that task yourself."

Lee Parsons, CEO, Ditto Music

Focus on the bottom line & network constantly.

"Maintain a focus on the bottom line, follow up on execution, follow the money, build your brand and network constantly. The music business is a challenging place to make a career, but a fun and potentially profitable one if you have a clear vision of what you want to do and gather the resources and connections to make it happen."

Mark Frieser, CEO, Sync Exchange
