Recognizing these traits will help you build stronger relationships, avoid costly mistakes, and respond strategically to everyone you meet, from industry giants to everyday interactions. Whether you're an emerging artist or an established talent already generating revenue, this book offers the details on what to accept, what to avoid, and how to take charge of your business-ethically, efficiently, and confidently.

As you've taken charge of your artistry, mastering your business affairs is just as important to building the future you deserve for yourself and your family. As you grow in your career, I encourage you to hire professional advisors when needed, as long as you structure it properly. It's equally important that you understand your own business affairs. Knowing when your advisors are acting in your favor, and ensuring they act ethically at all times, is critical to your success. The only way to ensure this is by taking the time to understand the business that drives your career.
