There's going to be a great deal covered in this. How on earth are you supposed to know if that manager is going to make or break your career? How do you determine whether that label has the resources to get you where you want it to? How do you find out if that press person gets your project and can tell writers about you properly? Expect lots of answers to these questions and a tonne more.

Starting with ideas for effective time and task management, we'll be discussing how to avoid reaching those dreaded feelings of burnout. How can you ensure you are working smarter not harder and that there's "return of investment" on the time you spend pushing your musical projects forward.
