What Happens as a Musician When You Start Saying No
One of the biggest things that musicians do in all levels, but especially professionals, is say "yes" way too much. There's a time to say "yes" a lot, and I describe that in this episode. However, being strategic and limited with your "yes" while saying "no" to everything else is what allows for growth and focus. In this episode, you can learn of 8 things that happen when you say "no".

Embracing the Art of Music (with Jennifer Rosenfeld)
If you're a professional musician, it can be hard to separate the idea that there's this part of your schedule where you make music just for YOU. It might be music you're composing, or an ambitious piece you're learning to play. You might make your income as a musician and you might have a career that has nothing to do with music. Regardless, you can and should take time to explore music without any regard to its commercial benefit.
Jennifer Rosenfeld is a business coach who has worked with musicians, as well as a pianist and composer. You can find out more about her and her work at https://www.jenniferrosenfeld.com/
