Great book of common sense
It’s very good, has some excellent ideas, but some are a little outdated for the streaming reality we live right now as aspiring artists.

The book has A LOT of information (too much, honestly) so it lacks some focus. I didn't really get into the book until halfway through, as the earlier chapters are geared more towards the music business novice. Still, there's a lot of great advice in here, albeit vague (but that just gives me things to work on on my own).
