On Music Entrepreneurship - 2

Posted on 2020-01-15 22:18:00 by Kyle and tagged with Entrepreneurship

Continued from yesterday.

Some of the suggestions that the College of Business suggested we change or include in Music Entrepreneurship involve the following topics:

Idea Generation, Creation, and Evolution.

Customer Interviews

Project Management

Value Proposition

Business Model Canvas

Channels

Minimum Viable Product

Exit Strategies

As I mentioned, my knee-jerk reaction was "But we don't DO this in music!" And that tapped in to the issue I have with a lot of books on music entrepreneurship--several that I've read are along the lines of "You're a musician already! Here's how to write a business plan!" (more on this later)

Getting this list from the College of Business (and to be clear, the list was far more detailed and informative than what I've included--I've excerpted to protect their ideas and mine) forced me to question why we don't do some of those things, and it started becoming clear that we should.
