Customer Reviews

Short and Semi-Sweet
I am a software business owner who is also starting a new recording studio business. The book, which has a lot fewer pages then I expected, covers business basics that would apply to most service businesses - things like how to quote prices, write proposals, and send invoices. It also emphasizes believing in yourself and having confidence in your business, which is a challenge for any business owner. I believe real-life success is a better basis for confidence then you-can-do-it speeches, but I appreciate the author's intent there. I'd say the book would be useful for someone who enjoys studio technology but has no experience operating a business.

Killer Book. Absolute Killer
As a seasoned studio owner I am always looking for ways to beat the competition. In an age when technology is creating more new studio owners than ever before, this book is a tremendous help in staying on top. Well done!

Super helpful and informative!
This book included just what I needed to hear. It's not going to be easy, but it can be profitable! So often we as studio owners keep thinking that "someday" we will be able to make money with our studio only when we get high price clients and record labels knocking down our doors! I think Mr. Volinchak makes such a strong case in regards to this misconception, but leads us back to the real reson that we ventured into the studio business to begin with...the fact that we love it.

His ideas on how to find new business, marketing your studio, staying within your budget and especially (my personal favorite)having community with other local studio owners are so powerful. I've probably heard most of this stuff so many times before, but I guess this book made such an impact on me because of the simplicity and truth presented in it. THIS BOOK IS WORTH THE MONEY! I would recomend it to anyone. Well done Mr. Volinchak.
