:) not yet

[@jcjohncarter3]

This is a great book, BUT the only thing I had an issue with this book is that it was pre-Covid, and it tells you to quit your job, or make plans to quit your job eventually.
I'm gonna tell you right now if you're just getting started, and you live somewhere where everything is locked down and there's no immediate opportunities to make money with in-person lessons and live performances. BUILD YOUR INCOME STREAMS before you quit your day job.

[@BeauJames59]

Why can't I use Friendster?

[@CarterIsFly]

this guy literally only has 4000 monthly listeners on spotify 🤓.

[@tjthegreat7]

spotify isn't everything

[@guitarguy07]

Dude, that's 4000 people! Why take so many listeners for granted? I think that's fantastic

[@lukelanzon2953]

His band, Brassroots District, has more. Check them out!

[@jonathanrossmusic2509]

Probably 4000 more than you do

[@samjrmusic]

4000 is great success!
