Tips to aspiring owners of studios
For people who are starting new , make sure you work on a proper Business plan . Work on your numbers , work on your services & strategies , work on marketing , Build contacts . We musicians tend to do things for passion , but when you start a professional studio or jam room , make it a point to run it professional because there is too much investment involved . Maintain proper accounts .
When it comes to investment , always go step by step , prioritize your gears .
More than all these , people do not come to you because you have expensive gears , they come to your for the kind of work you do and how you treat your customers . So master your art of Music & treat your customers well .
