I just spent a week in Folsom CA at the Mikeslessons.com drum camp. I’d been waiting 3 years to take it, and finally got the chance. On the last, day, Mike and I sat down to chat about the business side of Mike’s business. A couple of key takeaways: I had no idea how fastidious Mike is. Very regimented and relentless when it comes to pursuing a goal. He also has a really “no excuses” attitude about business, and drumming. For as great of a drummer as Mike is, I think he’s a better entrepreneur. This is another instant “best of” episode. Enjoy!
Mike and Mike Discuss:
- Doing the simple thing’s so well that they look impressive
- Your a great drummer, but you are a better entrepreneur
- Great design, Content and Conversions, it’s hard to do all three well
- Music genres come and go but education stays constant. People will always pay to learn the instrument
- Who’s ROI
- Started using Youtube in 2005 for the same use we use Dropbox today
- Finding out his business was like a gym membership and why he had to build in accountability
- Chip on his shoulder, a Hines Ward story, and understanding the people you are coaching
- The tendency for entrepreneurs is to compare up vs to compare down
-
Low lights, work on something you can’t do, get it to where you can do it and keep doing it until your brain goes somewhere else.
-
I am thinking about becoming a writer.
