4th Phase:
HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME TO DO MUSIC FOR A LIVING?
If you have not yet read PHASE 3, please go back and read that before this part. If you have not read PHASE 2 please skip back to that. Or If you miss PHASE 1 (which is so crucial to this plan) please go back to that before reading on...
There are 168 hours per week.
You spend approximately 56 hours sleeping per week leaving 112 hours in your week.

Let’s break it down by the rule of 3rds. 8/8/8
24 hours in a day.
8 hours sleeping.
8 hours working (if you have a fulltime 40 hour per week job).
8 hours left over.
It’s the 8 hours left over we are going to focus on.
If you spend 4 of those remaining 8 hours working on your music (playing/rehearsing/practicing, booking, promoting) then you’re essentially doing 24 hours per week of work on your career (you should have at least 1 day off).
That’s 64 hours per week of work in total!
That’s a part-time job, on top of your full-time job, so it’s best to work that time in the smartest way possible.
The other 4 hours of that 8 hour left over time should be spent relaxing with your friends and family.
Seriously.
You will hit burn out if you don’t schedule in daily R & R time (Trust me. I’ve been there and it set my career momentum back by almost 4 years).
So at least 32 hours per week relaxing and having fun with friends and family.
Besides, what point is there of reaching (for) success if you don’t have a life?
You dig?

So in PHASE 1 we’ve already worked out your SLS Amount and in
PHASE 2 your current Music Earnings Amount and in
PHASE 3 the difference between them both.
Perhaps you didn’t realise, but some of you will already be really close to tipping the balance of replacing your fulltime job already.
Some of you can see how much is left over to earn from music to quit that day job.
Those of you that only have a casual or part-time job (approx. 20-25hours per week) can utilise those extra 15-20 hours on career momentum.
Those of you that are unemployed can now utilise a full 64 hours per week on moving your music career rapidly forward.
Wherever you’re at you now have a precise 4 Phase financial strategy to take your career to a point of living from music.
I don't need to jinx you by saying good luck because You can do this.
I don’t know you, but I believe in you, your talent and your capability to make your passions a reality.
Blissful blessings & good vibes to you

I'd really love to hear from you.
Thanks for this series. I'm all caught up now and you have excellent advice. I must admit to being rather chaotic and lazy with my music "career", especially with managing my time. Anyway, a great series, I'll be watching future ones.

Thanks so much, mate @lk666,
I’m stoked you enjoyed the series.
I’ll be fascinated with how many people apply the principles laid out in the 4 phases. They’re essential for running any business really.
Good luck with your music career mate.
Blessings, good vibes and smiles,
