Most people think price is what sells a businessโฆ itโs not.
If youโre ever thinking about selling, this is the first mindset shift you need.
Culture and people often matter more than price
A great sale isnโt just about priceโitโs about who takes the business next.

๐ง โAs a businessโฆ itโs a really bad investment.โ
Theyโre talking about streaming.
Spending moneyโฆ
for exposureโฆ
that doesnโt pay back.
The lesson:
Know what drives revenue vs visibility.
๐ง โTop earner is gigsโฆ then merchandiseโฆ streaming is way down.โ
No fluff. No hype. Just reality.
Their business model?
โ๏ธ More gigs = more revenue
โ๏ธ More audience = more merch
โ๏ธ Streaming = exposure (not income)
This isnโt just music.
Itโs a small business on wheels.
