episode 4: 94. Is it a Yes Gig?
In this episode, Chris Webb and Dave Tamkin discuss how musicians can make decisions about which gig opportunities to accept. They explore the factors to consider, such as time commitment, travel, hidden costs, and hidden benefits. They also discuss the importance of setting limits, saying no for health and balance, and aligning opportunities with personal goals. The episode concludes with a reminder to trust instincts and assess opportunities based on their alignment with overall objectives.
Takeaways
- Consider the time commitment and travel involved in a gig opportunity.
- Be aware of hidden costs, such as accommodations, food, and gear.
- Recognize the hidden benefits of gigs, such as exposure and collaboration.
- Set limits and negotiate to ensure the opportunity aligns with personal goals.

Action:
