Music Entrepreneur News

Just two or three years ago, I felt passion adjacent, impact adjacent, and income adjacent.

Adjacent means you're right next to something — close enough to see it, close enough to almost touch it — but not actually there. I wasn't doing exactly what I was passionate about. I wasn't having the kind of impact I wanted to have. And I wasn't making the kind of income I wanted to make.

At the time, I had a contract writing content for a music business website. I was good at the work, but I had very little control over what I wrote, and no matter how skilled or efficient I became, I couldn't seem to get paid more. I have a deep passion for music, creativity, and writing — and yet I found myself in a situation where I didn't like the contract, didn't like the work, and didn't like the people I was working with.

I was underappreciated, underutilized, and underpaid.

I remember having this moment where I thought, "I guess this is about as good as it gets."

In this post (and video), I share that story and ask: Can you relate? Are you in a situation right now where you're so close to what you want — but not quite there? I'd love to hear your thoughts. https://davidandrewwiebe.com/?p=27970
