Earlier this year I read this book: Put Your Dreams First- Handle Your [Entertainment] Business by Thembisa Mshaka


My Notes after reading Handle Your Business:
Reading this book woke me up. I was literally drained from traveling to take my children down south to visit grandys, and I also took them to give me a moment to handle some business (work life). Reading the book was the very thing that I needed at the moment. What was encouraging was that I knew about these women. So to hear their story a little closer gave me insight and hope as I journey through the music industry. Khamilah Forbes, Abby Dobson, Fiona Bloom, and even the women Lenora who has had Landmark Education are all women I have some a distant connection with. That was very encouraging. It also made me see the music world as a much smaller entity and made me feel like my dreams are attainable. Well for the record I never thought they weren’t attainable because I am living my dream. This is one stage. The book gives me guidance and skin for the next stage. It was also a wakeup call to get my entertainment business {dreams} in order. 
Thanks Thembisa (and Fiona for putting the bug in my ear)
