<p>I know. I did it and I thank heaven that that very tough industry was my introduction to business because truly everything has been easy since then.</p>
<p>You can imagine my joy when I met Martin Atkins, a rock and roll drummer turned music promoter turned educator,<br />
who has distilled the hard won lessons of music promotion in such a way that they can be profitably applied to any business or human endeavor.</p>
<p>Martin talks about the &#8220;juice&#8221; you need to make your business work. Listen and learn. This is solid gold reality-based advice that you will very rarely hear anywhere else.</p>
