The Voices Will Help You

Founders have to do more than everyone else.  It’s true regardless of what field you’re in. In music, you’re probably a PR, marketing, finance, operations, conducting, and legal person.  Of course, you have to find help for what you don’t know, but having a small staff (maybe even just you) means that there simply aren’t the people (and the funds) to pay for those other roles during the startup phase.  Co-founders can share responsibilities. Proficiency rather than excellence becomes the standard for most things, or even survivability. If you choose to be a founder, embrace the multiple identities. The voices will help you.  ​
