‘If I just had a bunch more gigs like this one’
When we have a gig with the perfect audience, perfect pay, perfect food and the perfect travel details, it’s easy. Everything goes well and everyone is happy.
If this wonderful of a gig is so easy and smooth then why don’t we just book more like this one…and less of the hard ones.
But at this point we know it rarely works this way. In the world of gigs and freelancers a big part of the job is that big parts of the job have to be solved over and over again. The path of the artist has the unknown built into it at every curve. The more we do it the better we get, we learn how to avoid the pitfalls, how to say no and what the best questions are to ask at the outset.
