The 3 Roads To 6 Figures (Choose Wisely)

In this episode, Chris Graham and Brian Hood discuss three main business models you can use to build your studio to six figures. Though you can try to use several models instead of choosing one, it is typically easier to focus on just one.

  • Why a “student of life” will beat out the naturally awesome audio engineer
  • What makes systems key to a low-dollar, high-volume business

Quotes

“If one of those systems breaks, have fun.” – Chris Graham

“I always have a six-month cushion of living expenses. . . I could go six months without being paid a dollar and I’m fine. But most people, I would say 90% of people, d not have that in the bank and again that’s why a lot of studios can go out of business, because they are not financially prepared for that sort of swing in their income.” – Brian Hood
