The diversity of tools in this book will not only help you to plan ahead; they will truly trace the path and change the way you see things in order to complete your goals.” —Ariel Rivas, GRAMMY® Award-winning Producer, World Tour Manager, and Booking Agent (Rubén Blades, Don Omar, Danny Rivera) “If you’ve ever thought that the music is the easy part and it’s everything else that’s hard, then this is the book for you.
