UNIVERSITY OF LIFE

Through the years, and as one grows older, people acquire experiences. Many experiences are good and many are bad everything depends on the people and if they learn from them. Most people who go to college are looking forward to be better humans and better professional, but there is no better learning than learning acquired in the university of life. I have a degree in marketing and am currently doing my Masters in Entertainment Business at Full Sail University but nothing compares to what I learned in college and in life. Life gives us so many lessons in how to do things properly without having to go to a prestigious university. I know successful business owners who have never gone to college and not even have their high school diploma but went to the university of life. Through my years doing my degree and my masters, I have understood many concepts taught in the university but also are part of the daily routine of life. It’s funny when you try to learn some new concept in college and the university of life had provided to you already. Is always good to gain knowledge that will make us grow as people and as professionals, that is why we go to college for four or six years to acquire new knowledge. However the learning that life gives us can be acquired in a matter of minutes and in situations that occur every day. Since I started my Masters and seen the concepts that my instructors have teach, I learn that these concepts are very similar to the concepts taught in the university of life. No matter where you study or how many degrees you have what is important is to learn in every situation or lived experience as well as in the classroom or in the university of life which lead us to make the decisions that we think are correct.

MORE THAN A MANAGER A FRIEND...

A good artist manager deals with many responsibilities each day. From knowing what’s good or bad for the artist and planning an artist career each day artist managers have a bigger role. The biggest role that an artist manager can have is the friend role. The artist manager should be artist’s right hand not only for business, but also for personal life issues. Many artists have their ups and downs with their personal life problems and artists’ managers should be the ones that first notice any change in the artist personal life. The only way a person can know that something wrong is happening to you is a true friend. Sometimes a friend can know you more that a family member. A good artist manager should act as a true friend. For the better of his reputation and the wealth of his artist a good manager should be a friend for his artist. Being a friend would help the artist manager to deal with many upcoming situations and be ahead of them. A good example can be when an artist do not want to show up to a certain radio show or TV program because he or her does not see how can showing up to the certain program can help their career image. How can a manager persuade his artist the importance of showing up to the show? For a good manager this might not be a problem. Even thou the artist have shown his decision of not going, a good manager will know how to convince the artist. A good manager will know when and how persuade his artist to show up to the show. The only reason an artist manager can do that is because he knows his artist better than his artist know himself. Only true friends knows his friend better than their self.
