Frequent readers might have caught on that I really dig Tim Ferriss’ ideas on productivity, and what he refers to as “lifestyle design”. In fact, he’s even got a running spot on my blogroll. His book, “The 4-Hour Workweek”, has been on the bestseller list forever and it has been published in 39 different languages at last count. It is a must-read if you’re serious about achieving your dreams.

His own blog post today was a great primer about his philosophy, and it comes complete with a video of him and Derek Sivers of CDBaby chatting about themes in the book as they related to life and specifically, the music industry, music marketing, selling your cds and booking gigs. It runs about an hour and 20 minutes. . put your speakers on and do a few other things if you don’t have the time to sit and listen to the whole thing.

There are some great pointers in there about cool things Trent Reznor did when starting out in his music career as well as a great tip from Derek Sivers about some of the best ways to get a good booking agent and publicist that are well worth your attention if you’re a musician.

These guys were speaking at the San Fran Music Tech Summit, something that no doubt cost several hundred dollars at least to attend. . .quite possibly upwards of a grand. . .so listen away, and learn from a few pros about how to launch your entertainment career into the stratosphere.

Hi all, sorry for the absence as of late. . I recently moved house and home and have been in a sea of boxes for weeks. Ugh. But, alas I’m back and next week, we’ll be running full steam again. Lots of great things on deck, so stay tuned.

For today, I wanted to introduce you quickly to a tool that will knock your socks off and save you tons of time searching for internships and jobs in music via Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com. Each site is great on its own, but a much more powerful way to search for gigs is by using the only tool I use when looking for jobs for friends, etc.

What it does is gather job listings from all sorts of sites from around the world as they are posted. So if you’re looking for a music internship in New York, LA or Nashville, but don’t know the local newspaper websites, or just don’t want to login to Craigslist jobs site, then go straight to Indeed and type in what you’re looking for. It’ll return great listings from just about everywhere a job is listed in the city for which you’re looking.

Give it a shot, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results. Oh, and don’t forget to use quotes, plusses and minus signs to narrow your search as I’ve described previously in my “How to get an internship at Fashion Rocks, or any other award show for that matter.”

I’ve placed the indeed box here for easy searching.
