How to Have the Music Career You’ve Always Dreamed Of

 


Dear Up and Coming Full Time Entertainer, Singer, Songwriter, Music Artist & Musician, and dare I say, Visionary!

Does it scare you that I just said Visionary? Well read on and you won’t be so scared – If you are like most of the artists I work with (myself included at one point), you are more than just a singer, you see things differently than most people, you are more conscious than the average Joe and let’s face it – you didn’t choose music, it chose you.

The reason you do music is because you love it. So much so, that you invested a ton of your time and energy into becoming a singer, a songwriter and musician, a performer and a recording artist (you’ve put in your 10,000 hours). And you’ve invested your hard earned cash and then some in getting your music out there, as well as in your own personal growth, because you know that’s important too. You know you can’t do music without fixing yourself first, without becoming whole (that’s part of the whole Visionary thing and you know that as an artist, you’re a leader and a role model too.)

And you probably didn’t set out to make a million dollars or even to be a household name (or maybe you did!!), but either way you just wanted to make great music and hopefully make a living doing what you love, making music.

So you’ve got your music up on iTunes, and your website is up for the world to see. You’ve even made some great connections, but the phone still doesn’t ring and offers don’t come your way, not the way you’d like them too. In other words, you still don’t make enough money from your music, not enough to live on anyway, not the way you envision for yourself.

So now what?

Well, if you’re like most burnt out musicians – you just suck it up, work harder and here’s what ends up happening…

Does any of this sound like you?
(Be honest.)

  • Day after day you’re bombarded about the bad news of the music industry. No one’s getting record deals, everything is disintegrating and you’re finally wondering if nothing is coming to ever bail you out. You wonder if you should just give up and go back to school for an Accounting degree like your Aunt Mary says you should.
  • You even took a few music industry courses from those goatee sporting dudes who think they’re so cool and claim they know all the insider tips. But it didn’t help you because what do those guys know about being out on the road or being rejected for the 15th time? They get a paycheck.
  • You make your website look even prettier with better fonts and graphics and get new photos shot and still nothing happens (and the photos don’t look like the ones in Rolling Stone or Spin – what the heck?)
  • You even try hiring a publicist at one point and spend a lot of money and never even get one piddle-y worthwhile review! (Been there – done that, ugh.)
  • Your boyfriend (or significant other) doesn’t understand why you keep at it. He/she thinks you should get a day job (and so does your entire family) because they are all worried about you.
  • You know you could be a big star, and you’d even be content just being an artist who makes a living at your music, but you don’t know the steps to take to make that happen.
  • You sometimes convince yourself that, well, maybe you’re getting too old to do this anymore, but deep inside, it’s painful (and even non-negotiable) to even think of giving up on your dream. But you feel foolish sometimes that you keep pursuing it.
  • Your friends secretly think it’s hilarious that you’re even trying to do this and wonder when you’re ever going to get a real job!
  • Day after day you keep hearing the news how the music industry is crumbling and you want to just throw your hands up and say, “Why am I even bothering?”
  • You’re willing to do the work, and even sacrifice vacations and postpone your joy for your art, but you’re worried that you’ll never get to where you’re going. It’s so upsetting to think that your career may never turn into a livelihood you can go to the bank on. (You want to tell your kids about your successes, not your failures.)
  • There’s so much freakin’ advice out there on the internet that now you’re even more confused about which way to turn.
  • You have lots of unanswered questions.

So here’s the deal. I know you, I’ve been there, and I’ve coached people who have been where you’re at. And what I suspect is that you don’t have a problem making music, you don’t have a problem tapping into your passion. On good days you even know you’ve got something really good (even great) to offer the world.

If you know you’ve got something to give but you’re confused about your next steps, you’re not alone!

And here’s the first thing to understand. If you’re a little overwhelmed or confused, and if you want to create more success and make more income doing what you love – so you can serve more people and have an incredible lifestyle – but you don’t know what to do first – the first thing to know is that You Can!

The second thing to know is that:

If you’re burned out and overwhelmed, it’s not your fault! No one taught you how to create a plan.

The real challenge is that you just might need someone to help you find and discover a path that works for you – one that pays the bills, and then some. Because the true is: No One Does It Alone – it’s too tough to do by yourself (create a real career that is!) But also you want to get on the right authentic path for you, one that taps you into your passion, nurtures your artistic side, gives you the time to create your masterpieces, to feel that you are progressing, that you are in alignment with what you were born to do, that what you are doing matters and that one day soon your music will touch hundreds and thousands of lives, and even, maybe, the whole world.

I know you’re confused about how to get heard above the noise. How do I know this?

Well – I’ve been there. I used to think I had to get a big record deal to make it happen – but I was really able to create my own success, reach tens of thousands (no it’s not millions, but it’s made me a great living and the artistic satisfaction of touching over 30,000 people’s lives – probably more by now.) I have been able to transform the people in my world on a scale that has worked for me. And, I get to live and work in New York City (I have some wild, wonderful stories but we’ll leave that for a night we’re having drinks together!)

And now, I’ve been blessed enough to be able to help countless artists carve their own success whether or not they got the big name –

Well, to be honest, a few did get the big name, and it’s fine if you want that, we can make it happen either way for you.

 

Diane Birch“…Working with Cari has been, and continues to be an incredible experience for me...”

She has an amazing gift for understanding the many facets of vocal training from the technical to the mental, emotional and physical aspects. She tackles the art of singing down to the root and really helps you understand what you are doing and how it all works. With her holistic and all-encompassing approach she teaches how to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the vocals!"

Karine Deschamps“…I participated in a prestigious province-wide contest called Ma Première Place des arts in Montreal…”

I thank my lucky stars that I have found Step Up to the Spotlight and that this past week was about confidence cause I was able to put it into action!  About 25 industry people were there to vote – and I won first place! Just another victory from one of your Step Up students, and this one is for you too!  Thanks for creating the program and making it available – I am ecstatic!”

Andi Starr“…Cari Cole’s ‘Step-Up’ program has literally transformed me…”

Before I began this program, I had never had the vocal and business knowledge I needed to be the best singer-songwriter I could be. Now, with implementing Cari’s daily vocal warm-ups and visualization into my everyday calendar, including a whole new outlook on branding and planning and stepping up my game plan, my singing/songwriting path is leading me to brand new worlds. I am humbled at what I didn’t know, challenged to grow my vocals and business, and excited to know that "It’s You Who Discovers You"! Thank you Cari Cole for rocking and changing my world. I will definitely be back for more…

Why should you listen to me?

  • First of all, I’ve created a very successful heart-based, high-level coaching practice from scratch that’s attracted major celebrities (no, no one helped me and no, my family wasn’t in the entertainment business.) My mom was a housewife (and a concert level pianist who taught me music) but in real life she was a stay-at-home mom … and my dad was a mechanical engineer for the 3M Company.)
  • I’ve watched several students become famous as we worked on their careers and many more went on to get record deals. I have helped and mentored thousands of artists that have created viable, successful careers from what I’ve taught them.
  • I’ve worked with rock and roll legends (Journey, Donald Fagen/Steely Dan and rocker Courtney Love among others I keep private) And I get the pleasure of working with new emerging artists that I LOVE — like Diane Birch (S-Curve), Chrisette Michele (Def Jam) and soon to be released artists like Jeremy Cole and Rainsford, and I get to coach and mentor them in their careers.
  • I work with a small handful of like-minded artist friendly presidents and CEO’s of record labels, A & R reps (yep, there are still a few cool ones left!), and other important industry pals that truly support artists like Ariel Hyatt, Bob Baker and others.
  • Students of mine have been cherry picked to compete in The Voice and American Idol and other TV competitions (and I get to coach them through the process – 2 were actual finalists!)
  • I was approached by the OWN Network and various TV shows and networks (FOX, NBC, ABC) on a regular basis as a Celebrity Vocal Coach.
  • I have created Products and Programs online that result in a six-figure income stream for my company that reaches and empowers artists all over the world.
  • And my own record, The Circle of Fire record inspired by the NY Times bestselling book, The Four Agreements, has reached over 30,000 people (and counting) and won numerous awards including the PMA (Positive Music Award) for songwriting, sound recording, production, mixing and engineering.

Sound too good to be true?

It’s not.

In fact, I can teach you exactly how I did it. No kidding.

In fact, why don’t you just go ahead and give this to yourself – right now??

Let’s Do This.

From May 22nd to August 28, 2012, I’m going to walk you through the steps that you’ll take as you transform your career to support your soul and artistry with creative consistent cash flow so that you can spend your valuable time doing your music.

And by the way – whether you’re just getting started or if you’ve been an independent musician for years – you’ll discover strategies and tips here designed to show you exactly how your music can become your empire. All you need to do is follow my step-by-step system and formulas to get these same results.

YES, Cari, Sign me up for the Fast Forward to Fame Program & Blueprint NOW!

The truth is, my practice has been full for a long time now. My reach is limited to the amount of hours I can actually teach one-on-one and in my groups. And up until now, my training was only available to those who could afford to pay my higher tier private rates (I’m expensive for a reason called = results.) And then I started to realize – that this world is changing, it is transforming and people really need this information that I’ve, up until now, kept behind closed doors. Because the truth is, it is not just for the select few anymore. And this is my belief.

Be prepared, I’m going to get a little woo-woo here…

My belief is that we are all now waking up, that the middleman is no longer important. That you don’t need a record deal any more, or at least not the kind that used to exist (those deals ripped artist off anyway!!). Here’s my philosophy coming from an industry insider and an artist as well as a Visionary, and by the way, so are you, but we’ll get into that in a second.

Here’s my philosophy – and this is all the good news – you don’t need a record deal. It’s no longer a secret. The reason why the music industry is failing is because these guys are scared out of their boots because they’re about to lose paychecks (most already have) and if you play your cards right (I’m going to show you how) you’re going to be the one making the money. You have access, you’ll know how to do it. it’s all shifting, right now.

This is the first time I am offering my own unique Fame Formula that will show you how to create, customize and claim, the plan for your own path to success. Yes I’m talking about a Formula that you can personalize to fit you and your music.. while staying Authentic and Playing Bigger than You’ve Ever Dreamed of.

 I call it the Fame Formula – and it’s but one of the many key things you’ll learn in the Fast Forward to Fame Program and Blueprint about creating your customized blueprint for success in music.

 

But wait a minute, what if I’m NOT Interested in all that
Fame, Diva, Star stuff?

So let’s just back up here a minute, I know for a lot of you, it’s not about the fame. In fact we often equate fame with selling out (nose jobs, face lifts, boob jobs; hey, it happens all the time.) And look what happens to those artists when they shift out of their authenticity: they become owned by the very people they were made famous by and then end up losing their voice and careers or singing B level venues as the opening act singing their one hit for the rest of their lives. You don’t want that, and I don’t want that for you. That’s not who I am as a teacher and coach.

But let’s really break down what Fame & Success could look like for you and why it’s so important:

Fame could be one of the following:

1 – 1,000 True Fans who support you in making a living until the day you die (totally do-able by the way). Yippee!!

 

Positive Music Association Seal 2 – How about making a record you’re really proud of or just plain living off of your music (heck – that’s been my definition of success for a long time, it just so happens that it’s amplified now and I’m making a lot more, that could happen for you too!) That’s the PMA Seal of Excellence I won for my record Circle of Fire for best recording, production, mixing, mastering & songwriting ;) .

 

Red Carpet 3 – It could also mean being a household name (that would be pretty cool huh?!) Being a celebrity, a star – famous, known and loved by the world over (dope!)

 

andistar 4 – Or it could be having massive influence over a small tribe of people who love you to pieces! (That sounds pretty awesome too huh?)

 

Fame equals whatever you decide you want for yourself. But the bottom line is if you aren’t making a living doing your music, then you need more Fame and need to know how to find it.

So I think you get it now – what I’m all about is you having a career that fits you – and that you can totally do it! And… one of the things I teach all the time is about being congruent. I’m all about aligning you with your own unique gifts in such a way that you draw success to you instead of sabotaging it or pushing it away from you!!

Ok Cari, so that’s really awesome – all that stuff you said about fame there – but I’ve got a life to live and everyday stuff to do. All this Visionary talk is great until I have to figure out who to call next.

I’m with you my friend!

That’s why what I teach is about congruence. Congruence means your whole life works really well and is in resonance with who you really are. There’s a vibratory nature to things, and when you are incongruent, your vibration is not harmonious (kind of like singing off key). When you are Congruent, you are aligned, whole, harmonious; you make the right decisions and create your career rather than react to what happens. It’s about getting organized, planning for the big vision and not overlooking the details. It’s about setting up your foundation and your systems so that they actually do something for you and your progress. It’s about spending your time and efforts so that business and money flow to you instead of away from you – this is about committing, creating, carving, capturing, connecting and cashing in – on you, your voice and your music, and bringing it to the world.

And the thing is, I have to say here, that many of you I meet aren’t using all of your gifts. You’re segmenting and compartmentalizing parts of yourself. You have other unique gifts (all musicians do), and you don’t believe that you and all your parts can actually come together under one roof and make your work and music a money making opportunity. Instead you’re hiding away and playing small, thinking you can’t integrate all of who you are. Today is about integration and simplifying, not wearing different hats but doing multiple tasks and hosting all your ideas under one. That’s something we address in the Fast Forward to Fame Program and something I have helped hundreds of artists like you create viable businesses out of.

And – I’m also guessing if you’re like so many of the people I work with, you not only need the Big Vision & Support but you also need to know exactly what to do each day (myself included – that’s why I have my own business coach – I wouldn’t dare be without her!)

Here’s what You Need to Know:
  • What to do Every Day. How to maximize your time and efforts!
  • How to get Organized and Know your Next Best Steps Right Away.
  • What to Say on Social Media (We’ll demystify & simplify Twitter) and learn how to use social media to Benefit You (and others) and not simply Take up more of your Precious Time
  • Have a Website that Actually Does Something! (Instead of just sitting there in cyberspace doing nothing!)
  • How to Increase your Tribe of Followers, Friends and Likes and grow your fan base Naturally, Organically and Easily!
  • How to Talk to your Fans and contacts in a way that Isn’t Self-promotional and makes them want to open your Email or Read Your Blog First!
  • How to Create Your “Voice” Online and create expert status with your music!
  • How to Fall In Love With Why You Are Different and Capitalize on it!
  • How to Stop wearing Different Hats and Integrate Who You Are and What You Do Under One Hat! Stop compartmentalizing yourself and splattering your energy all over the place!
  • How to Stop Wasting Time doing the Wrong Things. It’s easy to get distracted and focus on the wrong thing without even realizing it! We’ll turn this around and get you making progress!!
  • How to Create Money and Abundance from doing what you Love!

So let’s get down to the basics about Making your Dream Tangible!  And Making Music Your Livelihood!

Here’s what you’ve got to do, and it seems like a lot at first, but the way I’m going to teach it to you is going to make it so easy and you are going to have my direct support as well. So let’s approach this together, take my hand, and I’ll walk you through it right now.

Here’s just a SAMPLING of the Ten Steps you’ll experience when you dig into this program (from May – August 2012): 

 

Step 1: Creating Your Vision (Big Dream) & Busting the Myths of the Music Business

1The first thing you’ve got to do is to… create your vision and to do that; you’ve first got to clear away the myths of the music business.

If you’re like most artists I work with right now, you probably heard that the music business is getting worse and the truth is, the entertainment industry is falling apart (or rather – changing and shifting!) That’s exactly why you have to bust the old myths to get ahead of the curve and now’s the exact time to move forward with Creating Your Big Dream! A huge part of my teaching is how to take your Big Dream and make it Tangible in Everyday Reality.

We’ll go step-by-step through this process and reverse engineer it right down to your to-do list! But first, you have to HAVE a vision! That’s why we start with this module, so you have the entire 10 weeks to flesh it out and get clear on where you are headed!

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • The top music industry myths, how to bust them and come out ahead instead of waiting, hoping and praying to be discovered.
  • My step-by step formula to create your Big Vision and make it tangible: we take your big dream and then reverse engineer it into real steps.
  • Learn the power of moving from "reactive" to "creative" in your career: get control instead of relying upon others to make it happen for you!
  • PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum Builder Took Kit with downloadable worksheets, resources and tools to apply immediately!

 

Andi Starr“…When I decided that I wanted to pursue my dreams a couple of months ago, I knew things were not going to be easy…”

I had to go through 4 years of engineering school and another 4 years of "the perfect job" to realize that I needed to listen to my inner voice and do what makes me happy. I came across Cari’s site when I was looking for a mentor and the right information. I found that and much more!

Cari Cole gives us, with her program, the recipe to success. Find yourself, be yourself and work hard. It seems simple, but Cari shares the secrets to overcome fear and a detailed plan to get better every day. I am now working on my first EP and I truly believe that I am on the right path to success! Thank you Cari for sharing your wisdom with us!"

STEP 2: Foundationing: Everything You Need to Know About Having a Successful Artist Based Business From Positioning to Systems and Set Up – Including: Falling In Love With Why You Are Different and How That Works In Your Favor! -

1If you’re anything like any artist I’ve ever worked with – you wrestle with the word Brand so much that you could just throw up – there’s something bigger than brand and I call it Foundationing. It’s a combination of 5 key things that any artist that wants to become famous does – and you’re going to love this because it’s a piece of your awareness – and has everything to do with your success.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • My own personal step-by-step Tips and Techniques for knowing and creating your core message, so that when people find you, they want what you have to offer.

David Sabella-Mills“…Working with Cari’s Program was an inspiring and rewarding experience for me…”

Cari is committed to helping artists, in addition to being super talented and experienced. I won a Fame Finder Session with Cari where we spent an hour looking at my music and career. Cari found the unique thread in my songs, and guided me to follow that voice. She motivated me to focus and dive into my craft fully. Thank you Cari, for being an incredible source of support.

step 3STEP 3: The Fan Base Growth System: Learn How to Attract and Capture A Tribe of Really Awesomely Like-Minded People Who Really Love You!

3You’ve probably heard music marketers talk about the list and how important it is to be successful. But it’s actually a lie. The money is not in your list, it’s in your relationship with your list! Because the truth is, people are attracted to people they know, like and trust.

What this means to you is that these days, if you don’t know how to CONNECT with your fans, you may as well close up shop and go get a job in a cubicle. These days it’s ALL about relationship.

And… the BIG secret is learning how to build that authentically (so that when it comes time to buy your concert ticket or record, you are the one they want to support MOST). I will teach you the in’s and out’s and HOW-TO’s of what regular consistent connection can bring and exactly how to do it to turn people on and not turn them off. And by being more authentically you, you will naturally draw fans towards you effortlessly and easily. Learn this powerful system of connecting and attracting fans authentically and create lasting fulfilling relationships that make a difference and grow your reach, while building your presence in the world. There is a specific way to grow your fan base, and no, it’s not overnight, but by following the steps and by doing it authentically and naturally, you’ll build a strong following that sticks with you.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • My Favorite Go-To Strategy for attracting peeps and HONORING them. (Hint: this builds super trust, super-fast!)
  • The Million-Dollar Mantra you must live by that will transform how you show up every day for your fans forever (this is my personal secret for how to turn marketing into an exciting thing vs. a drag!)
  • Simple strategies for connecting and how to automate some of your daily tasks to free up some time!
  • My own personal formula for delivering content and crafting an easy-to-read newsletter (without this, you risk confusing your peeps and getting lots of "unsubscribes.")
  • PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum Builder Took Kit with downloadable worksheets, resources and tools to apply immediately

4STEP 4: Having a Website that Actually Does Something Instead of Just Sit There! (and Better Yet, Works While You’re Sleeping)
1Please do NOT make the same mistake that almost every artist makes! (And it doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or you’ve had your own site for years – this is an epidemic!) Do NOT go out and spend all of your money on a website. In fact, if you’re even thinking of building or re-building your site, please do this module first!

This module is where the rubber hits the road. You’ll discover how to build a site based in your new awareness of your message and what you bring that’s different. You’ll also learn exactly what to do and what not to do so you don’t turn people away.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • Six most common website mistakes that actually repel people who would otherwise happily become fans!
  • My own simple secrets for creating connections with your site no matter what page they’re on!
  • The #1 reason to drive traffic to your website OVER social media pages!! (this alone is worth the price of the Program!)
  • PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum Builder Took Kit with downloadable worksheets, resources and tools to apply immediately!

 

David Sabella-Mills“…Cari provides a wealth of information that is easy to understand and easily applied…”

By following her advice, my voice has become much stronger, and my image and style have developed into those more uniquely mine. Most importantly, I have gained confidence as a performer and as a professional. Thanks, Cari, for helping me step into the spotlight….exactly where I want to be!

5STEP 5: Creating Social Proof: The Power of Social Media for Performers, Demystified & Simplified!
5Do you fall prey to the #1 most common emotion for all "solo-prenuers" (which, by the way, you are) – Overwhelm?

Well it’s not your fault!! Today things are changing at the speed of light. And the truth is: there are many tools that can help you make A LOT more progress in your career.

Take a deep breath, my friend. By the time we get to this module, you’ll already be light-years ahead of most people! And what I’ll teach you here will pretty much guarantee you’ll leave them in the dust (or more likely – have them start calling you to find out how you’re doing it!)

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • Why you and I are single-handedly responsible for wrecking the Entertainment Industry! (And exactly how you can cash in on the new model instead of boo-hooing about it!)
  • Hot insider tips from the experts on how to use social media to make friends, turn strangers into instant fans & followers, reach out to people in the industry you want to meet and get them to follow you.
  • Easy-Peasy Techniques for making Twitter and Facebook a daily habit and showing up authentically!
  • My personal favorite tools that make all of this stuff EASY on you and fun to do!
  • PLUS, each module comes with its own Momentum Builder Took Kit with downloadable worksheets, resources and tools to apply immediately

 

David Sabella-Mills“…Cari Cole is the consummate teacher, creative artist and the ultimate music coach. I feel fortunate to have found her and my craft, artistry and profession have improved greatly…”

Her insight into the mania of being an artist and the climate of the industry make her singularly apt at dealing with and constructively helping vocalists and songwriters. She had developed a phenomenal training program that, when followed, is quite literally fool-proof. I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about becoming the greatest artist they can be, utilizes her wealth of knowledge.

STEP 6: Creating New Fame: Newest Technologies & Approaches for the New Era
6When you hear the phrase "newest technologies," do you collapse in a heap on the floor because you are already maxed out trying to keep on top of it all?

I’m right there with you my friend (big hug!) – who needs another freakin’ thing to do! However, I want to show you how to actually shave time off your day and give you more of it by getting clear on some of the new ways to bypass all the other crap and get right to the good stuff! I’m going to take you by the hand and walk you through this stuff so it’s easy for you to assimilate – you see, I’ve already done all the work and research – and I have years of experience right on the front line, so I’m going to make it easy on you – and give you just the steps to follow.

The truth is, fame is morphing into "new fame". No longer is mega-stardom the only kid on the block! Now artists and bands are creating fame in their own corner of the world, on their own terms without large percentages going big companies who are ripping them off and living off of them.

David Sabella-Mills“…When it comes to coaches, Cari Cole is without a doubt the best in the business…”

Not only is she a master, she has an uncanny intuitive talent when it comes to seeing into the heart of every artist she works with and bringing out the unique essence that makes them so special. On top of that she is one of the most genuine women I’ve ever met in this business – and I believe it’s the combination of her amazing knowledge and who she is as a person that makes her students so extraordinary. Seriously, whether you are just beginning your career or are a seasoned recording artists, Cari will take you to the next level (and then some). She is hands down one of the greatest gifts to the music industry today.

STEP 7: How to Plan and Act Strategically In Your Marketing & PR and Stop the Waiting Game. (That’s called Passive PR and you’re not going to be doing that anymore!)

This is about how to get help and to get the actual word out instead of sitting and waiting to be discovered.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • What the heck a Marketing & PR Campaign is and how to plan one that positions you better in the industry and gets the word out!
  • My 7 Top secrets for capturing people’s attention and wanting to be a part of you and your music (without breaking the bank!)

David Sabella-Mills“…"Cari’s Program came at a real turning point in my music career…”

I already had a voice coach with whom I am working who would often remind me of the need for a marketing strategy but like many artists, I wasn’t really interested in this aspect. I only wanted to focus on my music and the whole idea of ‘selling’ myself was not only overwhelming, but just downright frightening. Honestly, I’m not one for seminars so when my sister introduced me to the program, I thought it was another one of ‘those overpriced seminars’ that leave you with little to no new information.

However the information that Cari shared in just the free conference call was so amazing, I considered it to be the first indication that this program was different. I feel that any life change begins first with the mind, which is why I am so glad I was a part of the program. I learned so much invaluable information that was key to my growth as an artist. It affirmed me in the things I was doing right, and showed me how to improve the others. The attitude, tips, and habits are now a part of my everyday life as an artist. This new information was not only a springboard for my artistic growth but also for marketing myself, something that I now enjoy but loathed in the beginning. You can have great talent as an artist, but with no plan, your dream will only be a dream. Cari Cole’s programs will help you make a plan to reach your goals and make your dream a reality."

David Sabella-Mills“…When I discovered Cari’s work, I had already released three albums with my band Darling Violetta and co-composed a TV theme song…”

Yet I found myself in a place of inquiry about who I was as a solo artist and songwriter. My intention for her program was to find myself as an artist again. Cari is a gifted guide and mentor, and her program has provided me with inspiration, insight and motivation as I uncovered and rediscovered what I desire to express, experience, create and contribute as an artist today. Her coaching challenged and supported me to be fully and authentically who I am as I engage in my creative process and complete my first solo album. Cari helped me to rekindle the inner passion and love I have for music and to reconnect with the joy it brings me to create and perform!

STEP 10:How to Connect to Other Music Industry Professionals and How To Make Relationships That Actually Work for You!
10Do you secretly wish that you had better relationships in the industry and freak out that most of your contacts are your local musician friends?

By the time you are finished with this module, you will know how to make contact and what to do when you do strike up a relationship.

Learn how, in a fickle, fair-weather kind of business, to create real relationships that last the duration of your career (and why that’s critical to your success.)

So you’re probably wondering, “Wow! There’s a ton of content here! How is this all going to work, Cari?”

Great question!

Here’s my answer:

I’ve designed Fast Forward to Fame so that I can take you by the hand and lead you through the 3 month Program step-by-step. That’s because your results mean that much to me!

A quick warning, before you continue reading: I take my students much deeper than most any other program out there. I not only give LOTS of support, attention and accountability, but you’ll also be getting one-on-one support from me too! (You’ve told me you want accountability, so here it is!)

Here’s exactly everything you get in this high-support, high-encouragement and high-value, transformative 90+-day program!
1 – Full Access to private Fast Forward Members Area

Over a period of 14 weeks, you’ll meet with me by audio and some video training, where I will spend one hour or more with you teaching you the powerful steps, strategies, formulas, blueprints, and systems of the Fast Forward to Fame Program and Blueprint.

I’ll share with you the exact steps you need to take to succeed and I’ll make it super easy on you to understand exactly HOW to do the assignments. (By the way, this alone comes out to over 14 hours of time with me coaching you.)

 

2 – Each Module comes with its very own Momentum Building Tool Kit!

Each module is accompanied by all the tools you need to create and guide your momentum as you take your career to a higher level.

1

Samples & Templates to Model You’ll get downloadable samples and templates of materials, scripts and other elements that you can model for your own career and make your work a breeze without having to reinvent the wheel!

1

Worksheets and Clarity Builders These are the core of your training – the tools that will accelerate your progress by accelerating your clarity – the key to your success as we build momentum in this program.

1

Checklists & Strategy Outlines Eliminate the guess work and use all of my checklists to keep you right on track. Use these as a continued reference each time you create any marketing or new system in your business.

1

My Rolodex and Resources For each topic we walk through together, you’ll get an additional bonus that’s just like having my own private rolodex, right there with you. This is all the products, services, people, tools and resources that I have used in my own business – as well as some commentary to help you determine if they will be best for you.

 

3 – Five 90-minute Group Q & A Calls with me.

1As a coach I understand that progress is made because of two things:

Accountability and support.

That’s why I’ve included five Q & A calls during and AFTER your Fast Forward to Fame Program so that you get the support you need. As you go through the 3 month program starting May 22nd, you’ll be able to reach out and get your questions answered right as you need it! PLUS, our calls go beyond the 14 weeks of the program. That’s because I want you to have that extra support as you continue to implement what you’ve learned and transform your career! And at each Q & A, I stay on the phone until every question is answered!

 

4 – Two Private 30 min Strategy Sessions with me.

1During the 10 weeks together, you and I will jump on the phone twice (or in person if you’re in NYC ☺) for thirty-minute private sessions (my private session space is completely filled up so you are first in line!)

In these Strategy Sessions, I will help you plan out and set into motion a custom-made strategy to fit you and your music. We will clarify your direction and purpose, do some Fame Finding (your unique angle) and then set an actual custom made strategy in motion to zoom you forward to having the career of your dreams!!

Then we will reverse engineer backwards so you will know exactly what you need to do to make it all happen. Each artist has a unique path and this is where I get to work personally with you on customizing a plan and strategy to get you and your music positioned for True Success!

Before each session, you will fill out a Prep Form to prepare you for the session (so you can get the most out of it) and so I come to the session knowing exactly where you are at! (By the way, these two sessions alone are worth $400 now!) I also know, by using my Formula, exactly what will need to do to get to where you want to go – and together we will outline those steps so you’ll know precisely what to do!

 

5 – Full Access to your Fast Forward peers through our Online Private Members-Only Facebook Forum

1Here’s where you can get bonus accountability, as well as a place to collaborate and network. With this forum, you’ll get even more feedback, accountability, brainstorming and resources. The advanced opportunities in this forum will be a bonus you will absolutely love! This is one of the most popular features of our programs artists enjoy! Here you can ask questions, support each other and connect with me too.

During the 90+ day program, I will regularly visit our page and answer questions, post ruminations and offer support and guidance. This is a private Facebook forum, only accessible to Fast Forward to Fame Program members!

 

David Sabella-Mills“…Working with Cari Cole and her Programs is the single most influential choice I have made on my path to becoming a professional recording artist.…”

Since I was very young I have had dreams of becoming a ‘pop star’– envisioning myself on a big stage, with bright lights, singing my guts out. But illustrious fantasies are nothing without the right guidance. Luckily for me, I found Cari Cole. Cari saw and believed in my potential even more than I did. She helped me put together my music and career and under her counsel I just signed my first record deal. Thank you to Cari and her programs for making my dream a reality!

David Sabella-Mills“…Cari Cole is the most amazing coach I have worked with to date…”

Her coaching is tailored specifically towards the recording and gigging artist, which is rare. Beyond being a complete master of vocal technique, she has acted as a mentor and has even provided spiritual guidance through rough times. She introduced me to my current executive producer, with whom I’ve just signed a digital promotional record deal, Warner Music Group. Thank you, Cari!!!

PLUS I’ve added in: The Accelerator Pack!!!

High-Level Accelerator Pack Bonus

Accelerator IconAs an extra special bonus, you’ll get my very own HIGH LEVERAGE ACCELERATOR PACK which includes three complete additional Advanced Level Modules:

Self-Management System for Music Creators *Time Management for Creative Types like YOU!*

I know you’re not afraid to work because this is your passion, let’s be honest. In fact, this is not a magic formula or a magic pill – I’m not into that kind of thing. But part of why you feel so overwhelmed is because you haven’t trained your brain to know exactly what to do every day, in addition to your precious artist time, and how to slice the pie of duties.

Accelerator IconThere’s so much on the to do list, but it’s the nature of anything these days; everyone’s in the same boat. I don’t know a single person who sits back and let’s others do it for them (old way of doing things.) There’s too much for everyone these days, especially artists who have more on their plate than ever before. That’s exactly why you’ve got to get it down – how to do it all and still have a life – and be successful with it all.

Here’s a little bit of what you’ll get in this module:
  • The 5 Most Fatal Time Management Mistakes Artists Make and how to avoid them.
  • But how do I know I’m doing the right things to move forward the fastest? I’ll show you how to divide the pie so you’re on track and can eliminate the "splattering" (doing a little of this and that without making progress.)
  • I’ll walk you through a new proven system to simplify and divide up your day – to shift from struggle to ease!
  • The #1 thing you should NOT be doing and why this can make a 75% + impact on your productivity!
  • End the anxiety! After this bonus module, you’ll never have to worry again as to whether you are doing the right thing with your day! Most artists drain their energy worrying about whether their music will ever support them – and that sabotages their career. I’ll share with you the exact way to be sure that DOES NOT happen to you ever!
Money Friendly Mindsets for Musicians

MoneyYour mindset about money will either draw money to you or push it away from you (especially the beliefs in your subconscious brain – more about that in this module!). I know, because I had to do a lot of work in this area, but I will say it is the one thing that has grown my success faster than anything else (and for my artists too!).

I’ll walk you through the new ways you can implement change from training your brain to adapt a whole new way of looking at money – to making you "money-friendly" and more successful in your efforts. This is so important. I know how much musicians need this one that I couldn’t help but include it for you! You’ll learn exactly how to re-program your brain for "abundance"!

Here’s a little bit of what you’ll get in this bonus module:
  • The #1 thing that pushes money away that you probably don’t realize you’re doing!
  • The Exact Daily Formula I use to create a stream of money flowing to you instead of away from you! Retrain your brain to attract money and success!
  • A Step-by-step Money Friendly System to implement every day that will change your relationship with money (for the better) forever!
The Dark Side of Fame: the Special Needs of Artists

WomanMost artists think that fame and money happens, and if that they’re cool enough it just happens. But that is not how it works. The truth is, Fame is manufactured, orchestrated and calculated. Every record label knows that (but wants you to think the opposite!) The gift you have is that you are a creator, so this is not hard, but you have to get over your resistance to it. Artists have special sensitivities and needs that must be understood and nurtured while at the same time strengthened and encouraged in the right ways so they don’t fall prey to the traps of the ego.

Here’s a little bit of what you’ll get in this bonus module:
  • The #1 way to remove obstacles and blocks and get back in forward motion toward your success.
  • Step-by-step Sacred Soul Tools to restore balance and poise.
  • My Very Own Instant Recovery Ritual. It’s not easy being an artist who handles rejection and exposing emotions for a living. This is my very own ritual I’ve used for years to offset the pressures of a creative career (including how to turn tough news around in just 15 minutes.) Draw the good back to you faster and easier!


YES, Cari, Sign me up for the Fast Forward to Fame Program & Blueprint NOW!
I love it, Cari!! And I’m ready! So, what’s my investment to spend 10 weeks working this closely with you and Fast Forwarding my Career?

Here’s the deal.

It’s all about results, isn’t it?

Because with everything I’ve put into this 3 month program, I know that not only will you make the $1497 $997 investment back in a matter of months, if not weeks – but I also know that it will give you multiple returns for years and years to come. (That’s what I mean by being a visionary!) I don’t even have to tell you that! You know it!!

But let’s go deeper than that.

Lots of people tell you that you could sacrifice something in your life to get something that you want. You know the drill. Stop eating out. Get one less pair of shoes next month.

Ugh. The truth is that this is how you get into the struggle mindset in the first place. It’s a non-starter! Because you’re already telling yourself that you’ll fail and that this is about sacrifice!

So, let’s think about it for a second:

Let’s say you do the whole program and you put little effort into it. I’m talking that you have very little time and you spent the rest of your time watching TV. You made one or two adjustments, applied one or two changes and you got, say, THREE new paid gigs (and by the way, most newbie artists start their first paid gigs at $500) That’s 100% return on investment. (Hello?) And that’s without even trying!

The real question is:

What could you do if you REALLY applied yourself and really put the full force of your intention and commitment to it?

THAT’S where it gets interesting!

And if you’re concerned, I’m giving you the Fast Forward to Fame Program & Blueprint in an easy installment plan option. (Since I know that you may not yet be experiencing that CREATIVE CASH FLOW thing.)

Join me! Fast Forward to Fame now
- and watch your music and career soar!
