Let’s Do The Business – Going The Distance

The Lowdown

This course is about going into business for yourself. It’s about having the passion and drive to start your own business, and the ways to go about realising that passion and applying it into a business idea. It’s about making the leap from part-timer, casual, hobbyist, whatever, into a  working music industry business, and becoming an industry contemporary.  It’s also (very important) about how to make a living from your idea or creation. You can do it!

What’s In It For Me?

  • What’s your new business idea and will it work?

“In 2015, at the ripe old age of 36, I made the decision to go back to school to further my education in the Entertainment Industry. Filled with many emotions – predominantly fear and self-doubt – I walked in to my very first lecture. I was fortunate enough to have Ben running that class and I was made to feel instantly at ease.

His incredibly warm, open and humorous persona was only superseded by his wealth of experience and knowledge of the Music Industry. His authentic passion for both the industry and education was infectious and I sincerely enjoyed every class I had with him. Ben made an extraordinary effort with me personally to make me feel supported at a time when I was feeling quite doubtful that emerging in to an industry at my age was a sound choice.

More recently I have graduated from that educational facility and have gone on to create my own successful business. It was having lecturers like Ben Steer that instilled in me not only the education and tools required to create my own dream job but more importantly the self-belief and how to think creatively. 

Ben was truly the best teacher I have had. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

Mike Cotton-Stapleton, JMC Business & Management Graduate

"I've known Ben for many years now through different bands that I've played in. Ben's background has been working with the great record companies and in various departments. For instance; promotion, A&R and publicity. He has a great love of music from both as a fan and from a commercial point of view. I would like to mention Ben's particular ability to connect with any band on any level. He has a great rapport with every band he's worked with. I wish him all the best with Continuous Music - it's such a great idea".

"I met Ben as a mature age student. Right from the get-go he had my attention as you could tell he has a wealth of experience within the music industry and how it works. Safe to say having Ben as a lecturer throughout my time as a mature age student kept me sane and wanting to continue attending. His passion and knowledge of the industry is infectious and refreshing in such a competitive field of work.  I could not have gone through the years I spent in tertiary learning without having a teacher as great as Ben"
