“Working with Andrew Hitz through TEM Coaching has been pivotal in taking my career to the next level. Using tools such as the Business Model Canvas, Andrew ultimately guided me into starting Wisconsin Music Ventures. His expertise and passion for the music business is evident; I’m extremely grateful for his assistance in everything from career counseling to website building to payment structure. Thank you, TEM Coaching!”
In my experience, most musicians who are having trouble breaking through to the next level need help specifically identifying what is holding them back. TEM Coaching will identify exactly what obstacles stand in your way and help you devise an actionable plan to overcome them.
Just like a trusted set of ears for our playing, an outside perspective is frequently what is needed to help identify the problems being faced. And just like in the practice room, being able to diagnose and prioritize the challenges faced are the essential first steps toward moving past them and to realizing your goals.
