This week's episode #222 we comment on a recent article Why Entrepreneurs Need to Be Scramblers by Fran Tarkenton. Fran was the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings and was known for his ability to scramble. Every band/musician is a entrepreneur and this article has some amazing advice that can be applied directly to every band, every musician.

"You come up with a plan, but no matter how much time you spend preparing, there\u2019s a good chance something will happen that you weren\u2019t prepared for. The play starts to break down. When a product doesn\u2019t sell like you expected, a marketing campaign flops, a new competitor moves into your market, you have to do something. I still scramble. I look for a way to get closer to my goal and find something that works. If one thing isn\u2019t working, then change it. Stay focused at all times on what\u2019s going on and keep moving. Never stand still and let the defense knock you down."
