How This Musician Makes $500K/year Working 2 Hours A Week | 072
Manage episode 476289008 series 3530384
Today I’m joined by Lars Tiger, a Norwegian music producer who makes $500,000 a year—almost entirely profit—working just two hours a week from his home in the south of France.
We dive deep into the experiment that made it possible: releasing thousands of piano tracks with no marketing, using pure volume to generate income and data. Lars shares how he redefined quality, stopped chasing perfectionism, and built a flywheel that creators in any industry can apply.
You’ll learn how volume creates financial stability, how to think like a fisherman (not a perfectionist), and why quantity—not quality—is the fastest path to mastery.
