Why you’re here (there is a reason) — I appreciate your interest! Hey, I’m David Andrew Wiebe. This is going to be redundant to some, but so long as there are curious and confused souls, I’ll happily answer this question. I’m the founder and CEO of Music Entrepreneur HQ and Content Marketing Musician. I’m the best-selling author of…

Keep Getting up to Bat — If a baseball player hits a base hit one in three times up to bat, he’s considered a success. It’s the rare player, in fact, who ends up with a batting average of .300 (that’s 30%) or higher at the end of a season. When it comes to writing content…

Here’s Why the Hustle Doesn’t Work — From the mundane to the intensive, from bookkeeping to marketing strategy, being a self-employed is a balancing act at the best of times.

If you’re anything like my friends, then you’ve been in this position more times than you can count. As a self-employed, you are your own boss. And that means you…

And most of the time, it’s not as though we have set hours, let alone a predictable monthly income.
