Chasing the Big Break: A Strategic Path for Performing Artists
by Lisa J Butler
Talent will only get you so far. What separates the performing artists who build a lasting career from the ones who stall out chasing the next big thing is direction, and that's exactly what this book delivers.
Chasing the Big Break is a practical, no-nonsense guide for songwriters, musicians and performing artists who are still in the chase: still working toward that break, still figuring out where to focus their energy, and ready for a bit of real structure to get there.
Drawing on more than thirty years in the music industry, including her work as founder of the Australian Songwriters Conference and as a career coach for performing artists, Lisa Butler walks readers through the process of finding genuine clarity, understanding their starting point, naming the obstacles actually shaping their career (not just the ones on the surface), and choosing a strategic pathway that fits their real life, not someone else's.
Each chapter builds on the last, moving from goal to direction, from direction to a working strategy, and from strategy to consistent action you can sustain. Along the way, readers work through hands-on worksheets and exercises designed to turn insight into a written plan, not just inspiration that fades by the following week.
This isn't a book about waiting to be discovered. It's about doing the work that makes discovery more likely, and building a career that holds up once it happens.
Whether you're years into gigging and still searching for traction, or just starting to take your craft seriously, Chasing the Big Break gives you what most performing artists never get: a clear, honest, strategic path forward, and the reassurance that you don't have to figure it out alone.
