Jason's post: Musical Entrepreneurship

Jason Heath has written a series of posts covering the hidden costs associated with freelance work as a musician. The reality: The prospects of being a musician can be quite uncertain. Do read Jason's most recent post, Road Warrior Without an Expense Account Part X—Refocusing (Musical Entrepreneurship) to find out some of the challenges faced by classical music musicians.

So why do people still want to be and continue to be musicians? I quite like how Jason had things phrased:

We musicians know the value of what we do. We know that our art can change lives, create happiness, inspire greatness in others, and simply make the world a more beautiful place. We would sooner die than give up on this amazing language and means of communication.
