From Dead-End Job to Dream Career
You Get What You Give tells the story of Casey, an aspiring music producer who hates his day job.
Every day he leaves his dream of being a successful music producer behind as he clocks in at the office. One day, he rage-quits his job to start his studio but realizes he has no idea how to find clients to replace his income.
After a disastrous start and quickly running out of his savings, he meets a mysterious “musicpreneur” who teaches him the strategies he needs to succeed.
Will he get his studio business off the ground, or will he crawl back to his corporate marketing job?

"You will have so much fun devouring the pages to find out what happens to Casey, Noah, and Buttrock Barry that you won't realize you've learned how to launch a business. Essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to earn money as a creative, consultant, or freelancer in the knowledge economy."
-Caleb Warren PhD, Associate Professor of Marketing, University of Arizona.
"Great book for anyone who wants to turn their passion for music into profit. Björgvin will show you the ropes for taking the next steps in treating and turning your passion into a business in an engaging and quick to read book. This book was very relatable for me. I found myself nodding in agreement as the story of Casey unfolded and I put it down a little wiser on what to do next. Although specifically about audio engineering, the underlying principles applies to any entrepreneurial effort and is well worth the read."
-Jon-Yngve Bakke, Home Studio Musician and Songwriter
"I've read several books on business and audio engineering, but none of them grabbed me the way that You Get What You Give did. It's welcoming and inviting, packed with useful information and pepper with music and pop culture references that make it feel real and relevant in a way that no other book has. The chapter on Imposter Syndrome was especially helpful and motivated me to make some serious changes in my life."
-Brad Pack, Professional Mixing and Mastering Engineer.
"This book reminded me of the Richest Man in Babylon. It was a parable for making it in the music business as "Babylon" was for personal finances. I learned what people have been trying to teach me for years, but for some reason it was easier to digest with how Bjorgvin put it in this book. I look forward to the renewed vigor this book has given me. I didn't know where music would take me in the coming years, but this book has reinspired me."
-Leo Terry III
"A number of business authors try to use the parable framework but few do it well. You Get What You Give is the exception because the author is a gifted storyteller and also has deep domain expertise in the music industry. Anyone who is trying to start or has started their own entrepreneurial endeavor as well someone who has an affinity for the music industry will enjoy and benefit from this book. It is clear that the author cares deeply about his readers and has surpassed the goal of “giving deeply.” A meaningful and fun read!"
-Gina Catalano
"Björgvin hit this one out of the park. I love how he shares so many anecdotes from his real experiences that we can all relate to. Although I was running a successful private recording studio, I still have found myself learning so much from his experiences that I always purchase everything he publishes as soon as it is available. This man is the real deal. He really wants independent artists to succeed and his technical knowledge is on point. I love this book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to really up their game in the new music industry as an artist, engineer, or musicpreneur. Do yourself a favor and purchase this very real and inspiring piece of work. Your future self will thank you."
-Rebecca De La Torre
"This book is not just for people who operate within the world of audio engineering and recording. It’s definitely for those people, but if you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or simply someone who wants to learn about different ways to approach life’s challenges- this book is for you too. Sometimes how-to’s and self-help books can be a bit boring and preachy but this was a fun read and the “parable” format made it also an accessible read."
-Gabriel Muñoz
"This was a fantastic book written as a fictional story about an aspiring music producer. It is written as well as the famous books written in this style by some of the new thought leading authors. I loved it and couldn't put it down. Finished it in a few hours. Very inspiring. One of the few books I've read where I was absolutely thrilled with the book and only sad that it had to end since I was enjoying it so much. I hope he writes another one. His other books are great for sound engineers too and very practical. He is a great story teller and very good with analogies too. I love his email list. One of the few emails I actually look forward to getting."
-Dianne D. Cray
"I haven't read a book quite like this. Bjorgvin manages to offer us readers loads of wisdom, both practical and philosophical, through an enjoyable and relatable story casually told in laymen's terms. It's clear that the wisdom he passes along is not just from research, but from years of experience, failures, and successes. I really enjoyed the story, the characters, and the sensory aspect of following the plot along with a Spotify playlist of carefully curated tunes. I am a full-time professional musician, running my own music business for 7 years, and currently establishing my first project studio. There are concepts in here that I would have loved to know about when I was 16, just dreaming of a music career but feeling it was impossible; when I was in my late 20s, finally getting the guts to give it a go, and still now in my 30s there's so much here to apply to my growth, most importantly to define and focus on the impact that I want to make in this world through my craft! It could have saved me years of trial and error, chasing shiny things that seem so alluring, but just left me unsatisfied. Even now, with 7 years under my belt, there was so much to glean and apply to my approach as a professional music maker. I highly recommend this book for folks in the music industry, or anyone who is looking for wisdom to help you on your creative path."
-Eric L'Esperance
"A mix of inspiring, practical, and entertaining! I read You Get What You Give simultaneously with James Altucher's best-seller Choose Yourself and found You Get What You Give similarly helpful and motivational, I appreciated the overarching theme of community and connecttedness. And, among other things, You Get What You Give helped take the mystique - and the sleeze - out of the (former) bane of my artist existence ... MARKETING."
-Chrissy Benson
Here's How I Monetized My Creative Skills In the Audio Industry Without Being Sleazy and Annoying
Hi, I’m Björgvin Benediktsson.
(Don’t worry, you can call me B. That’s what my friends do so now you can too).
I’m an audio engineer, author, entrepreneur and educator. My advice has been featured in publications such as MusicTech magazine, The Recording Revolution, Startup Tucson, The Huffington Post, CD Baby's DIY Musician's Blog, Audiotuts, and the SAE Institute. I’m also a venture advisor for the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship at the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona.
I've run my own profitable online business in the music industry since 2009, and it’s grown from an ugly-looking blog earning less than a dollar to a reputable online platform earning six figures year over year, serving tens of thousands of customers, giving me the freedom to work from wherever I want.
I succeeded in a niche that's so tiny that 99% of the world doesn't care about it. But how I promote myself and sell my products makes me stand out from everyone else, and that's what I want to share with you today.
Unlike the online gurus out there who give you an exhausting buffet of options that make you queasy, You Get What You Give shares a simple blueprint for finding customers for your creative-centered products, giving you the freedom to create what you want when you want.

What Have People Said About My Advice?
"...my first online course launch wouldn't have been the same without him. That course sold over $14,000 in the first couple weeks."
"With his online business experience and achievements, Björgvin has been a real model to follow. The content he provides is phenomenal and helps me a lot by giving me ideas and direction on how to organize, monetize and implement my online platform as an artist and entrepreneur. He helped me tweak the sales page copy for my first online course launch I did via email and it wouldn't have been the same without him. That course sold over $14,000 in the first couple weeks."
-Chris Selim, Creator of Mixdown Online and The Ultimate Guide to Cubase. Montreal, Canada
"tens of thousands of dollars in extra business just from random people that had forgotten about me. It was weird how it instantly worked!"
"Like most audio engineers, I tend to be a little more audio-nerd than entrepreneur. Because of this, I frequently have "small business blind spots" which Björgvin has helped me to see and overcome. When he speaks, I take notes. His advice on writing and email marketing has dramatically changed my business. I don’t think anyone has anywhere near as much experience as he does...You have had a huge impact on me learning how to write decent emails and the benefit to my business was just bananas. It was tens of thousands of dollars in extra business just from random people that had forgotten about me. It was weird how it instantly worked!"
