The key word here is Gene Simmons of Kiss, 90% of his Billion
dollar fortune is from merchandising of Kiss not the  music. licensing
everything from A to Z
he also has multiple streams of income, so if one stream dries up
the others carry it. Gene is a business Genius! learn from him!

At risk  of offending some of the list, it is often business sense and
not "talent"  - which I think is a misleading term anyways - that
separates the pros from  non-pros.  Especially starting out in this
era, getting/finding work  on the harp will be a full-time job that
doesn't pay.  Add to that the  fact that harp isn't all that popular
and most bands/musicians will dismiss  you as a canidate as soon as you
mention you play  harp.
