Treat Your Bottom Line as Your Client Treat’s Theirs

I remember having a meeting not long ago. My assistant and I sat with a director, an investor / co-producer and two cast members for a play to be brought to the stage in 2010. The meeting purpose, as I understood it based on previous conversations, was for me to meet with the director and investor to discuss what contribution I could possibly make to the production. Specifically, music and how much I would charge them for my services.
