Welcome to another episode of the Online Business Success Cast.

This episode, I have something very different for you.

My guest, James Dering, quit his job, then in just 18 months:

• created a profitable business teaching piano online and offline,
• lost 74 lbs, and
• became a better husband and father to his 5 kids.

What can you learn from his journey?

If you’re not familiar with James, learn more here:

I'm a jazz and contemporary pianist, composer, music teacher, and former music professor. I'm passionate about helping others to create their own music at the piano, especially in “improvisation-based” styles like jazz, blues, and pop.

I've taken my experiences online with my site, BetterPiano.com (which offers a free book, online lessons, and email tips) and my podcast, “The Better Piano Podcast.” My goal is to truly help as many people as I can, and to build a solid business around offering a full line of products and services related to my niche.

At the end you even get to hear James improv a little song for us. I apologize the sound quality of the recording doesn't do it justice. But it's still awesome to hear.
