On Music Think Tank, **Marcus Taylor** [suggests](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/is-money-limiting-your-bands-growth.html?ref=hypebot.com) that money is bad for your band. He explains that focusing on short-term methods of monetising your music career too early can be counterproductive and hurt your career.

In addition, having less money can make you more valuable. “So, in other words, I think your band should try to make money and operate as a business," he writes, "but you **shouldn’t let your perception of money get in the way**.”
