Pro Mobile - The Magazine for Mobile DJs

ISSUE: 75(JAN/FEB 2016)

In 1983 Bono sang “Nothing changes on New Year’s Day” and he was quite right. The passing of one year and the start of the next doesn’t change anything, but it does give an excellent opportunity to reflect on the past 12 months and make a plan for moving forward.

The start of a New Year is the perfect time to take stock of your mobile DJ career and make plans for the coming months. To help with this, we’ve got a few articles in this edition about reflecting on the past and planning for the future. David Reed asks, “Is Your Goal to Have a Better Year in 2016?”, while ‘The Mobile DJ Detox’ applies the principles of the popular ‘January Detox’ health kick to the mobile DJ business.

Of course there is also the usual mixture of mobile-DJ related articles, news, reviews and opinions - happy reading!
