“Mike Monday is an amazing coach. From our very first session I have become more driven, more focused and more effective.

 Things that seemed like impossible dreams in the past are now clearly achievable. I’m seeing real results.”
- Ian, London

“Working with Mike has been one of the most important choices I have made as a musician; he has shown me how to unlock my own innate abilities to take control over my creative process.

I experienced immediate results working with Mike. After our first session, I was already breaking through obstacles to my creativity and workflow. However, the new techniques that I’ve learned can also be applied to other aspects of life, and they are tools I can use for a lifetime.

In addition, Mike’s professionalism made him a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend his service to any artist seeking to unlock their potential.”
- Preston Hart, Portland, Oregon, USA

“Mike has been instrumental in creating that impetus and with his support I am setting and achieving goals that I had previously considered a ‘pipe dream’. A truly life changing experience.”
- Tricia Ford, Edinburgh

Are You Scared of Making Mistakes?

No one likes making mistakes. But are you scared of them? Maybe so scared that you’ll deny making one?

Don’t be scared. Because a mistake is your best chance to learn.

Accept responsibility for a mistake. Work out why or how you made it. And you’ll be highly unlikely to make it again. And don’t let your fear of mistakes stop you.

Expect mistakes. Don’t be afraid of them. Learn.

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” - George Bernard Shaw

Like anyone else, I've always been reluctant to exposing my own mistakes. But the reality of it IS, that there is always something to be learned from it. If you don't apply yourself in the first place, without mistakes, it drastically reduces your percentage to succeed. The analogy is as simple as learning to ride a bike. The first 2 weeks suck miserably. Pedal marks on your shins, sand scratches on your palms, and a sore ass. But eventually your gluteus is trim, you can ride with no hands and cut corners like a bike messenger. :) Sleep to dream, and fall to stand up!
