What People are Saying

“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

“Coaching has given me the impetus to drive my life forward in way I would not have achieved on my own.

“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

“You have brought my music and work ethic into new directions and it’s refreshing to find someone willing to share their years of experience…”
- Volterock, Orange County USA

“Mike has so far managed to help me break out of a creative block, and start writing the sort of music I’ve always wanted to write.”
- James J, Manchester UK

“Mike is awesome he’s like a music producer zen master.”
- Damian C, Miami USA

If you failed 100 times would you try again?

Most people wouldn’t. And their parents, friends and peers would tell them to give up:

“You’re obviously not cut out for it.”

But every failure is a lesson. Every disappointment a chance for growth. And failing 100 times means that when you succeed on your 101st attempt you’ll be ready. And then the same people will say:

“I always knew he’d make it!”

Revel in failure, because failing 100 times (or more) is 100% better than doing nothing.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” - Wayne Gretzky
