This is for you if:
- You are tired of waiting for word of mouth.
- You undercharge because the math is unclear.
- You avoid outreach because it feels awkward.
- You do not know what you should be known for.
- You have clients, but no real pipeline.
- You want better-fit clients, not just more random inquiries.
- You want to build the business yourself, but need the structure.
What you build
This is not just information to watch. It is a guided build. By the end, you should have the core business infrastructure most engineers are missing:
- A clear picture of what is and is not working
- A realistic monthly revenue target
- A rate floor
- A tiered offer structure
- A clearer positioning direction
- A prospect and relationship map
- Outreach and follow-up scripts
- A pipeline tracker
- A client process outline
- A weekly owner rhythm
- A weekly Sprint to run it for real
The course moves through the full system.
Clarity — See · Shape · Position
Diagnose where you actually stand, build the math under your rates, capacity, and offer, then position yourself so the right clients understand why you fit.
Growth — Attract · Communicate · Sell
Put your proof in motion, run real outreach and follow-up with a pipeline you can see, and move conversations to booked work without becoming pushy.
Delivery — Deliver · Retain · Compound
Protect every project after someone says yes, turn one project into a lasting client, and make every finished record raise the odds of the next one.
Then the loop turns — and the Sprint runs it
Re-score the business, choose the next constraint, and put the whole system into motion with the Weekly Sprint: the same short check-in every day, and a review at the end of the week.
This is not a course about becoming someone else.
You do not need to become loud, fake, aggressive, or salesy. The goal is to make the business side clear enough that you can show up with less panic and more consistency. Most engineers do not need more pressure to work harder. They need a better system for deciding what work matters.
Common questions
You get a self-paced course that walks you through the full Business of Mixing system. The course includes lessons, frameworks, exercises, and Builds that help you create the core infrastructure of your mixing business, plus the Weekly Sprint to put the system into motion.
It is for mix engineers, producers, and audio professionals who want to build a more stable business but prefer to work through the system themselves. It is especially useful if you are undercharging, waiting on word of mouth, avoiding outreach, unclear on positioning, or running too much of the business from memory.
The Intensive gives you a personalized diagnosis and plan in one 60-minute session. The course gives you the full system to work through yourself. If you need a plan, book the session. If you need the full curriculum and can implement independently, join the course waitlist.
The Private Mentorship is two months of private implementation with Michael. The course is self-paced. The curriculum may be similar, but the support level is different.
No. The course is built specifically around the realities of freelance mix engineers: inconsistent work, referrals, awkward outreach, unclear rates, scattered services, client communication, project flow, and the emotional weirdness of turning creative work into a business.
