(or “12 Steps You Must Take To Get Into Creative Flow Whenever You Want”)

Ahem.

I’m sorry for the title’s tenuous play on words. But it’s the closest I could get to “The 12 Days of Christmas”.

I guess the mince pies must be getting to me. But the reason for this inexcusable misuse of the English language is an honourable one.

During my recent relocation from London to Sydney I’ve had a lot of time to think about how I can serve you best. I want to start my 2012 with a bang, and help you start yours with an even bigger BOOM!!!

You Are Creative To Your Core

I believe that all human beings are creative to their core.

This belief has become stronger as I’ve watched my 22 month old son Harry get older. Apart from breathing, sleeping and eating he does almost nothing else other than create (although admittedly this creation most often takes the form of a mess or worse!)

I also know that our current education methods stifle and suppress creativity, by teaching what we can’t do and what we’re not good at.

Everyone has talent within them. Neuroscience is starting to prove that even though different people might start with a genetic predisposition to be good in a particular skill, this is nowhere near as important as doing it over and over again.

By doing something repeatedly we literally change our brains and become better at it.

My Mission

Isn’t it our creativity that separates us from the other creatures with whom we share this beautiful planet?

And won’t it be our capacity for creative thought that will allow us to find solutions to the many challenges that we face?

What better mission could I have than to help others express and share their creativity with the world?

So, if you’ll allow it, I’d like to help you make 2012 the best year of your creative life so far.

Not Quite A Partridge

And due to the time of year I thought I’d take a seasonal approach.

“The 12 Days of Creativeness” (or if you’re reading this and it’s not Christmas – the slightly more mundane title of “12 Steps You Must Take To Get Into Creative Flow Whenever You Want”) are a series of posts that just like “The 12 Days of Christmas”, will start on Christmas Day and finish on the 5th of January.

But that’s where the similarity ends. Instead of lords, ladies, pipers or partridges each “day” will describe an essential step you must take in order to get into the hyper-productive and hugely enjoyable state of creative flow whenever you want.

Ho Ho Ho…

Now Christmas and New Year are a very busy time for all of us. We have friends, family and fun to be attend to.

But I’ve always found it the best time to reflect not so much on what has been, but on what could be.

How can I help you?

Claude VonStroke (Dirty Bird, USA)

Mike Monday’s process has helped me enormously. I have two record labels, a heavy touring schedule, a wife and two children, and a music production career all running in tandem. There are times when it seems unmanageable and i get lost in a downward spiral that limits my effectiveness as a leader and my ability to be creative in the studio.

Whenever i have a session with Mike we talk it all out and a sense of calm comes over me. i get back to basics and work out all the things in my head that need to get worked out. His process is both calming and therapeutic.

I would also like to add that the additional fact that Mike is a music producer himself and a veteran DJ lends itself to an extra level of trust. I don’t think i would take advice or listen to someone in the same way who was from outside the music industry. In an nutshell I find Mike Monday’s process to be an extremely valuable way to organize and free my chaotic brain to do what it is supposed to be doing.

Johnson Peterson (Yolanda Be Cool)

“I found the time with Mike to be extremely beneficial. His process opened me up to ideas that, even where obvious, I had overlooked or forgotten and I am looking forward to taking them with me to the studio. It was definitely worth it.”

Janelle Palmer (Tutukaka Coast, New Zealand)

“What your course has done for me has been remarkable and I really feel so grateful to you…

Radical is a good word for it! The most unexpected thing I’ve found about the course is the impact it has had on other areas of my life – I was quite surprised about that…

These are definitely transferable skills we are learning here!”

– Janelle Palmer (Tutukaka Coast, New Zealand)

Brett Adams (Los Angeles, California)

“I already think this is one of the greatest decisions I’ve made, and we haven’t even started the curriculum yet.”

Vernon McCarthy (Wellington, New Zealand)

“I just felt inspired to send you a really quick message to say hello and let you know that I am going great guns at the moment.

Managing to get a average of two hours every day producing. This is a huge turn around for me and am loving it. It hasn’t been easy though but I have kept at it.

And much of it has been due to the help and inspiration from yourself, the group and me now actually putting in the work. The online community is such a good thing. Everytime I have gone to have a look I have found something relevant to my thoughts and that has helped me.”

Joe Roberts (London, UK)

“Mike has helped me to start living the truism that it’s not what you use to make music, it’s your ideas.

Those ideas only mean anything when you start putting them down though and that’s what this course has already helped me to start do regularly.

I’ve made more headway in two weeks than I’d managed in a couple of years on my own starting projects, then giving up and starting something new but never seeing them through till completion.”
