I went on a reading kick this weekend and read three books by the same author.

I started with Running Down a Dream, his self-described "roadmap to winning creative battles."

That one was so good I got interested in his books on book marketing, so I read both Your First 1,000 Copies and The Book Launch Blueprint.

Those books were both excellent in their own right even though I knew most of the material already. 

You see, every time you read a book you can't be sure you're going to learn only brand new secrets. 1,000 copies would be a dream to a new author, but I've sold way more than 1,000 copies of my books, especially of my best-sellers like Step By Step Mixing and EQ Strategies, so I already knew most of the fundamentals.

However, even though I don't consider myself a beginner and know most of the material, I still got something out of reading them because it gave me a new perspective. The author's experience and points of view are (obviously) different than mine, and I'm always on the lookout for a new way of thinking about things.

That's why I think it's so great to have a beginner's mind. Even if you're experienced, you'll still learn something new from going back and strengthening your understanding of the fundamentals.

Keep that in mind the next time you're trying to improve your skills. Strengthening the foundation of your skills by adding new insights from other experienced mentors is guaranteed to make a greater impact.

You might know as much as you need about mixing, but I'm sure the materials inside Step By Step Mixing will add a different dimension to your workflow.

If you'd like to go back and reinforce that foundation, check out your materials here:
