It's since been discontinued and you can't buy it anywhere anymore. If you have it, thank you so much for being an early supporter!
I know it was released today because I made myself a "Success Calendar" where I keep all the notable dates of what I've made and released.
- Books published
- Albums released
- Products launched
It's a great way to keep track of all the things you've accomplished. We often lose track because we're so stuck in our head with worry that we forget about all the creative things we've done.
Of course, if you still haven't released a single song because you're too afraid to free it from your hard drive graveyard, it's probably time for a change.
Mixing Strategies wasn't the best ebook on mixing. I didn't know a ton at the time so it was pretty short.
But I released it anyway because I wanted to see if people would react to it. It was my MVP, or minimum viable product to see if people would want to learn more from me.
And I remember the rush when that first sale came in. OMG, people are buying my book!
Even if it wasn't the best book on mixing in the world, people found it useful.
I had to write a few short and subpar books before I could write a best-seller in the music industry.
Sustained success comes from simple beginnings and consistent output.
Your first few songs or products won't make your career. But they'll create the stepping stones you need to get closer to finding the success you want.
So even though you might not have a #1 hit in your hard drive graveyard, make room for it by releasing the records you already have.
It's the only way to build your body of work.
