 THE FINISH MORE MUSIC BLUEPRINT

So, there you have it. The Finish More Music Blueprint.
That’s the system and formula that’s been used by 100’s of my Finish More Music
Members to become prolific at finishing better music, faster.

I truly hope that this Blueprint (and all of the free training videos I’ve given you) has
opened your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about your music and your approach to
your production sessions. Because once you start to use these strategies and tactics into
your sessions... well, life will never be the same again. Literally. It’s the end of the “hope
strategy” – you’re no longer at the mercy of random tutorials, piles of VST’s and plugging
away in uncertainty on your own.

You can make a choice to stay in your existing cycle and go back to your sessions and
your music and nothing will have changed.

You can keep slogging away with a “hope strategy”... and you can keep believing that
one day that strategy will actually start working. But if you’re ready to take control of your
productions, your music, your goals... then your path is clear – and it’s the Finish More
Music System.

It’s time to take control. Because once you start using the FMM System you’re going to
banish HOPE forever… YOU are now in the driver’s seat.

You can tap into exactly what your music needs. You can freely finish your tracks, produce
quickly, upskill precisely and build a network of contacts that will support, encourage and
inspire you to PROGRESS, faster than ever before. And whenever you decide it’s time to
pull the trigger and release your tracks; you’ll be armed with a portfolio of quality music
ready to take your OPPORTUNITY with both hands.

I’ve already given you a TON of training materials - in this Blueprint and all the training
videos I’ve given you.

I know some people will take my challenge to follow the FMM system and they’ll get
started right away with setting up the habits and routines of a successful producer.

16
 THE FINISH MORE MUSIC BLUEPRINT

That’s awesome – and they won’t be the first to have success using my free training
materials alone.

Other people may realise they want to go all-in, and have the accountability, support and
step by step guidance to implement the FMM System.

In a few days, I’ll be opening up the doors to the new FMM Membership 2.0. It’ll will only
be open for a few days and then we’ll be getting started right away with implementing
the FMM System for YOUR music.

Once registration opens, you’ll need to act quickly, so watch your email over the next few
days for all the details about how you can join us inside the FMM Membership.

In the meantime, for a limited time only, you can go back and check all the free training
videos at:
