45 Minutes That Could Save Your Career

Let me show you exactly what's broken (and how to fix it)

You know something's off.

Maybe you're working harder than ever but making less. Maybe you're watching younger engineers charge twice your rate. Maybe you're just tired of feeling like you're running in place.

Here's the thing: You can't read the label from inside the jar.

The Strategy Audit is me looking at your business with fresh eyes and telling you exactly what needs to change. No sugar coating. No generic advice. Just specific, actionable steps based on your exact situation.

What Happens in Your Audit:

Part 1: The Diagnosis (15 minutes)

I ask targeted questions to understand your current reality:

  • Your actual numbers (most engineers don't know them)

  • Your workflow and systems (or lack thereof)

  • Your positioning and pricing

  • Your biggest frustration right now

Part 2: The Prescription (25 minutes)

I show you exactly what to fix:

  • The 1-3 things killing your profitability

  • The quickest wins you can implement this week

  • The strategic shifts that will transform next year

  • Whether you need Elite, Accelerator, Foundation, or nothing at all

Part 3: The Plan (5 minutes)

We map out your next steps:

  • What to do in the next 7 days

  • What to focus on for 30 days

  • Whether we should work together (and how)

Real Engineers, Real Results:

"I went in wanting a third party to help point out my blind spots, and I got more than that. While pointing out my blind spots, Michael also helped me evaluate every aspect of my process, large and small, and refine it all in a way that helped me be more efficient and consistent."

— James Parrish, Mixing Engineer (Los Angeles)

"Before working with Michael, I had a solid foundation but knew I needed a reframe to grow. His coaching is more reflective than prescriptive, so be ready to think deeply, but the clarity it leads to is real."

— Eugene Dziachek, JETSONIX (Warsaw, Poland)

What You'll Walk Away With:

  • Crystal Clarity on what's actually wrong (not what you think is wrong)

  • Specific Action Steps you can implement immediately

  • Honest Assessment of whether coaching will help (I'll tell you if it won't)

  • Confidence that you're focusing on the right things

  • Recording of our call to reference later

This Is For You If:

  • You're making less than $5K/month consistently

  • You feel stuck but don't know why

  • You want an expert opinion before investing in coaching

  • You need accountability to take action

  • You're ready to hear uncomfortable truths

This Is NOT For You If:

  • You want someone to do the work for you

  • You're not willing to change

  • You think the industry is the problem

  • You're looking for magic bullets

  • You're not ready to invest in growth

The Uncomfortable Truth:

Most engineers never book this call. They think about it. They bookmark the page. They tell themselves "maybe later."

And five years from now, they're in the exact same place, charging the same rates, having the same problems.

The engineers who book this call? They're the ones who email me a year later talking about their best quarter ever.

Which one are you?

FAQ:

"Is this a sales call?" It's a strategy call where I might recommend a program if it fits. But I've told plenty of engineers they don't need coaching. I'm not here to sell you something you don't need.

"What if I can't afford any program?" I'll give you a DIY plan. The audit alone is worth it for the clarity and direction.

"How should I prepare?" Know your numbers: monthly average income, number of clients, rates, and hours worked. Have one specific question ready. Be prepared for honesty.
