Artist | Facilitator | Strategist | Speaker
I AM TIRED OF:
Living in survival mode with no financial plan
Living in fear of not having enough
Job searching for opportunities that do not fit me
Feeling like I have to choose between what I want to do and what I LOVE to do
Sitting with BIG ideas and not knowing where or HOW to start
Build a savings account over 10K
Establish a working budget for you and your business
Earn MOORE and payless
Build a business & your brand
Land that dream job
LEVEL UP
Serve others
Oh, and making your art too…
It was clear to me that a 6, now, 8 billion dollar industry could be one where no artist suffered financially. I wanted to prove that to be true. So I positioned myself to work in places that allowed me to learn what was happening behind the scenes while supporting artists.
My peers began to take notice and would come to me when they needed help applying for grants, residencies, and jobs. When people needed to brush up their networking skills or had questions about how to build a strategic partnership, they came to me. Eventually, I was invited to talk about the creative economy, arts entrepreneurship, and teach creative movement courses.
I began to notice that I existed in a world where people were content with not having enough. For a short time, I did too. The root cause of that belief is complex, yet, the commonality between most people was that they didn’t understand the nature of business or money.
Statistically speaking, artists are one of the few groups of people that go to college and work in their field. Reports reflect that they are the happiest. I think it’s because of the art, not the job!
My solution to this problem was to create a program to help people make the switch and begin to build the life of their dreams, not separate from their artistic practice.
It is not an easy path, with the right mindset, yes, we can do anything!
People who are wrestling with the discomfort of not having enough
Those who are ready to do what it takes to advance in their careers and finances
Working professionals looking to leap into their entrepreneurial endeavors
New solopreneurs realizing they got a lot to learn to get to where they want to go
People who believe they have all the answers and unwilling to learn
Those who are content in their struggle and not interested in growing
People who are looking for investment advising
Those unwilling to dig deep and get personal

In a Switch Statement, coding term, the values of a variable impact the flow of the program. Our first step is to identify your values and understand more about how they have shaped your actions.
In a Switch Statement, coding term, the cases that do not match up with the values do not get activated. Changes will be made for you to align your values to the right action. This is where we start putting some movement behind the goals stated in step one.
In a Switch Statement, coding term, the executed program flow is based on the inputted values. At this point in the process, we would have worked through the bugs to get you up and running efficiently.
