Without risk, our lives simply stay the same. Not all risks work, but *almost* all risk is worth taking. How can you know what could be if you never try?

Why Not?

Y’all know I hate self-promotion and all that, so this is from the heart. I believe wholeheartedly in the concept of WHAT IF. It’s how I live my life, it’s how I run my business, it’s how I feed the creative within.

Without a risk, a dream, or even the possibility of more, creatives will simply not survive. We thrive on pushing ourselves and our experiences - it’s how and why we create.

Now imagine this - a three day workshop taught, in tandem, by 7 amazing creatives/businesses/speakers.  Each Innovator’s talk will build on the last, creating a cohesive series of topics and a whole experience. Add to that the community we are building and the location it’s all set in, you simply can’t go wrong by being here.

Remember, fellow artist-preneurs, it’s not about the gear, it’s not about the products you offer, it’s not about learning how to shoot like someone else…it’s about feeding your own creative soul and using that soul to build a creative business. It’s about discovering YOUR voice (not emulating someone elses) and it’s about trusting that you are the one thing that both stands in your way and determines long term success.

It’s time for a change. Make it with us.

Do you give yourself permission to dream, to create from a place of genuine intent, to do more than simply what is in front of you?
When you close your eyes and breathe deep breaths, what do you see? Is it work? Is it client demands? Is it scary to go to that place?
As creatives, artist-preneurs, if you will, sometimes all we have it the space in between - the place where our creativity bleeds through and gets us past the rough times, the deadlines, and demands of clients. It is the space in between that takes us to a moment of greatness in our creativity, propels us to new heights and opportunities.
If you are too busy, to over worked, too distracted, you are no longer an artist-preneur, but merely another worker bee.
Be More.
Breathe Deeply and with Intent.
Relax into the place where your mind soars freely and you create in that moment.
There is nothing more vital to an artist-preneur than the freedom to dream. Reclaim that and maintain it in your life everyday.
