**The Art of Business Workshop**
**10:30 AM – 3:30 PM**
Business advice isn't one-size-fits-all, and creative businesses have challenges that most business courses never address.
This workshop was designed specifically for artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs.
I'll pull back the veil and show you exactly how I've built my own creative business. You'll see real numbers, real-time statistics, what worked, what didn't, and why. I'll translate marketing, websites, branding, and social media into practical, approachable steps you can actually take—without spending more money or living on your phone.
We begin by talking about *your* business. Before we dive into strategy, I want to understand what you create, who you serve, where you're feeling stuck, and what success looks like for you. That conversation shapes the workshop, making it a collaborative experience rather than a generic presentation.
Throughout the day we'll explore topics like:
* Branding—what it actually means and how it applies to a creative business.
* Building a business that reflects *you*, not the latest trend.
* Social media that feels authentic instead of exhausting.
* Websites that help convert visitors into customers.
* Creating an experience people remember and talk about.
* Simple systems that save time while helping your business grow.
* Practical ways to increase revenue without simply working more hours.
You'll receive a buildable workbook that becomes a personalized guide for your business. Throughout the workshop you'll fill it with notes, ideas, and action steps that you can continue building on long after the day is over.
The comment I hear most after these workshops is, *"I finally know what to do next."* People love walking away with real, tangible action steps they can implement immediately—ideas that don't require a bigger budget or another ten hours each week.
This isn't theory. It's the workshop I wish someone had taught me years ago—created by a full-time working artist who's built a thriving creative business and wants to help you build yours.
