The Artist Initiative Home

Ever wish you could spend more time in the studio, and less time doing the business stuff?

Hey, artist...I get it.

You are a creative. And getting to spend your day bringing your ideas to life is what it's all about.

You want your art business to be sustainable, and you want to feel like you are contributing to your household finances vs. draining them to make your art.

You think that the time you spend marketing and selling is holding you back from making your art.

You know that you have so much to say through your art...so much to share with the world...so much creativity inside of you that is just waiting to burst out - but you just can't quite figure out how to get lots of people to notice.

When they do...and they connect...it feels like magic.

But writing emails, and posting on social networks, and meeting new people all feel far from magical.

You think that there are some artists that are just born better at this than you...they are extroverts, and more interesting, and are better at the "people" thing.

But what you are forgetting is that you didn't wake up one day being the incredible artist that you are.

You learned how to be an incredible artist. You made a lot of unincredible artwork on the path to being incredible.

It's the same with your marketing and sales.

IF YOU WERE AS INCREDIBLE AT MARKETING AND SELLING YOUR ART AS YOU ARE AT MAKING YOUR ART...YOU'D BE LIVING THE DREAM.

Here's what it might be like for you right now...

You know that you have to talk about your art, and that it's part of having an art business, but it never feels good or easy.
Whenever you sit down to market your work, you have absolutely no idea what to say, so you end up finding something else to do instead...like checking your email, getting inspired on IG, or going to the studio...and the marketing always gets pushed to the backburner.
You tell your people that you are going to send them an email newsletter...but it's been months...becuase everytime you sit down to write one you feel stuck...and after hours of creating something, you don't send it out because you think you are going to bother them with it.
When people do reach out about purchasing work, everything feels out of your control and frenzied, and you go into DEFCON 5 mode - prepared to do and say anything to make the sale.
You wait to feel like you are in the mood to talk about your work...
Or, you do it out of pure last minuteness because you have a show coming up this weekend and you haven't told anyone about it yet.

But it's your art, and you are smart, and you know that this is totally something that you should be able to figure out...but it still feels so hard.

And here's why...

You learned that to be successful in business you have to make the things that you think people want and then say the things you think they want to hear.

SO WE ARTISTS SPEND OUR TIME SCROLLING TO SEE WHAT IS SELLING [SEEKING THE THINGS PEOPLE WANT] AND THEN CHANGING OUR ART AND OUR WORDS TO MATCH [WHAT YOU THINK THEY WANT TO HAVE AND HEAR].

And your artwork becomes a chore...something you have to suffer through.

And you have no idea what to say, because the only reason you are creating the art you are making is to sell it. And, of course, your heart isn't in that.

You've painted yourself into a box...making art you don't love in order to sell art so you feel like a legit professional artist and you've got the sales to prove it. But you're not happy...and you don't know how to break the cycle.

IT'S TOTALLY POSSIBLE TO STOP DEFINING SUCCESS BY OTHER ARTIST'S RESULTS, AND REDEFINE YOUR OWN SUCCESS BY CREATING THE ART THAT LIGHTS YOU UP.

And that's where 5kin90days comes in.

Because the only thing stopping you from creating collectors and earning more money in your art business is your willingness to

1. Show YOUR work. [no more making art to sell - you will learn how to sell the art you love making]

2. Talk to people. [get to know them - truly - and build strong relationships]

3. Help them with your artwork. [understand how valuable your work is, and help them see that too]

It's easy, and it's not.

And I'm going to be there with you along the way to help you with each step.

I’m not exactly what one might call a bubbly person, but like you, I believe we get back what we put into it. For much of my life I’ve coasted along- then you came along with your boundless energy, optimism, and no holes barred cheer leading and I was in awe. I convinced myself that at 65, there’s no way I can do all of this. But along the way, I’m seeing how to balance it all and keep the balls in the air. I just wanted to express my deep gratitude for your generosity, patience, and insight, and for pulling me down the path in spite of my objections. Whether I vocalized them or not, they were there.

INTRODUCING

5k in 90 days isn't a to-do list based program that tells you what to say and do to market and sell your art...you can find all of that on google...and if that actually worked, you wouldn't be here right now.

It's about simplifying everything...including goalsetting [we just give that one to you]...so that you can focus on the fundamentals, master skills for life, learn to trust yourself, and share your work from a place of love, service, and integrity.

Here's how it is broken down. You need to learn how to...

1. PLAN how you spend and save your time and money. What we focus on gets done....and so we spend time in the beginning cleaning up our mindset around Time and Money and making a plan for both.

2. CREATE cleanly and unattached to what we think people want. You'll be introduced to the tools to discover the purpose and value of your art.

3. SHOW & TELL your work and your story to help people with your artwork.

4. SELL to any collector anywhere...whether it's in person or online...through service and integrity.

You'll be given strategies that you can implement right away in your art business, with a follow along workbook, prompts to help you along, and live mentoring in the Facebook group, and weekly coaching sessions.

Here is how the content is broken down...

In PLAN, you learn...

The number one reason you don't have enough time for your art, and enough time for your business, and how to course correct quickly.
How to never not have enough money available for taxes, business expenses, or to pay yourself.
A skill that when done regularly and consistently, will create massive positive growth in your business in record time.

In CREATE, you learn...

The simple rule that will allow you to stop chasing shiny objects and instead find full focus on your work.
A principle that will put an end to people pleasing with your art.
A strategy to go deeper that will put you in a place of service when marketing and selling.
What drives all the art you've made...and how to harness that info in a way that makes showing up feel fun and helpful.

In SHOW AND TELL you learn...

The three basic steps that will take all the guesswork out of what to do next to create collectors.
Clear strategies to implement copy that feels good and helpful to write.
Exercises to build up your marketing muscles
The value of the free offer and the paid offer and when and how to use them.
How to show up in your business in a way that allows collectors to come to you because they can't get enough of your work.

In SELL you learn...

Frequently Asked Questions

When does your next group begin?

The next group begins Jan 2022. To be notified when applications open for the next group, join the waitlist.

How often will we meet?

We meet once a week for 60-90 minutes for 6 months. The weekly calls will be held via zoom, and will be recorded.

In the first 3 months, you'll learn a new concept each week and then have time to ask questions and get coaching. In the second 3 months, you'll be implementing the teaching and bringing your results each week to our calls to ask questions and get help on the process.

How long is the group coaching program?

We will coach for 6 months. The first three months, you'll learn and apply the concepts each week during our calls. The second three months will be for implementing the teaching and getting coached on what comes up and gets in the way of you getting to your 5k.

What if I'm already making more than 5kin90days?

I'm not teaching you the process of making 5k, I'm teaching you the process of making 100k+, just 5k at a time. Right now, you are hustling in your business because you think the sales you do have are a fluke, and they may not be there tomorrow.

I am going to teach you the skill of creating consistent revenue in your business so you can stop worrying so much and stop saying yes to projects that you don't want to do, so you can focus on making the work you want to be making and go help the people who need that art.

Do you really guarantee the results?

Yes. If you don't make 5k during the 6 months we work together, you can request your 5k back. In order to be eligible, there are certain standards you must meet...including attending live at least 20 of the weekly calls, doing all the work in the workbook, and raising your hand for coaching or asking for coaching in the Facebook group at least once per week.

What happens after the 6 months?

After completing 5kin90days, you'll become a Lifetime Member of The Artist Initiative - which includes access to the private Facebook group, and Membership Portal. You'll also become eligible to apply for the 25 Days of Minis every year for life.

What is the 25 Days of Minis?

Each December, the accepted artists in The Artist Initiative come together to show their work. One small work a day each day of December until Christmas. It's a lot of fun, you meet so many new collectors, and you create sizable revenue at the end of the year while applying all the skills and concepts you learned in 5kin90days.
