I've been there.
In my 12 years of being a self-employed artist, I have learned a lot through trial and error.
It took me a long time to find a balance that made my business fuel my creativity, instead of feeling like it was taking time away from creating.
Now, I'm here to help you realize your goals faster!
10 modules in 10 weeks
Every week, we'll cover a different aspect of your business, starting with the basics and growing from there.
But you don't have to rush; you'll have access to the course for 2 years, so you can take it at your own pace and refer back to lessons whenever you need to.
11 guest artists
Watch in-depth interviews with 11 entrepreneurs in a variety of creative fields.
They tell their stories, give advice, and commiserate about life as a creative entrepreneur.
Weekly live Q&As
Every week, I go live in our community group to answer your questions about that week's module, or any topic that you want to know.
Plus, I personally answer all of your comments in the course and I'm available for personal feedback at any time.
"This course is transformative."
"For many years, I did my best but I knew I was in over my head, and there were many skills I was lacking to take my business to the next level. When I learned of Elizabeth’s Creative Entrepreneurship course I knew it was EXACTLY what I needed to find my missing confidence!
My husband and I were going through our annual review for my business and as we were discussing my expenses this year, I said this course was the most valuable expense of the year.
Thanks to this course, I started my new year with vision, confidence and excitement to see where my new skills can take me!"
