Most of us creatives suffer in similar ways.
I graduated into the art world 12ish years ago, with 60K in debt from my uni degree, and a disillusioned idea of what it takes to “make it as an artist.”
10 years ago, I walked away from that dream.
Why? Because nobody taught any of us how to actually make money.
I decided that if I wanted to be “successful,” then art would have to take a back seat while I figured out how to “get a real job.”
I spent 10 years learning business, marketing, wine, sales, messaging — and it was only recently I realized that I am, above all else, AN ARTIST.
That intrinsic characteristic of mine wasn’t going anywhere despite my turning a blind eye to it.
Now–I have all of the real-world business and soft skills to actually promote my art.
Now, through my own experience and working with so many creative entrepreneurs, I know that we’re great creatives but not necessarily marketers, salespeople, or systems and operation specialists.
This is really where the idea for FSMO came from.
Don’t ask me how. Don’t ask me why.
As a fine artist, I can’t explain it.
But when it comes to knowing how things operate, my brain lights up a little differently.
When it comes to communicating complex things to thousands of individual personalities, I’m classically trained.
Hospitality management and understanding the fundamentals of copywriting will do that to you.
I obsess over details and how to make things come together.
Flow State Marketing Operations is a hybrid style / done-for-you intensive designed to give you more freedom and flow in your business.
It strikes the perfect balance between doing the hard work for you and empowering you with a system that makes it easy to manage your marketing operations and maintain the 5-star client service you’re known for.
On the other side of FSMO, you’ll not only feel more organized and finally have systems in place to manage clients and sales processes, but you’ll finally feel connected to that part of your business, so you feel more empowered to market yourself as a skilled artist, or whichever way your work evolves.
