Business Coaching for Creative Entrepreneurs
Bridging Art & Commerce: Strategic Business Coaching for Artists
As an MBA-credentialed business strategist and Certified Financial Planner with deep expertise in the art world, I offer a unique approach to creative business coaching that honors both your artistic vision and your financial goals.
The Artful Business Method™
Most business coaches understand profit margins but not the creative process. Most art mentors understand technique but not sustainable business models. I bridge this gap by combining:
-
Strategic Business Planning with creative flexibility
-
Financial Literacy tailored to irregular artistic income
-
Market Positioning that preserves artistic integrity
-
Systems Development that enhances rather than stifles creativity
What Makes This Different
Dual Expertise Advantage:
-
MBA-level strategic thinking applied to creative ventures
-
CFP-certified financial planning for artists’ unique challenges
-
Real-world experience in both corporate and creative environments
-
Understanding of art market dynamics and collector psychology
Holistic Approach: Unlike traditional business coaching that may push artists toward purely commercial decisions, or art instruction that ignores business realities, this coaching integrates both worlds seamlessly.
