Creative Business Mentoring with Kate

I’m Kate, Here to Help your Creative Business Thrive!

I’ve run my creative business making and selling handmade jewellery for ten years now, and have experienced all the highs and lows, wins and disappointments.

Decisions swirl around your mind about how to spend your limited time, which direction to go, which products to make and deliver and how much to charge. 

How should you structure your time, should you create systems, and how can you juggle everything with your other commitments. Discovering your efforts are not bearing the fruit you hoped for, you wonder why this or that isn’t working, or what to start prioritising on your bottomless to do list.

As we push out of our comfort zone with our creative ambitions we can fill with self doubt, comparison, imposter syndrome, overwhelm, lack of direction or uncertainty.

Small creative business owners like you and me are often sensitive souls, with buckets of courage and a burning passion for our craft. That’s what keeps you going, and I’m guessing that’s why your reading this. You know you can do it! But could it be easier?

When we have the right support and guidance we gain that clarity we need to find our true north and get there with ease.

The world needs you and your creations!

Did you know I’m also a therapist? I bring my compassionate attitude with me so we can work together and make your business thrive, and for you to shine within it!

So You Want a Thriving Creative Business?

Drawing on my experience as a creative business owner for 10 years, and 16 years of experience as a therapist, I can help! 

As a creative business owner we are CEO, marketing executive, PR person, administrator, web designer, product development chief, factory worker, artist, photographer, stylist, lawyer, pricer, accountant and dogsbody, No wonder we feel lost, despondent and overwhelmed.
