Hey there, fellow creators! Are you feeling like your artistic journey, personally and/or professionally, could use a little boost? Consider working with a creative life, career and business coach like me!

Coaching will help you unleash and leverage your creative superpowers while also developing supporting skills and mindset to bring your vision to life.

To clarify the nebulous idea of what coaching is all about (no, it’s not therapy!), here are 10 reasons why every artist, craftsperson and maker might want a coach.

1. Dream Weaving:

Ever feel like your dreams are as tangled as a ball of yarn after a cat's been at it? A coach can help unravel those aspirations and turn them into a beautiful tapestry of achievable long and short-term goals with strength-based steps.

2. Block-Busting Magic:

Feel like you’re facing an insurmountable creative block without a wrecking ball? A coach can be your creative demolition expert, helping you smash through those mental barriers and keep the artistic juices flowing like a leaky faucet.

3. Time-Taming Wizardry:

Ever wished for more hours in a day, or better yet, a time-turner straight out of Hogwarts? While we can't promise magic, a coach can help you manage your time to work smarter, not harder, so you have more time to sprinkle your creative fairy dust.

4. Confidence Booster Shot:

Feeling about as confident as a penguin trying to take flight? With a coach by your side, you'll strut your stuff like a peacock on parade, confident in your talents and decision making; ready to take on the world.

5. Dolla-Dolla Bill Y'all:

Money stuff can be tricky for artists and makers, right? Like, figuring out how to handle cash flow, set prices that don't scare off buyers, and keep those paychecks rolling in. But hey, no worries! A coach has your back with all sorts of tips and tricks to keep your bank account in the green.

6. Marketing Mojo:

Feel like you're shouting into the void, hoping someone hears? Or don’t even know what to say - or where or how to get your business the attention you desire? With a coach, you'll craft marketing strategies so genius, even the Mona Lisa will be jealous of your brand's buzz.

7. Networking Ninja:

Like a spider spinning its web, a coach can help you weave connections in the creative, supply chain and business world, opening doors to collaborations and opportunities you never knew existed.

8. Balance Beam Master:

Juggling creativity and life like a circus performer? A coach can help you find balance, so you're not just walking the tightrope of life, you're dancing across it with style.

9. Accountability Ally:

Ever need a gentle nudge (or a not-so-gentle shove) to get things done? A coach will be your personal cheerleader, making sure you stay on track and reach your goals faster than a cheetah chasing its prey.

10. Career Chameleon:

Ready to spread your creative wings and soar - transitioning to full-time artistry, exploring new mediums, or seeking alternative revenue streams? A coach can be your guide through the jungle of career transitions, helping you navigate the twists and turns with the grace of a gazelle on the move.

So, there you have it! Ten reasons why every artist, craftsperson or maker needs a coach. Whether you're struggling with creative blocks, seeking financial success, or just in need of a friendly face to cheer you on, a coach can be the secret ingredient to taking your artistry to the next level.
