Your art can support your life.

Design the Art Business you Want.

Define what you sell and PRICE IT.

Cut the confusion.

Learn to sell with calm and confidence.

You were made for this but the LEAP from where you are now to where you want to be causes you MONEY ANXIETY.

Being an artist means your business won’t always follow usual rules of business, but stressing won't help your art, health, or sales.

The truth is people and businesses are willing to pay more than you think.

And the opportunities for places your art can live are endless.

But if you give up early, you won’t find them.

I want you to stay in it.

And for most of us, that means MAKING ENOUGH MONEY.

Make enough money… stay in it, and you will find those opportunities.

The Art Business PLAN FOR PROFIT isn't just a fancy tool to price your work and hone your offers—it will help you see more possibility.

With your PLAN FOR PROFIT and my tips for serene selling, you'll

  • handle your money better,

  • feel more at ease,

  • gather the courage to show off your art and

SELL MORE ART.

Hi, I’m Emily Ellen: Art Business Coach, + Artist

I developed this system back in 2016 when a family health crisis made it clear I HAD to make sure my event fabrication & design business was profitable.

No more emotional pricing.

No more people pleasing.

It all had to support my employees and family.

I began teaching it to artists, ceramicists, floral designers, stylists, set designers, clothing makers, carpenters, jewelers, painters, muralists- any artisan, maker, or craftsperson.

It works for anyone who makes something and sells it-

Even if the cost of your work means you must account for the extra hard-to-plan-for expenses that come from making something from nothing.

Introducing

the money projection tool and sales training to help you plan your business

profit,

pricing, &

offers.

Who is the Plan for Growth for?

NEW ARTISTS

No, this course is NOT suited for artists who are thinking about developing an art business but who have not started. I see you, though. This program is built for people who have a history of business expenses.

You are in the right place if you are seeking stability, clarity, abundance, or even if just ENOUGH would do.

Together we will get the clarity you need to design your art business and your creative life.

ARTISTS SEEKING STABILITY

YES! This is for artists who are looking for ENOUGH (whatever that is for you) and who have been trying for a year or so.

ARTISTS SEEKING ABUNDANCE

YES! This is for artists who have a footing and would like to plan for abundance, improve selling, or even seek a strategic pause (like a sabbatical, or parenthood).

How it works…

I will guide you through a series of questions to help you fill out your Growth Plan Calculator.

AND SELECT A REVENUE GOAL THAT SUPPORTS YOUR LIFE.

Maybe enough money to feel safer?

Maybe enough to hire a ____.

Maybe enough to quit a job.

Maybe enough to get a studio space, and new equipment to do bigger work.

THEN, EXPLORE VARIOUS PRICING, VOLUME + REVENUE STREAMS .

You will develop your unique set of art offers and price guidelines that will achieve your financial goals.

NEXT, YOU UNCOVER HOW TO TALK ABOUT YOUR ART THAT CONNECTS WITH BUYERS.

You will learn how to get out of your own head so you can be more present.

You will no longer avoid that cringey rush you get when you meet with someone about your art.

FINALLY, YOU WILL GAIN THE MINDSET SKILLS TO STOP BUSINESS SABOTAGING HABITS.

Learn to anticipate obstacles, and have a mental game plan to manage any self-resistance.

And you’ll know what to do about it.

Here’s what’s inside

CLICK ON THE + TO GET A DETAILED OVERVIEW OF EACH SEGMENT

  • This module is the heavy lifting of the program. Identify your money patterns and dream up your next 12 months of money expenses.

  • Here’s the fun part. Explore and expand upon your offers, reinvigorate your prices, and shed some light on your volume. In this module, you find your unique combination of goal metrics that will meet your desires for the year.

  • Cringe no more. Reveal the value your work has to your customer and learn how to sell without being up in your head. You may (dare I say) enjoy selling after today.

  • To grow a business, you will be pushing a boundary.

    That can mean doing things in a different way than you are used to , deprioritizing some things, and giving more attention in areas that you have not built familiarity with.

    Your primal brain may not like this. This segment gives you some tools to gain awareness over your own habits, anticipate obstacles, and have a mental game plan to manage any self-resistance.

    Goodbye procrastination and self-sabotage.
