Creative Business Mentoring

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 products to make and deliver, how much to charge. and how to juggle everything on your bottomless to do list with your other commitments. Discovering your efforts are not bearing the fruit you hoped for can feel frustrating.

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 you’re reading this. You know you can do it!

**Mentoring with Me**

I offer you all my experience, knowledge and advice if needed, plus tools to navigate through practical elements like pricing, branding, time management, product development, audience growth, SEO, and web building. Maybe you need a pep talk, support and encouragement which I have buckets of for your creative business.
Mentoring saves you time and money.

Whether you are at the start of your journey, a little way in, or a veteran in need of refreshment, change, somewhere to bounce ideas or troubleshooting, let’s take a closer look under the bonnet. You don’t have to do it on your own.
