**SUMMER SPECIAL**

If you are a musician or creative who:

>> Gets excited by starting new projects...but quickly get bored or distracted and have trouble following through

>> Finds yourself "allergic" to structure and planning

>> Overthinks what to do next and suffer "analysis paralysis”

..Then this is for you :)

I've opened up some spots in my calendar this summer for 60-minute, one-on-one Diagnostic Sessions.

On this session, we'll walk through my One-Page Roadmap Process that lays out the foundation to:

1. SPARK your artistic productivity

2. SUPPORT your professional partnerships

3. SUSTAIN your creative productivity

When you follow this process, you can enjoy:

- Freedom from the anxiety of worrying what to prioritize in a busy performing and teaching schedule

- Freedom to make time for yourself and your family, by building a career that revolves around you…instead of your live revolving around it.

- Freedom to release procrastination, anxiety, or battling with impostor syndrome…

..Because you will leave with a custom game plan that will help you put your creative projects first.

I’m willing to hand you the keys to the entire system I’ve used to accelerate and pivot my creative career as a musician.

When you sign up, here’s what happens:

1. You will first access a diagnostic chart to fill in so I can get the full picture of what you want help with.

2. Once I receive your information, I will audit your approach.

3. We will then meet online to walk through my One-Page Roadmap to give you crystal clear on how to create a new game plan.

4. We'll work together to install the tools to help you immediately start executing the advice I offer you.

5. We will meet again in a group to review your results and make any adjustments as needed.

You'll have additional unlimited support from me for 30 days after our session.

If you want to sneak a peak and jump the line (before I email my list), then comment “summer” and I’ll DM you the details.

Yesterday, I went on a 2-hour hike with my son.

After the busyness of Easter, I was tempted to just hole up downstairs at home, stare at my phone, and enter into full hermit mode.

But I know that spending time with family in nature would restore and refresh me.

So, my son and I set out in the morning with our walking sticks.

We explored Cherry Creek (naming spots along the way with terms like Fork Island or Yellow Flag Lookout), eventually swinging by a coffee shop on the way home to wait out the brief hailstorm that afternoon.

Our outing reminded me of three things:

1. A return requires an investment.

Every time I expend energy—whether with a quick walk or a workout at the gym—I get a return of energy for the rest of my day on that initial effort I put in.

2. Trailblazing is adventurous, but eventually gets old.

My son was excited to go “off-trail,” and it reminded me of my journey as a musician.

I’m grateful for all I’ve learned as I’ve carved out my own path, but with every passing year, I’m looking for proven methods that will shortcut and accelerate my own efforts.

Simple and sustainable is the name of the game.

3. The journey is more fun with companions.

As an introvert, I get recharged by solo time. But with him joining me, I noticed things I would have otherwise missed, and we connected as family after a long work week.

These three lessons are all principles of my Thriving Artist Method that I use with my 1-on-1 coaching clients.

Now, you have a choice to take these principles and try to implement them on your own without the support of others.

Or, if you know you want accountability from a band of other creatives…

Then I'd love for you to consider joining us in The Creative Catalyst community.

In this community, you’ll get the tools I use daily, all distilled into a simple experience that helps you unlock predictable power in 6 weeks or less…

…so you can ultimately elevate your creativity, relationships, spirituality & health—all at the same time–saving you years of guesswork by trying to figure this out by yourself.

I'll keep the doors open for this round until next Monday.
