Being weird and making money means…
- Getting to dive deep into interests, passions, hobbies and make money doing it.
- Being able to self-express and make a living without harassment.
- Not having to hide who you are in order to make a buck.
- Being able to live a lifestyle YOU want, not the one you were told to want.
- Keeping the hours/schedule you like to keep.
- Making money in fun ways to support your hobbies.
- Not having to listen to people telling you to “Tone it down”.
- Indulging in and profiting from your quirky genius.
- Having a lot more fun than a job-job can provide.
- Choosing a “Life First, Work Second” ® approach.
- Knowing that you have more than one passion, and so you can also have more than one stream of income.
- Knowing that there doesn’t have to be just “The ONE” when it comes to making money. You might have seasonal work that fulfills different interests at different times.
I’ve found that creative people don’t often think in terms of making money with their talent- or if they have, they haven’t yet figured out how to get started or, more importantly, how to GET PAID for doing it. It can feel weird, to think that you could get paid for having fun, what you love doing most, or that which comes easily to you, but I promise- it can happen. As a Changing Course® catalyst, what I help people do is identify different ways to combine their interests and talents to create completely unique, individualized profit centers from which they can earn money. Once we figure out what your specialty (or specialties), I will provide you with the ideas, tools, resources, direction and support you need to turn it into a living.
What I do isn’t for everybody though. This is NOT: a quick-fix fast-money scheme, a silver bullet, or a magic formula profitable income streams need some time and attention if they’re going to be worthwhile.
What I Do:
I will enthusiastically, supportively brainstorm with you all kinds of awesomeness about how to combine your skills and interests into completely unique ways you can earn money
I will help strategize and design a plan of action for you
I will share resources and connections- what you need and where to find it (if I know)
I am happy to encourage you and help you see through and around obstacles
I work with income-producing projects
What I Don’t Do
I do *not* do therapy. I am an idea generating creative supergenius, not a therapist. While I am a compassionate and caring listener with a BA in Contemplative Psychology and Visual Art, if I feel like you need more help than what I can offer I *will* refer you out. I know enough to know when I will not be of service to you. This is not a value judgement on mental health challenges; it is the ethical thing to do.
I am *not* responsible for what you do with the ideas and suggestions we come up. That’s not my work; it’s up to you to bring it to life. I am here to help find the ideas, resources, and brainstorm possible solutions to obstacles. But your success is up to you.
I do not do any sort of tech help. At all. I can barely figure out email.
I do not do long-term work. Three months is the max.
I do not help people find jobs. Jobs are important tools, but I am not in the business of helping folks become employees. There are LOTS of other professionals who can help you with your resumes and job searches.
What I Offer – still interested?
