An 8-week Online Workshop with Lisa Sonora Beam, author of The Creative Entrepreneur
Registration is now open!
See details below to secure your spot. Woo hoo!
The thing I’m asked most often is how I am able to make a living as an artist.
I could tell you about Paypal buttons, affiliate programs, social media techniques, pricing your work, marketing your work, branding your work, selling your work.
But the true secret to my success an artist and creative entrepreneur has to do with just one thing:
Creative Practice.
The secret is not in your products, services, packaging, messaging, pricing, and the other details we get hung up on when trying to earn a living from our art.
The secret is in having a Creative Practice.
In this online workshop, I’ll guide you step-by-step in the very Creative Practice I use that has made me financially successful as an artist.
A Creative Practice is the foundation for any type of artistic success, not just financial. But if your finances aren’t there, chances are you are also lacking clarity and forward momentum. If so, perhaps it is time to consider creative practice.

Why have a Creative Practice? Consider this:
Struggling financially as an artist / creative entrepreneur is a symptom, not the cause.
Take a deep breath and read that again.
Struggling financially as an artist / creative entrepreneur is a symptom, not the cause.
Creative Practice gets to the root and the heart of the cause.
Don’t worry. It doesn’t have to take long, or be hard, or too intense.
I was originally trained as a therapist, and have bought a lot (hundreds, thousands?) of therapy hours myself. Long, hard, and expensive. And it never took me to the cause.
That’s how I began to rely on Creative Practice more that 25 years ago. That’s how long I’ve supported myself as an artist.
Creative Practice takes us gently around the symptoms and is a compelling, delightful, energizing exploration.
The cause may not reveal itself directly. We just find that we’re suddenly springing into action and doing a lot of things differently. Like asking for more money. Like building a sustainable business that supports us. Like saying no, thank you, to stuff that doesn’t. All of that builds an entirely new paradigm, rooted in cause.
In fewer words: Creative Practice works.
Are you ready to do Creative Practice?
Yeah!
Here’s the whole scoop:
Logistics:
The course takes place entirely online.
When: June 10, 2013 – July 29, 2013. Lessons delivered by email every Monday for 8 weeks.
By the time August rolls around…you’ll have just the tools you need to take a deep dive into your next creative project, or simply rest and relax into a leisurely creative dream support system over your summer (or winter, if you’re one of my friends in Oz).
Creative + Practice is just the thing to help you deal with stress, overwhelm, and too much of everyone else’s needs.
You’ll discover how to make time and space for what’s most important to you. That’s a huge aspect to doing any type of creative work.
Just imagine how wonderful you’ll feel in this September, with your new creative practice solidly in place, ready to support you in having your best Fall season yet. Are you ready?
I wish I could reach out and hug you, because you’re right here on this page and I’m so excited about the transformation that happens for people in this course.
If you’re on the fence at all, please email me with your questions/concerns. I really mean it. Write! [lisasonora (at) gmail (dot) com]. This is my personal email address, and I read everything sent here myself.
Now, here are the rest of the details:
Every Monday, for 8 weeks, you’ll get a new lesson delivered via email.
- We’ll take this entire 8 weeks to slowly and gently ease into developing your Creative Practice.
- Each lesson builds on the next, giving you a solid foundation for a flourishing Creative Practice you can use for a lifetime.
- Each email includes lessons with prompts and creative challenges for you to use to develop your own Creative Practice.
- Since this is a visual, creative process, you’ll get visuals! Each email will include a link to a video of me broadcasting from my studio. The videos will show Creative Practice techniques and provide you additional ideas and information to ponder.
- I’ll show you what I’m working on and you’ll get to see my Creative Practice in action.
What you need to participate:
- An Internet connection and email account to receive the emails.
- The ability to view videos online in your web browser.
- A blank journal or sketchbook to do the Creative Practice.
- There will be some simple art materials required if you want to try all of the techniques. Budget about $20 for your supplies. You’ll be able to find supplies online or at your local craft shop or office supply.
No prior art or writing experience is required.
Absolute beginners and those who feel they are “not creative” are especially encouraged to attend!
