The Artrepreneur Awakening

A 4.5-Month Journey of Inner Alchemy to Discover, Align, and Build Your Thriving Online Art Business

Our Trusted Allies: Dream-Makers Who Recognise Us as Craft Wizards

From Leading Artists to Art Startups Worldwide

Do you feel that:

💭 You have big dreams of building a recognisable art brand, but lately, it feels like you’re on a date with self-doubt that just won’t end. It keeps whispering, “Are you sure you’ve got what it takes to turn your art into a thriving business? Maybe it’s safer to stick to painting for your mom.”

🕵️‍♀️ Stuck in a game of hide-and-seek with real collectors, while your audience consists mostly of bots and your cousin’s ex?

🗺️ Wishing you had an art sales treasure map, but it feels like you’ve been handed IKEA instructions without the right tools—endless pieces, no clear map.

🐈 Frustrated by sales that appear as randomly as a cat during your Zoom meeting—one moment they’re there, the next, they’re ghosting you?

🥦 Turning followers into buyers feels like trying to get a toddler to eat broccoli—they look, they scroll, they say “no thanks.”

🚫 Wondering why your website visitors treat your “Buy Now” button like it’s a “Don’t Touch” museum sign?

🤔 Doubting that selling art online is even a thing, or if it’s just a myth created by those elusive “six-figure artists” we all hear about?

🌊 Lost in a sea of marketing advice, drowning in buzzwords like “funnels” and “lead magnets” while you just want a life jacket called “What Actually Works.”

🔥 Balancing your love for creating art with business tasks feels like juggling flaming swords—exciting at first, but now you’re just trying not to get burned.

🎨 Noticing that your Instagram feed looks like an art school reunion, and the only thing missing is someone actually buying something?

💸 Worrying about pricing your art like you’re on an episode of The Price is Right, always guessing but never sure if you’ve gone too high or too low.

From Doubt to Confidence:

The Secret to Thriving as an Artrepreneur:

7 Reasons This Program Is Unlike Anything You’ve Seen

🧠 Micro-Lessons, Maximum Growth

Most online courses have a 20% to 30% completion rate, and it’s no surprise—they’re often overwhelming, filled with long, dry lessons that quickly lose their spark. But we set out to create something truly different: an experience designed for transformation and backed by 25+ hours of research into what makes the best online learning programs (like Mindvalley’s 90% completion rates). The result? Our course has an impressive 83% completion rate, far above the industry average. Here’s why it works:

1. Daily Micro-Learning (10-20 Minutes a Day)

We’ve crafted each lesson to be short and impactful, modelled after the TED Talk format, which caps at 18 minutes for a reason. This is the optimal time for focus and retention, making it easier for you to absorb new ideas without feeling overwhelmed.

2. Effortless Habit Stacking

The easiest way to build a new habit is to attach it to something you’re already doing. Whether it’s your morning coffee, sketching session, or a quiet moment in your studio, our course integrates seamlessly into your routine. It’s about making growth feel natural, not forced.

3. From Learning to Transformation

Most courses stop at teaching; we go further. Learning adds information, but transformation rewires your mindset. We guide you through a process that helps you clear mental clutter, break through limiting beliefs, and see your art business from a new perspective. It’s not just about strategies—it’s about opening up to a new way of thinking.

4. Fast, Fun, and Powered by AI We know your time is valuable, so we’ve streamlined the entire process with AI and ChatGPT, delivering bite-sized, actionable steps. This makes the learning process faster, easier, and more enjoyable. We cut through the noise, turning complex strategies into simple, fun, and digestible steps.

5. Meaningful Practice (30 Minutes of Daily Homework)

To ensure true transformation, we’ve included 30 minutes of focused daily practice. This isn’t just busywork—it’s designed to help you apply what you’ve learned immediately, reinforcing new habits and strategies.

The Result? You’ll make consistent progress in just 20 minutes a day of lessons and 30 minutes of impactful practice, without the overwhelm. Our course turns complex concepts into simple, engaging steps that you can start implementing right away—helping you build a successful online art business with confidence.

🧘‍♀️"Your Course is Healing" - Sharmaine Kwan

🧬 Personalised & Tailored Just For You

🤪 "Fun, And A Bit Addictive" - Jacki Clark

🤩 "Incredibly overwhelming AND incredibly fulfilling" - Thomas Bosket

🧠 "You didn’t just teach me what to do, you showed me the how & why" - Tereza Barnard

Jeff Bezos once said, “I very frequently get the question: ‘What’s going to change in the next 10 years?’ And that is a very interesting question; it’s a very common one. I almost never get the question: ‘What’s not going to change in the next 10 years?’ And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two—because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time.”

This idea is at the heart of our course philosophy. When you enroll in typical courses like “How to Grow Your Art Business on Instagram,” you’re taught what to do right now—strategies that might work today but could be obsolete tomorrow. Social media algorithms change overnight; what worked last year might not work at all this year. Most courses lead you down a narrow path, implying that their approach is the only way forward.

We take a different approach. Instead of giving you a rigid, one-size-fits-all plan, we teach you a framework for thinking—a way to choose your own path based on your unique brand, values, and audience. The strategies might evolve, but the principles of storytelling, building genuine connections, and understanding your audience remain timeless.

So, what won’t change in the next 10 years? The power of storytelling, understanding collector psychology, authentic branding, the mechanics of pricing, crafting irresistible offers, building genuine relationships, mastering persuasive copywriting, and the inner work of overcoming limiting beliefs. These timeless principles form the bedrock of our course, designed to help you develop confidence, align your mindset, and thrive—no matter how the art world evolves.

In short, we don’t just teach you what to do; we show you how to think. When you learn to build your business on principles that don’t change, you gain the flexibility to adapt to any trend, platform, or market shift. It’s about giving you a foundation that will serve you for the next decade and beyond.

So, if you’re looking for quick, trendy tips that might work today but fade tomorrow, this isn’t the course for you. But if you want a framework rooted in timeless principles, designed to help you grow and thrive in any environment, then let’s get started.
