Most of us struggle with managing our time. Both your current responsibilities and our future goals and dreams can also be overwhelming. For creative small business owners and artists, this can make fulfilling orders or working on a new line very difficult. 

Whether you are working full-time at another job and creating on your time off or a full-time artist, all of us can get burdened from time to time.

Working with Shelly and Creating Space was a great way for me to get jump started on my projects again. I was so overwhelmed with all the work I created I had a hard time getting started and prioritizing. - Katy Tanis, illustrator

 When you get overwhelmed or stuck creatively many issues could be the root cause.

• Is your creative environment, that special room at home or private artist studio working for you?
• Could you work more efficiently with a more organized space or better systems?
• Do you have enough inspiration in your days?
• Do you need a studio overhaul?
• Are your friends and loved ones getting the attention they desire and deserve?
• Do you need a new way of scheduling your weeks?
• Are you overwhelmed by all your creative ideas?
• Do you often find yourself not finishing projects or getting stuck by the sheer bigness of projects?

Sometimes all you need to get things in order is an outside perspective, someone who is able to look at your unique struggles and suggest a new way managing your work, time and life.

That is why we developed Creating Space. We want to help you break the habits that no longer serve you and create new ones that give you the space and energy to build and run a successful business. Creating Space is a service designed to help you learn how to organize your time and surroundings so you can find balance between your work and the life you want to lead.  

Creating Space will help you:

•  Increase your productivity and confidence
•  Have more time for creativity, family and friends
•  Produce a higher quality of work
•  Find new opportunities and a higher level of success

Plus you’ll gain a new friend who will listen, offer solutions and hold you accountable to all your goals. Amazing right?

Once you sign up for Creating Space you will receive an in-depth questionnaire asking you to reflect on your struggles with balancing your life. This will give us a better sense of how to get you started on a more productive path. If you are in the Bay Area we would love to then set up an initial in person meeting at your studio. If you are outside of our area please contact us directly so we can make arrangements that work for both of us. After that the bulk of the service is a weekly telephone call that will serve as both a check-in and mini-consultation. During the phone coaching we will discuss your fears and concerns and then offer effective exercises for you to develop the skills and discipline you need to bring more productivity and focus into your life. After each phone session you will receive an email summarizing what was discussed, outlining your exercises, and possibly listing some additional reading or resources.

The first month you'll fill out an initial assessment questionnaire and receive one 45 minute in person meeting in addition to the weekly 15 minute phone consultations and email support. The following months we will continue with the weekly phone check-ins.

The initial month of Creating Space with a studio visit and 3 15-minute phone sessions is $200.

Each following month, consisting of 4 15-minute phone sessions is $125.
