What would it feel like to end each day feeling secure that you’re making massive progress on your dream project?

What if…

…You simply woke up in the morning excited to get to work. And then you actually got to work? 

…You had the tools you need to face your inner critic and finish your projects without self-sabotage? 

…You could confidently finish and launch that brilliant, paradigm-shifting product or program you’ve been mulling over…

So you can build your dream business, not just your to-do list?

Instead of only ever following through on what other people want you to do…

The Creative Focus Workshop is the only complete, step-by-step course and group coaching program specifically designed to help ambitious creative professionals and business owners like you finish your most meaningful and ambitious work in a truly sustainable way, aligned with all of who you are—no matter what your life looks like. 

  The core reason the Creative Focus Workshop is so effective is that it is built on a unique principle I call the "Flexible Container"—an approach to getting things done that’s characterized by a balance of structure and adaptability that's essential for creative people with full, busy lives.

The CFW brings this principle to life through three interlocking pillars: the comprehensive, access-anytime course content, the personalized coaching and robust peer support, and the vibrant, supportive community.

The course provides the foundation—it offers a clear, step-by-step roadmap for building a sustainable creative practice. But we know that knowledge alone isn't enough. That's where the coaching and community come in.

With regular group coaching sessions where you can receive targeted feedback, you'll get the guidance and accountability you need to stay on track. And with the support and wise insights of your fellow participants, you'll have a built-in cheering squad and sounding board, there to help you celebrate your wins and troubleshoot challenges.

Together, these three pillars help you build your own custom Flexible Container that is both rigorous and forgiving, challenging you to grow while also accommodating the realities of your busy life.

So you can focus on what matters most: making consistent progress on your most meaningful work.

With the primary lessons in the Creative Focus Workshop and the empathetic support of the Autonomous Creative Collective, you’ll have everything you need to get unstuck and truly take control of your creative life. 

But sometimes, you'll face an issue that resists solution. The kind of thing that calls for creative measures! Which is why you’ll love…

I’m utterly confident that you’ll gain traction on your big creative dream projects in the Creative Focus Workshop, but I know you’ve been struggling a long time to put your creative work front and center, where it belongs, and you’ve faced setbacks before. I want to make it as easy as humanly possible for you to say “I am SO IN.”   

Thus the Creative Focus Guarantee.   

Take a full week to start your deep dive into your creative work.   

If after a week you haven’t identified ways to work smarter, felt a jolt of energy in your creative practice, and uncovered layers of useful truths about yourself and your ambitions…  

…Then I’ll absolutely want you to have your money back. You can get a full refund for the CFW, simply by emailing us to ask.

“I'm afraid the real issue is ME. What if I'm just not talented enough?”

I hear this a lot, often from people who suffer under the burden of a conflicting self-image of being “high-achieving” or being told they’re “gifted,” so they feel they can never live up to that standard.

It breaks my heart every time.

This is a real—and tragic—Catch-22. When you're trapped in this belief, you can only know you’re “talented” once you finish and get raving external validation in the form of reviews, sales, awards (and of course, what constitutes enough validation to prove you’re worthy is a rapidly moving target).

…but if you’re not finishing your work, then, by definition, you can't get external validation, which means you’re “not talented,” thus your work doesn’t deserve your time and attention.

It’s like the Puritan doctrine of “predestination” that said people are born saved or damned, and nothing they do on Earth can change that.

The existential anxiety of not knowing whether you were going to Heaven or Hell is what drove the Puritans to be so…Puritan. They were trying to prove to others AND to themselves that they were the good kind, but there was literally no way to know until after they died, thus the moving goalposts, constant anxiety, and fear of failure.

To say I don’t buy that garbage is an understatement.

YOUR CREATIVE WORK IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.

Talent—to the extent it even exists—doesn’t come into it.

"This is a big investment. I don't know if I'm making enough money yet to justify the expense? What should I do?”

First of all, if this investment presents a genuine hardship for you, then this is probably not the right time to join the Creative Focus Workshop. The CFW doesn’t require massive investment of time to be effective, but it does require that you go deep and focus on your creative life…and that kind of space is hard to create when you’re—rightly—focused on feeding your family.

However, if you can actually afford the investment, but it just feels like a crazy indulgence…

(Or maybe getting help feels like failure?)

…Then the real question is probably something more like, “is my work worth the investment?”

Sound familiar? Pretty similar to the first question.

Short answer: YES. You deserve to make your work, and you deserve the help you need to make that happen.

Longer answer: Feeling this way is not your fault. You’ve been hoodwinked into questioning the value of your creativity and your own ideas by messages you’ve heard all your life.

One of the most destructive myths we suffer under is that creative work is only valid if you're paid handsomely for it.

That myth lives rent-free in your head, making you doubt the value of what you do. You hear it from other people, too, dismissing your work like it’s some kind of silly hobby.

But expressing your creativity is more akin to eating and sleeping than it is to working a job.

It’s part of your humanity.

That’s not to say that your work isn’t worth paying for (of course it is!), it’s that the work is a priori valuable—the value exists whether or not any money changes hands.

It exists because it makes life better.

People may pay you for it.

They may not.

Whether or not that happens is simply irrelevant to the questions of:

Do you deserve to make it?

Does it deserve a place in your life, honor, attention?

The answer to those questions is a resounding YES.

“I'm already so busy! How can another program help me get this done if I can barely find the time for it?” 

I get it. Busy is just the default state of a functioning adult at this point, and so much more so if you’re ALSO trying to fit work on ambitious, future-building creative projects into the intense demands of your everyday life.

Of course, you do need to take action to get value out of this program. But the actions you take don’t need to be anywhere near as comprehensive as you fear to have an outsized effect.

Even if you have no luxury of time to devote to this, the course is designed to be finished—completely finished!—in 10 hours.

There's more you can do if you want to go deeper! But you can be finishing work in a completely new way in a matter of hours.  

But here’s the thing: You’re here because your creative projects are intensely important to you, yet you manage to focus on just about everything BUT those projects. They’re simply not getting done.

Turning this situation around will take time and attention.

That’s only an impossible conundrum if you let it be. You know this situation is unsustainable.

I promise on my end to spare you from fluff and reams of useless “information” — which means in turn that every minute you devote to designing and implementing your new creative practice will have an exponential payoff.

So, yes, you’ve got to free up a bit of time in the short term, but I can then help you free up more time—time you can devote to your work—in the long term.

“How is this different from all the other organizers, planners, and productivity schemes I've tried?”

I hear you. You wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t already been concerned with finishing your creative projects, and that means it probably feels like you’ve tried everything (and when nothing seems to work, that you’re a lost cause).

Weirdly, your long journey into night is a GOOD thing. Because it means you’re very familiar with where you hit your biggest stumbling blocks. And if you’re going to build your customized approach, gaining focus and getting your work done, that’s exactly what you need to know.

Your post-CFW method will be different in a key way from every other productivity and time-management “hack” you’ve come across. It will be based specifically on YOU: what your real life contains already, the kind of work you actually do, and the way you work best. Your personal system will jettison unneeded complexity, and support you specifically where you need support.

That one phase where you always fall off the wagon? That is where we’ll get to work, and build a support system that functions for you.

“I’ve been trying to do this for so many years, and I feel like it’s too late for me!”

You’ve been trying for a long time, I know. And things have not been coming together for you. You’re too crazy-busy, too overwhelmed, and when you do manage to scrape together a few minutes, your self-doubt gremlins have a field day, and it’s back to square one.

When they join, Creative Focus Workshop members typically have been trying to work things out for themselves, by themselves, for way too long. We have members as young as in their mid-20s, but most members are 35-65, and we have members in their 70s as well. We are a community of people who have a lot of amazing experience to share, we know the value of living a life full of creativity, and we deeply understand the pain that stems from being creatively stuck. 

Ask yourself, whatever age or stage of your life you’re in: If you don’t take action now to change your baseline paradigm, what will your life look like in a month, a year? 

What’s the upside of waiting?

As the old saying goes: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

Start building a creative practice that is resilient, stable, and productive today.
