Discover the freedom of running a thriving creative business you love!
-
You're a creative who dreams of building a business that gives you both joy and flexibility to enjoy life.
-
You've taken the leap, started pursuing your creative passions, and even built a portfolio of your work.
-
But you're not seeing the consistent income or client growth you had hoped for, and now you're feeling stuck and overwhelmed with where to go next.
You're frustrated because...
-
You’ve joined online groups, watched YouTube tutorials, and even tried offering your services at a discount — but it’s not clicking.
-
You see other creatives landing their dream clients and wonder, "What am I missing?"
-
You constantly second guess yourself when pricing creative jobs, end up undercharging and feeling resentful.
-
You’re juggling client projects and your day job, while wondering how you can finally turn your creativity into a full-time gig.
-
You feel like you’re putting in the effort, but it’s not translating into the thriving creative business you envisioned.
-
You want to spend time building your own dreams, rather than some corporation's.
Imagine what it would feel like to...
Have the confidence to charge
what you're worth and attract
your dream clients.
Finally quit your draining 9-to-5 and
make a livable income from your art.
Wake up every day
excited to work on projects
that light you up.
All without endless Google searches, feeling lost in the overwhelm, or constantly second-guessing yourself.

Is this program right for me?
This program is a fantastic fit for you if:
-
You are a creative person who is ready to start taking action to make a living from what you love doing.
- You're overwhelmed and not sure where to start, so you're looking for a clear path to follow to see real change.
- You're ready to commit to taking action to build an entrepreneurial business that you can be proud of.
- You've got good creative skills but want to level up your business skills.
- You've already got a creative business but want to refine it to serve you better.
- You are an entrepreneur working towards your first 100k year.
- You are a passionate and ambitious business owner who wants to do meaningful work and make damn good money too 😉
This program isn't the best fit for you if:
-
You're looking for quick-fix solutions and not actually willing to do the work to get to where you want to be.
-
You don't mind making mistakes, spending hours researching on your own, and learning by trial and error.
-
You're not willing to invest time and take action to change your life.
-
You are not interested in getting to know the business side of creativity.
-
You just want to keep working on your creative skills, posting passively and think that the clients will eventually come to you.
-
You think your business isn't worth an investment in time or money.
-
You're scared of change and content with everything staying the same.
Questions?
Email me at hello@alanamccarthy.com and
I'll help you decide if it's right for you!
Maybe you're thinking...
I don't have enough time
If you can scroll on your phone for an hour or watch Netflix at night, you have enough time. You can invest as little as an hour a day to see real progress! Time spent on your business is an amazing investment.
My goal is to speed up this learning process for you so you can see results for your business ASAP.
That means you'll learn the business side of art without all the hours of searching for answers - or 20 years of trial and error like I had to go through.
These resources will save you hundreds of hours, which means you'll have more time to work on fun stuff - like the creative part of your business!
What if it doesn't work for me?
I totally get it! This is such a common fear that holds us back from taking action, and it almost stopped me from quitting my office job and starting my own creative business.
But I'm so glad I pushed through the fear and did it anyway! Now I'm making double what I was earning at that office job, working fewer hours and living a life I had only dreamed of before.
After 20 years in different professional creative positions (in-office, freelance with an agent, freelance on my own), I've figured out the strategies that work best to find, work with, and retain happy clients.
I've also figured out the best way to create work that strategically attracts my ideal clients. I truly believe it will work for you too.
What do you have to lose? We only get one short life. Take that chance, invest in yourself and your amazing future!
I don't have the money
I want you to think about all the work and clients that you've missed out on because you've been off your game.
Maybe you've invested a tonne of time learning your creative skills but have neglected the business side of things - the part that actually earns you an income to sustain that creative work!
It's a vicious cycle. You need to start seeing your business and lifestyle as a worthy investment.
If you really think about it, the longer you wait to take action and change things, the more money you're losing.
Here's what happens when you join:
1. You'll receive an excited email from me welcoming you to the course!
2. You get immediate access to all course materials so that you can get started right away. Yay!!
