Dollars have never been so disruptive.

Any asshat can make money.

And money can make anyone an asshat.

Money has never meant more than what it means now – how you make it and what you do with it.

Plenty of people use their dollars to divide. Their version of disruption comes in the form in power grabbing, discrimination, and ego boosting.

But not you and I.

We seek to disrupt, oh yes we do. We seek honorable policies, impactful offers, and leveraging capitalism to disrupt, well, the gross version of capitalism. (We rather like the capitalism that says you can do the thing and love the people and make the money all at the same time.)

You lay in bed and worry that you’ll never figure out your business model. That your mission is unclear. That you’re not pricing properly. That you may actually have to start marketing and selling. Which you might be willing to do, if you could do it without the nausea.

Then, you lay in bed and worry that at the end of that day, once you’ve figured out your business model and pricing, you’ve got your mission in view, and you start marketing and selling, you’ll have a pile of money with nothing meaningful to show for it.

You’ve got a deep longing for magical outcomes.

We do too!

Magical outcomes become reality when we work a strategic combo of three concepts:

Business Savvy
Tenacity
Radical Hospitality

Each of these concepts has a client facing component, an internal business facing component, and a sizable list of action items. (Sorry.)

It’s my team and my job to make sure you’ve got a healthy dose of all of the above.

Option One

Explore Your Options: Book a Quick N’ Dirty Session

Booking an initial one-on-one coaching call with me, Michelle, isn’t necessary, but it’s helpful for those who aren’t quite sure what they need or just want a “touch base.” I like it partly because I wanna e-meet your fabulous face. Mostly because I want to be be sure we achieve the following:

One

Solve some immediate problems so you gain some headway – yep! A real, live business coaching call.

Two

Experience one another so we can see if FcK is the fck-ing right place for you. (Ha! Dirty birdie!)

Three

Determine your next best step – whether that is joining The SpeakEasy Cooperative®, participating in the How to Run Your Voice Biz Without Hating Your Boss Accelerator program, continuing with one on one coaching, or a combo of these things.

This call is over Zoom (tech willing!),
60 minutes (give or take), and is $350. It assumes reasonable follow up to get you where you need to go next.

SECO, as we call it for short, is the premiere not-for-asshats monthly subscription where we hang out and dish about being a business owner in the arts and to folks in the arts, life, pedagogy, performing, and even some voice science! It’s loaded with resources, including business coaching, continuing education, human support, and face-to-face online interaction. An embarrassment of riches.

We are the first of its kind: a mentorship & co-working cooperative created by & for Independent Voice-Related Business Owners, like voice and other music teachers, singer/songwriters, creative coaches, SLPs with private practices, bodyworkers, online business creators, and multi-teacher studio owners. You don’t have to be an indy to join (we love our academic colleagues!). The only requirement is to give a hoot about creating arts businesses that impact the world – whether your world is your neighborhood or the globe.
