Business Consulting

For Creative Entrepreneurs, Artists, Artisans, Craftspeople and Solo Operators

Overview

Jackie B Peterson has been a business owner, CPA, consultant, writer and coach for over 30 years. The principles she outlines in her book, Better, Smarter, Richer: Ten Business Principles for Creative Entrepreneurs have helped hundreds of individuals achieve personal and financial success. Jackie offers phone and in-person consultations for creative entrepreneurs—writers, photographers, designers, artists, etc.—who want to make a living doing the work they love. Traditional business models advise entrepreneurs to hire others to create the original product or service while the entrepreneur focuses on growing the business. Yet a creative entrepreneur wants to remain the the creator of their own product or service. Jackie helps creatives succeed in business without giving up their art or the work they love.

Is Jackie’s Consulting for You?

  • Have you tried many times to make a living from your creative work only to run out of time, energy and money?
  • Have you almost given up and turned your creative love into a hobby and taken a day job to support yourself?
  • Have you been told all your life that you do wonderful work with your art, but you had better get a business degree to “fall back on?”
  • Are you afraid to charge your customers what you are really worth?
  • Does marketing overwhelm you because you do not know what to say or how to find those who will buy your work?
  • Are you doing too many jobs just to get by and have no time left for your creative work?
  • Are you a generalist who has a hard time focusing on one career path because you worry you may be missing work or opportunities elsewhere?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from Jackie’s consulting.
