Shannon Borg Art & Business Coaching

Just 7 years ago,
I decided to get serious about art.
As a creative practice.

As a spiritual journey.

AND as a business.

Like many artists, I just wanted to paint.

I felt woefully inadequate when it came to money, taxes, and promotions. But I wanted to create success with my art.

To create a life focused on creativity, not constant struggle.

So I took classes, learned, and persevered. And I felt like an impostor - big time. I “started to late” and “didn’t have the skills.”

But I started learning about mindset, impostor syndrome, got certified as a life coach, and realized I could do this. I could help others work through the same issues I had.

Clients and artists friends started talking about
wanting more connection
AND 1-on-1 help with goals and skills.

So I’m starting a brand new coaching program:

Art Business Circle

that has both - just for artists.

Are you ready to join us?

If you are:

  • Serious about any of these areas:

    • Your creative process, your art career, teaching courses, creating workshops online, selling your work online and in galleries, getting grants, growing in business - setting audacious goals for yourself in art AND business.

  • READY to learn - and just need a little guidance

  • Want and need accountability

  • CRAVE connection with others who are doing the same thing, for the support of like-minded souls

  • COMMUNITY is the KEY to unlocking your progress!

You are not alone.

I get it.
I’m an artist, too.

I’ve created a new coaching program

just for artists like you.

(drumroll!)

Here’s how it works:

(JUST enough, not TOO much -
to keep you focused on YOUR business
and moving forward)

  • One 1-on-1 coaching session per month (50 minutes) with me - Shannon Borg, artist, certified life coach, creativity and business coach. I’ve worked with more than 100 students and clients over the past 3 years in my business - one-on-one, to help them in the specific ways they need.

  • A private online community BETTER than Facebook (no distractions, no ads, only our group is allowed, built on my financial coach Amy Sangster’s new platform MemberUp - and built precisely for creative entrepreneurs and people who want to have fun while learning and connecting with others in like-minded communities.

  • Group Coaching and Q&A Sessions once a month called Thought Salon, where we shift our mindset, learn new skills, and make new connections

  • Self-paced, fresh content, trainings and Q&A every week to do at your own pace, as much or as little as you want, including:

    • My Signature Training - the 4 Hats of Artists in Business and deep dives into each of the main areas of your business: Creativity, Leadership, Operations, and Promotions

    • Artist’s Media Kit MasterClass, where you write your bio, artist’s statement and press releases

    • Build Your Art Website Course - so you can build or maintain your Squarespace art website

    • More than a dozen more modules from Metaphor Mindset Studio, my main coaching program

    • New trainings as I address your questions.

Your business should be FUN
(otherwise, why not just work for someone else?)

Shannon Borg Art & Business Coaching

For those of you who don’t know me yet:

Hi, I’m Shannon Borg,

I’m an artist and art & business coach.

It is my mission to help artists create businesses
that you LOVE
as much as you love your art

and make money doing it

I will walk you through the process of joining and getting started
step-by-step.

Here’s how
Art Business Circle
looks:

(I set it up myself, so I can add and change things as we go!):

  1. A cool interface with clear navigation

2. Guided Hashtags

to help you get around easily, show your work,
ask questions, get input, celebrate wins

3. Daily “Spark” questions
to get you thinking and engaging with other artists

(no pressure to do them every day -
they’re just always there to get things going.
Below is a random question, but there are Sparks about
art, money, finance, self-leadership, goals, etc.)

I am always adding new modules

  • Pricing Your Work

  • How to Approach Galleries

  • Write Your Bio & Artist Statement

  • Sales Mindset - and more

As I started my art business, I wish I had had a mentor

to lead me through the mindset shifts I needed to make

to see myself as an artist/entrepreneur.

Now, my mission is to do that for other artists.

Let me help you.
