Artist’s EDGE Membership – Invest in Your Success

Are you looking for success in the Arts and Entertainment Industry?

(the business of music, film and TV, visual arts and writing)
If so – read on:

Are you frustrated by how hard it is to make a satisfying living doing what you truly love? Don’t you wish there was a road map to success?

If you dreamed of being a successful doctor, the steps are clear. The path has been laid out. But in the world of Arts and Entertainment there are no clear steps and the path is secret, hidden, confused and riddled with land mines!

Or at least that’s how it may seem to you!

In the crowded and constantly changing worlds of the Arts and Entertainment industry such as music, film, TV, visual arts and writing, there is no single path to success. Instead, there are many! And your version of success may look very different from someone else’s.

If you do what everyone else is doing, you’ll be one of many small fish in a crowded pond, fighting for what seems to be extremely limited resources. And if your definition of success is different than theirs, your actions may be misguided.

The Mission of Artist’s EDGE is to help you clarify your own personal vision of success and create an effective path to it. A path that suits your personality, values, and lifestyle.

Discover the 3 Key Pieces to Create Success

Artist’s EDGE can help you find or create a new “pond” of your own that’s perfect for you, your talents, preferences, needs, and desires. A pond where you can earn the money you desire doing exactly what you most love to do. Private clients pay thousands of dollars to get the support they need to create a successful life doing the work they are passionate about.

If that level of investment doesn’t feel practical at this time, the
Artist’s EDGE Membership is for YOU

Key #1: Tools

Along the way, you will need to master some important stuff – like time management, marketing, business savvy, and relationship building. And we have just the place for you to develop and improve those areas.

Our monthly Toolbox Teleclasses will help you develop the tools necessary to create and maintain success on your terms.

“I’ve been working the ‘SPECIAL’ steps outlined in the “The Roadmap to Success” call and am having a great time doing it. Inventive, inspiring and creative stuff that’s taking the drudgery out of the business side of this stuff. ‘SPECIAL’ turns out to be a great acronym for creating that road map (read: smart strategy) – one step-at-a-time, in “chewable chunks” that are manageable without sacrificing Big Visions.”
-Jean Synodinos, Musician

These classes by telephone are stuffed with vital information on topics like:

How to survive (and thrive) without selling out or burning out
How to manage your time, and keep all the balls in the air

“I just want to let you know how important Artist’s Edge is to me. I was in a challenging work situation and your Artist’s Edge calls were one of the things that balanced me. I listened to the recordings of your calls in my car on the way to or from work and they really helped to keep me going. I listened to some of them twice!”
-Kate Ruddle, Visual Artist and Sculpture

How to get past your own road blocks, fears and uncertainty
How to build relationships with the contacts that matter, and get real results

“Here are just a few words of gratitude and praise for all that I learned in just the short time we have worked together. I thank you so much the tools of time mapping and setting boundaries. Adopting new methods of self-awareness and empowerment have allowed me to permit myself to succeed. Now I know that I am in charge. My present is suddenly brighter, and the best is just ahead.
-Billy Jumper, DJ at WJFF Radio Catskill

How to manage your money and quit your day job (if that’s what you want)
How to create your career to fit your own vision of success
How to market yourself ethically, effectively and consistently

and so much more.

Whether you participate in these calls live or download the podcast to your computer or mp3 player, they will give you the tools you need to succeed: business tools, operational tools and tools to overcome your inner game challenges.

Key #2: Support

Look, nobody gets there alone. Success is a TEAM Sport! And TEAM stands for “Together Everybody Achieves Miracles!” One of the key components to creating success is having support around you. Most artist’s feel like they’re in this game alone. Including Artist’s EDGE on your TEAM will make a world of difference in how this process feels to you. Participating in the Artist’s EDGE Membership will help you shift from struggling to soaring, from concern to confidence, so that you can begin to enjoy this Journey.

“I downloaded all the calls and listened to them in one long drive. FABULOUS way to re-energize. It really is making interesting differences. I’ve been trying to figure my goals and 5-year plan for the non-music parts of my life, and it is opening up other opportunities that fit many more of my diverse interests together, expanded.”
-Gigi Johnson

The Artist’s EDGE Membership gives you three sources of support on your journey to the life of your dreams.

“Things went great! Everything that I wanted to have happen, happened! I had this thing to do that I was afraid and wary of doing, something that took me way out of my comfort zone. And, I did it, and it worked out great. Now I feel buoyed up to do more. I wholeheartedly recommend participation in the Ask Coach Debra calls!”
-Marji Zintz

Last week I had a gig in Tennessee, and I downloaded a bunch of the recorded calls from the Artist’s EDGE Membership onto my iPod, to listen to while traveling. They are all very valuable. You really opened my eyes to the options. Thanks. I have been feeling a little trapped, but now I am excited, and feel I can do whatever I want. This is a wonderful and inspiring feeling.
- Sue Carney

Key #3: Luck – When Opportunity meets Preparedness

We’ve all heard the stories of how So-and-So got their big break just by being at the right place at the right time. But the truth is that luck is much more dependent on you than you might think.

Thanks for all you’ve shared this year. My Beliefs have gotten a great tune-up…and helped me really step out in 2007. My most recent Aha’s are how I can take things further by really working on my Craft (and how to do so) — my recent recordings have helped focus where I’m being successful and where I need to work on my Art/Craft for 2007. Working with y’all has been a good time investment in 2006 — I appreciate it.
-Gigi Johnson

Opportunities are around you all the time. But unless you are prepared, you will probably not even notice them.

So your job is:

To be prepared,
To take all the actions you see to move you to your goal,
To stay open, so you can recognize the opportunities when they show up,
And to keep building your skills, so you are ready to take advantage of those opportunities.

The Artist’s EDGE Membership is here to train you, support you, and empower you to take advantage of your opportunities and create success on your terms. And to celebrate with you on each step of your journey.

What Comes With Your Membership?

Monthly Toolbox Teleclass – Each month, Certified Business Coach, Debra Russell, will deliver a Master Class to help you develop the skills necessary for you to achieve success on topics such as: Time Management, Organization, Sales and Marketing, Building Your Belief, and much more. While these classes may be open to the public for a fee, as a Member of the Artist’s EDGE Membership, you will never be charged for them. In addition, if there is a topic you would like us to cover, as a member all you have to do is request it! Debra will create a teleclass that covers that topic or refer you to a past teleclass that is available for your download on the Members-Only Web Site.

Thanks to this month’s Artist’s EDGE Membership call, I saw clearly how I stop myself. I procrastinate and then I use that procrastination to beat up on myself, get scattered, overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start.

During the call, I had an epiphany. I need a system to deal with everything. And yet, while I set up that system, that voice in my head was screaming how the schedule would be restrictive and stop my inspiration and my creativity.

But I trusted you and I persisted. And I’m here to tell you, it works. It’s amazing. Instead of having all these responsibilities weighing me down and stopping the flow… everything is done, or has its time/place. I feel lighter, more energized… and tons more inspired. I am just so grateful to Artist’s EDGE for pointing me to the right path with this tool.

Who Should Not Join

If you are looking for someone to take the responsibility of creating your career off your shoulders, this is not the place for you. If you are under the mistaken impression that all you need is an agent, book deal, record deal, manager, or studio who just believes in you and then you can relax and let them take over, this is not the place for you.

Bottom Line, this is your career, your success, your life. We’re here to show you how to make the most of it. But it is up to you to create the dream and build your career. No matter how many agents and managers you have, it will always be your career. And in this world, if you’re not willing to work for it and fight for it – no one else will be either.

Who Should Join

If you are ready to embrace success and have fun while you learn and grow, this is the place for you. If you are ready to take action, to play full-out, and to take risks, we’re ready to teach you what you need to know to create success on your terms.

So, What’s It Cost?

Private clients pay hundreds of dollars each month for the same information you’ll have access to as an Artist’s EDGE Member.

For a limited time, the Artist’s EDGE Membership is available for the low monthly fee of only $27. But wait, if you’re not sure yet, that’s okay – because you can test it out for only $5!

That’s right, you can try the Artist’s EDGE Membership for 10 days, have access to all of the recordings, member discounts and live calls for 10 days for only $5. And you can cancel at any time if you don’t find the Membership to be what you expected.

At the end of the 10 day trial period, unless you cancel, you will be charged the monthly fee of $27. And you’re still free to cancel at any time, if you feel the Artist’s EDGE Membership is no longer serving your needs.

So what are you waiting for?
