I help you get paid to do what you love.

Creatively frustrated?

Watch to find out why this happens…

Does your desk job have you in chains because…bills, family, mortgage?

Do you:

  • wonder if you have what it takes to make a change?

  • feel in your heart that work shouldn’t be a chore, but rather a passion?

  • struggle with believing in yourself and your art?

  • wonder if there is a place for your art, and an audience for it?

  • worry about waking up in 5 years, or 10, stuck in the same place?

There are
3 ways you can
get started right now.
Which one is right for you?

 

Option 1

Work with me 1:1

Do you need a little (loving) kick in the pants to make your ideas real and get paid to do what you love?

Together, through live interactive sessions, tailored exercises, honest discussions and personalized feedback, you'll cultivate a creative and strategic plan for growth. James will replace your harsh inner critic and become your confidant, mentor, and guide.

 

Option 2

LISTEN UP

Do you need some weekly creative encouragement?

The Right Questions is my new podcast designed to help you get paid to do what you love AND stay sane in the process. Think of it as an ongoing class on living a creative life, with weekly podcasts, downloads, exclusive creative challenges, and monthly live video sessions.

 

Option 3

BE INSPIRED

Do you want a little help getting on the path to being paid for doing what you love?

It’s hard for all of us, at times, to stay focused and on fire on the path to our goals. And sometimes we need to remember things like we have all the answers inside of us already. Having reminders around—keepsakes, visual cues, mantras, truth told from a guide and friend—help. They help me—that’s why I made them. And I want you to keep going, too—these pieces will help you do just that.

 

  • "You suggested I should create the work I wanted where I am. I am happy to report that I’m starting a new position that I created heading up an initiative designed to unlock innovation projects for the entire organization. I am getting to focus on the work I really want to be doing and helping others do work that gets them excited too. This is the most excited I’ve been about my career possibly ever. I made the role I wanted. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance."

  • "When I started reading your book I couldn’t breath or blink, nothing felt more important than reading. You give me love and caring but in the form of a slap in the face. You opened a space in my mind that other people tried to close.You have influenced me to become who I wanted to be since I was a kid. I am grateful for that."

    Ana, Brazil

  • "I just wanted to tell you because of everything you do, you gave me the foundation to leave the job I have been too scared to leave for 9 years. I did it! I left! Once I left, all the positive energy came to me and new paths, positions, relationships came my way and I couldn’t be more excited about it."

You can’t afford to waste more time.

What happens if you don’t make a change?

If you wake up a year or 5 or 10 down the road, and you are sitting in the same spot you are now, how will you feel?

The song is inside you. You just need to let it out.

The good news is, it’s easier than you think. All it takes is the first step. One step and you are on the path. And I can show you that you are not alone and how that first step is easier than you think.
