“Wow. Thank you. You have finally put it all in perspective. I understand how to make my unique voice heard. And even more importantly you have dug down and brought out my core. I see the power and goodness of where my heart is telling me to go. I see honesty and courage coming together to make something better than what society is comfortable with. I see that there are going to be people who don’t understand, but for others I know they have been waiting for this- just like me. I can finally stop waiting and dive into a new blue sea.
You are making the world better for artists and everyone that is seeking a fulfilling and loving life.
Thank you for being so generous with your time.
It was a sacred experience.”

If you are an artist and feel a pull to be making a living doing what you love by your art, TAKE THIS CLASS. No, seriously sign up, and TAKE THIS CLASS. NOW.”

“Thank you for putting together the Artist As Brand Workshop. It was inspiring and informative.”
_______________________________________________
“The workshop energized me and propelled me forward. I have more focus and positive energy now than I had in the last 7 years!
I can’t express to you how excited I was to find out that this workshop wasn’t a course on how to make a living being a graphic designer/artist for someone else. The whole class was about empowerment of the individual and their artistic purpose. There was a focus on the integrity of an artist’s vision, which has been lacking in almost all of the jobs I’ve taken on the last few years. It’s incredible how damaging years of that can be…it didn’t even occur to me that I HAD a core purpose, until this class.”
_______________________________________________
“The class was intriguing. It gave me some significant ideas on ways to broaden my scope.”
_______________________________________________
“The workshop was great! It was extremely inspirational… and gave me so many ideas and options to advance artistic opportunities. The whole experience was much more than I had anticipated. This workshop is definitely something that I would recommend to anyone who is aspiring to build their own career! Greg is an excellent instructor with an immense amount of positive energy!”
_______________________________________________
“As a college student I was worried that I would have to go into industry in order to make any money. This workshop has shown me you can make income from your own art empire doing what you love.”
_______________________________________________
“It did more than fulfill… it changed my life! I made immediate changes as soon as the seminar was over. I am now working on my “first year” of accomplishing my art empire based on my “Core Virtue”
_______________________________________________
“My overall experience was life changing. I am going for what I want in life. I’m getting my mind, body, and soul together and failure is a foreign word now.

“I thought the workshop was very well put together. It made for an exhausting but very informational weekend. I would definitely recommend it to other artists seeking to start their own freelance art business.”
_______________________________________________
“The workshop really gave me a kick to get started with what I thought I should have been doing all along! I just didn’t know how far I was supposed to push it! I have a much clearer vision of what I want to do and have already started re-branding myself to better fit what I want to create.”

_______________________________________________
“Because of Greg’s workshop, I finally understand why I am an artist.”
_______________________________________________
“My overall experience and feeling is the through-ness of this course worked well, in fact it was excellent. Though it covered the bulk of three days, you completely filled it, and made it varied, which also kept our interest. As a freelance artist for 20 years, I am very pleased with the art business presentation that you did, and still coasting on the inspiration.”
_______________________________________________
“The workshop was more introspective than I anticipated but I found that to be very useful. Beginning at the most basic level of who I see myself has helped to define not only what my niche markets can be but also the type of work I should be creating. I only wish I had taken this class sooner. These tips and techniques are beneficial regardless of career level or how much some of us had already accomplished.”
_______________________________________________
“Discovering my core virtue has increased my confidence level, and the workshop in general helped me to think of myself as an entrepreneur. I really felt Greg’s sincerity in sharing his experience and information, as well as his commitment to every participant so he or she received the most value from the workshop. He gives 110% of himself.”

“The techniques taught in the seminar pretty much put the pieces of the puzzle together. I’m more clear & organized on what I’m looking for & need to do. I’m getting back on my creative track!”

Having a vision board and a statement that sums up what an artist is all about is very empowering. The material was interesting and valuable. There was variety in the presentation with good supporting material. I have already recommended this workshop!”

“Attending the Artist As Brand workshop was amazing. I’m exhausted! (in a good way)—
The price of the workshop was worth every penny.
_______________________________________________
“Thank You Greg!! For planting seeds in my mind for what is possible in developing an art business.”
_______________________________________________
“I learned that staying true to myself will help me express what is important.
Before learning my core virtue I was living life as is, but I had a deep anger around the persecution of my racial heritage in China. I did not know how to express those feelings. When I voiced my core virtue it really helped lift this burden.”
_______________________________________________
“Clarity and direction have been issues for me… The workshop helped me take my broad ideas and narrow them down to manageable starting points.”
_______________________________________________
“I used to think about what to focus on more in terms of, “What sells?” Not, “What do I personally like doing?” I kept feeling pushed towards things I don’t like to do because I thought I had to do them to be successful. Let’s face it, making money but being miserable isn’t success.”
_______________________________________________
“Artist as Brand workshop has triggered more creative marketing ideas for me than any other. Greg is just the right energy boost –full of inspiration and motivation.”
_______________________________________________
“One of the most important facets of the class was learning how to break down all the barriers that most artists face in pursuing a career as an artist. It inspired me to become more versatile…
It’s just going to be a matter of getting myself more organized and more enthusiastic about becoming my own art empire. I like the sound of that.”
