The Build your Biz Circle for creatives
A 3-month experience for creatives who want to build a business they love within a community that gets them.
Tired of the cliché of the starving artist?
Me too!
It’s time to rewrite the narrative that creative entrepreneurs are either
- A. Destined to struggle and barely scrape by to be able to do what they love
- B. Expected to stuff their creativity into a tiny pocket of time outside of their “real job”
Are you with me?
Then I’d like to invite you to join the Build Your Biz Circle for Creatives!
A community for artists, creative service providers, and hopeful entrepreneurs who are ready to normalize that you can have a vibrant and fulfilling life while making real money from your talents.
What Circle members are saying…
Ariadne K, Biz Circle client
Crystal B, Biz Circle client
Here’s how it works…
We’ll start with a 3-day virtual retreat to deep-dive into the six areas that come together to make a business sustainable, profitable, and fun! You’ll come out of this process with a clear vision and plan for your next steps towards making your dream business a reality!
Then, during our three months together, you’ll take action on these steps within a vibrant, supportive community who are all working towards a similar goal – to build a business that they love around a lifestyle that lights them up!
What’s included…
Vision & Goals
We’ll kick off with an optional 3-day virtual retreat where we’ll spend time exploring what you want to sell, who you want to sell it to, and how this all fits into your vision for your big, juicy life.
Then, you’ll choose a focus to move forward with and we’ll craft a plan with some benchmarks along the way so you can celebrate your wins – big and small!
Implementation
Once you’re clear on what you want, you’ll finally have the support you need to make it happen.
Success doesn’t exist in a vacuum, we all need mentors and peers who are there to not only cheer us on but can also provide meaningful feedback and helpful perspectives.
Imagine what can change for you in three months when you turn insights into action!
Nuts & Bolts in this 3-month cohort…
We’ll kick off with A BONUS group Virtual retreat w/Audra in September!
During this 3-day virtual group retreat* we’ll set you up for success and make sure we both have a clear vision for what you want to accomplish during this time together.
We’ll go deep with the Follow the Fun Framework so you can build your plan for: marketing, offers/products, revenue, impact, schedule, and clients. Over the next three months, we’ll work together on implementing this plan (and adjusting it as needed along the way!)
(*and of course we’ll record all sessions and weekly calls in case you can’t make one or you want to revisit the ideas)
MONDAY
Offers, Schedule, Revenue
We’ll learn how these three pieces work together to form the backbone of your creative business.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a schedule that you love, offers that light you up, and enough money to live life on your terms?
tuesday
Marketing, Clients, Impact
Who you’re marketing to and How you’re positioning your offers are key components to your success.
And, clarity on your “why” is what keeps momentum up when you’re in a building phase in your biz.
Friday
Vision, Goals, & Action Steps
We’ll turn your “aha’s” into an action plan while honoring your values every step of the way.
And, no overwhelm here – we have the next 3 months to work towards these goals in a fun and sustainable way!
Speaking of the next 3 months, we carefully designed this experience so You’ll always have the support you need to grow your business your way!
Group Mastermind calls weekly!
These calls are where the magic happens! We’ll meet weekly* as a group to connect, share, and overcome current obstacles. You’ll have the chance to receive hot seat coaching and have the opportunity to learn from (and potentially support) your peers as they move through similar roadblocks and challenges.
*weeks of Oct 16 and Nov 20 will be implementation weeks
Bonus Group Coaching Session with Cat!
Join us for an exclusive group coaching call with Cat Coq! She’s built a massively successful business as a creative entrepreneur, including art licensing deals with major brands, a huge following as a Skillshare top teacher, being a sought after speaker and event host, and has even recently launched her own course platform!
AND...Let’s talk bonuses!! consider this your buffet of fun extras!
Fun Challenges & Totally Optional Prompts
During the retreat and Mastermind calls, I’ll be listening to your questions intently so that during our time together I can help support you in achieving your goals. Expect some fun pop up challenges and prompts in the group channel. Just like everything in this group, it’s totally optional to participate!
Weekly Goal + Action Item Review
Each week you’ll be prompted to review your goals and set your action items that will get you to your next benchmark. You’ll have a chance to reflect on what is and isn’t working in your business, and see your progress week by week as you take action!
Group Platform
Say goodbye to the days of existing as an island bc you’re now part of a community. When you have a question or need to be seen/heard, pop into our group to share your wins, get help through the tricky questions, and get support from both Audra and the other group members.
+ anything else I decide to add bc I think it would be fun and helpful!
Are you open to transformation?
Coaching client when asked
“What changed for you as a result of working with Audra?”
The thing is, lots of us know what we “should” be doing and even the “how” of doing it, but somehow it hasn’t all come together yet.
(Weird, it’s almost like you’re not a robot who just follows instructions – you’re a human with real worries and desires and relationships that the “steps” don’t always account for 😉)
It’s not that other programs are bad or wrong – it’s just that instructors typically focus on teaching what worked for them and don’t usually have the space to listen to you and help you determine the next best steps for your specific situation. A group experience is fundamentally different than a course.
That’s why I created The Build Your Biz Circle for creatives.
I wanted something different, where I could get to know my clients and show them how to look at business through the lens of our whole lives – not just the “creative” part – because if you’re a creative you probably already get that this isn’t just something we turn off and on when we sit down to make something.
We’re dreamers, we’re visionaries, we’re intrepid interpreters of the world around us, and we need a place to learn the business side of the creative lifestyle with people who get us.
And, we’re capable of running businesses and making money with our creativity.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Biz Circle for Creatives is for entrepreneurs who value building a business that is sustainable and profitable within a supportive community. And Creative can mean many things! This group is perfect for artists and designers, but it’s also an amazing community for anyone else who flexes their creative muscles in their business.
The Boost level is perfect for you! It includes two 1:1 calls lasting up to an hour with Audra AND access to her during normal business hours via DM or Voxer (24 hour response time).
If you don’t want to join a group and just want 1:1 coaching with Audra that’s also an option – book a call with her to talk more.
Probably! Audra works with creative entrepreneurs at all levels – from those just starting out to those making 5+ figures a month, and no matter what level you are at you will benefit from having access to a supportive community of fellow creatives and the curriculum within this Biz Circle.
However, if you’re already generating consistent revenue that covers your expenses and salary and are ready to scale or add team members you might be a better fit for a different program- hop on a call with Audra so she can help you choose.
We’ll do our absolute best to accommodate time zones and choose a generally good day/time as a group before we kick off.
All calls will also be recorded, and you’ll be able to submit questions ahead of time.
If you join and the call times don’t work for you, you’ll be able to cancel your registration with no penalty within 3 days of the call times being announced.
The bonus retreat will be September 18, 19, and 22, from 12 – 2 EST. Taking part in the retreat is not a requirement to participate in the Biz Circle.
These types of courses are great if you’re looking to add a very specific skill set within a short-term container. However, they are very different from a group coaching experience like this one.
In the Build Your Biz Circle we’ll use our Follow the Fun framework to look at your schedule, offers, marketing, clients, revenue, and impact. We focus on building sustainable creative businesses that can include multiple streams of income, and we explore all the ways you can make money as a creative.
We’re also here to support you for the long-term. There’s a reason that this is a 3-month experience, we need time to work through the roadblocks – both internal and external – that often come up in business. I’ve had multiple clients work with me after doing a course because they struggled to implement what was taught and didn’t have business foundations in place to fully benefit from the course material.
Of course! Packages with payment plans are available here.
You can save at least $94 by paying in full, woohoo! Here’s where to go to sign up at the PIF rate!
