Dear Fellow Moms, Aspiring Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Leaders, Artists, Writers, Musicians, Career Professionals:

These economic times have many people scared. There’s no doubt about it. Who knows what tomorrow holds, or the year after that? And what about our children and grandchildren? What kind of life are they going to lead? After all, we’ve left them deep in debt!

So what is your plan to get through these times? To hide all you have a in a “safe” investment until this economic storm blows over? To hope that your job or your husband’s job will get you through?

But then there’s the big ifs out there that lie in wait, like a monster hiding under a child’s bed, ready to scare at any moment. But unlike children’s fears, these monsters can strike suddenly and leave a path of devastation...

Your spouse is hurt and can’t work anymore...he receives a layoff  notice...the stock market crashes, decimating your retirement income...your husband suddenly wants a divorce...or God forbid your husband dies!

Yes, I know, the above paragraph is really scary. The above scenarios are not fantasies, they are real life examples of what many people are going through at this time.

The trust is we live in a new era, an era where the almighty job only leads to being broke and unprepared for the hardships that lie ahead.

I could add our own personal dilemmas we have faced in the last few years--foreclosure of a rental property, mounting debt, my husband’s hours cut back, my husband’s paychecks being delayed...

But through it all, I determined to turn the negative into something positive. I wanted to build a business that would bring us the economic freedom we needed to not only survive in this economy, but to thrive in this economy! And most of all, I wanted to find a way to help others in similar or worse situations than ours.

So, recognizing the power of the Internet, I turned my knowledge in graphic design and publishing into a course that could help aspiring entrepreneurs, stay at home moms, high school and college students, homeschooling families, artists, writers, musicians, and ministry leaders. This course would teach the fundamentals of launching a business or ministry in a smart, effective way that would mean less frustration, less time, less money, and MORE profits!

Because as a graphic designer, I see many new business owners decide to join a business only to experience disappointment because their passions and skills do not match up with what they are attempting to sell. In fact, I’ve observed that many home business owners join direct selling companies or network marketing companies out of a knee-jerk reaction with little thought to marketing objectives, brand strategy, or target audience. I realized many people, especially women and students, have no strong sense of calling, put little into thinking about goal-setting, and just drift from day to day, completely at the whim of external forces, like a ticking time bomb ready to blow up at any moment.

That is what happens when a family or individual relies on one paycheck. It happened to us. So we are making a way for my husband to quit his job and work for himself.

But the dream starts one little step at a time, including establishing my business, AngelArts. And one of those first steps was creating an in-depth course on branding and marketing to help new business owners, struggling business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs...

Basically, anyone who lives and breathes needs to learn the secret behind marketing themselves!  Think about it.. the successful people in life are that way not because they are necessarily the best at what they do, but because they found a way to consistently get the word out about themselves and their talents.

Now in this Internet age, opportunities abound for aspiring entrepreneurs. The field is wide open for writers, musicians, and artists. Ministry leaders have realized that the Internet helps spread their message more effectively and for less money. High school students and college students will have to know and apply the new media to their career journey. Stay at home moms and homeschooling families are more and more realizing the power of the Internet to give them choices. Yes, it is now possible to work at home AND be with your children!

But sooner or later as you seek to build a business or ministry, you will realize you need a logo. You need an image that represents who you are and what you do. But unfortunately, very few small business owners, job seekers, ministry leaders, or artists put much thought into this. While corporations spend tens of thousands of dollars on brand identity, the home business owner glosses over this need because in their minds it is too expensive and takes too much effort.

So they turn to cheap and free options, like VistaPrint.

It may get the job done as far as getting your name out for your business, organization, or artistic pursuit, but how effective is it?

Unfortunately, hiring a graphic designer is extremely expensive and where do you start anyway to find a brand identity that will get you noticed and improve your bottom line? How do you find, develop, and produce a brand that sizzles?

As a graphic artist, I’ll let you in on a little secret…

If your brand is cheap, your image will be cheapened in the eyes of your customers!

The truth is, if your business is not important to you, this will be reflected in your image. And ultimately, your sales.

You know how a plethora of companies offer cheap logos, free business cards, and expert brand marketing advice for little or no cost.

Well here’s what I do that’s different…

I offer a step by step easy to understand 3-month tutorial series with weekly lessons that will help you discover your own unique brand identity. This is a process designed to help you achieve maximum success in building your brand.

Because when you have an effective brand image, you will be set above the competition. This will result in increased leads, sales, conversions, and PROFITS!

Why me? As a graphic designer for over 17 years, I have learned how to create brands designed around my clients’ unique selling proposition (USP), not what’s cheap, free, easy, pretty, cool, or convenient.

I know inside and out the tricks of the trade that gets a brand noticed, from concept to production. More importantly, I know the key questions to ask when looking for a new brand that will get my clients or project noticed and therefore increase their bottom lines. I know how to make a brand that sizzles.

In short, I help potential businesses, organizational leaders, and artists, go on a

Starting a new business or organization is overwhelming and getting your art out there is scary. And making graphics? Where do you even start?

I remember thinking that when I was first learning about graphic design, clear back to high school. I knew nothing then. But over the years, I absorbed, practiced, and excelled in logo design and now I’m sharing those lessons learned and applied with you!

I excelled in logo design and branding because I combined creativity with marketing knowledge, technical production knowledge, and most of all my passion for helping people find their unique destiny in life. In other words, helping businesses, organizations, and artists to find a Unique Selling Proposition that gets them noticed!

And my clients got noticed because I know about the power of colors and what they communicate. I know how to get the best quality artwork for their graphics. I know how to turn a word into a picture and translate that into a logo and ultimately a brand.

And I will be sharing all this knowledge with you in my

My knowledge has saved me (and companies), much frustration. Having a thorough understanding of the project’s goals combined with a natural artistic sense for color, composition, and aesthetic pleasure plus a superb technical knowledge has resulted in excellent products and brands done right the first time and resulted in brands that get noticed. Brands that sizzle.
