Until the Event starts
CREATORS LACK CLARITY
Here's what that looks like...

The Brute Force Approach
After working with thousands of creators over the last 10 years, I've seen this problem time and time again. When a creator or artist wants to grow their business, they create more art and hire more artists.
While this can work to a point, they quickly reach a limit of time, or resources, or creative energy, which leads to problem 2...

Burnout
The creative life is insanely hard at the start, and many creative entrepreneurs and business owners get a year or two in and ask themselves "does this ever get easier?"
They burn out before they ever get any momentum, often just before things start to click.
But even then, most creative business owners also struggle with...

No Blueprint or Roadmap
You waste so much energy trying to do it all at once - trying to maintain a presence on five different social media platforms, plus email, plus creating new work, oh and don't forget business development and following up with potential customers, and going to conferences, and honing your craft, and saving up for that new essential piece of gear, and reading the next hot book and taking another course that could be the magic pill that makes it all finally work...
IF YOU'RE A:
Creative Business Owner | Video production company | Recording Studio | Podcast Producer | Entrepreneur | Filmmaker | Photography Studio | Design Firm | Agency | or Creative Entrepreneur...
THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU
Learn the framework to help you finally create a resilient, profitable business
It starts with mindset.
You've got to shift from faith to fear, from creator to business owner, from vendor to partner, and to owning equity in your work.
Then you define the outcome.
Once you know where you are and where you're going, you can map out a clear path to get there.
Increase awareness.
Most businesses don't have a product problem. They struggle because no one knows they exist...
Build systems that deliver consistent outcomes for your business, like audience, prospects, leads, customers, and clients.
Finally, ensure you have a driving purpose behind it all that keeps you going for as long as it takes.
Simple, right?
It's ok, we're here to help you through every step of the process...

Here's what you get:
- Breakthroughs for your mindset, goals, planning, audience growth, systems design, and how to expand your impact
- You'll do the work together, led by a creative strategist who builds million-dollar businesses for a living
- Three days to focus on doubling your business and building the systems to free up your time and deliver consistent outcomes
- Opportunities to connect with other creators who can become collaborators, partners, investors, and even new clients
- Clarity on what to do now and what to do next to finally double your business and create the lifestyle you've always wanted
DAY 1
January 29, 2024
You meet your host for the event, get an overview of the work we'll do together over the next three days.
You hear from an inspiring special guest, then dive into identifying your limiting beliefs that are holding you back. You learn how to shift your mindset from fear to faith, and how to become the CEO of your company rather than just an artist/creator.
By the end of the day you'll redefine your core offer to become more profitable and easier to sell, and design your business to deliver the lifestyle you want for you, your family, and your employees and partners.
DAY 2
January 30, 2024
Energized from day 1 and with new outcomes to guide you, we begin to build the four core systems your business needs.
You build out your awareness system that gets the right people to discover your business. You learn how to pull the right people in using different marketing frameworks, and put your content to better use to deliver value and attract the right leads into your business.
You identify the gaps in your customer journey and build stepping stones for your customers to follow all the way to your core offer. You learn how to create more value while earning more profit with each sale. You optimize your sales system and expand your product ecosystem.
For those attending in person, a special Q&A session to dive into the specifics of YOUR business and an opportunity to get 1-on-1 coaching.
DAY 3
January 31, 2024
You're sad to see the event come to an end. You sit next to the new friends you've made, hop into the chat to see how the other creators in your breakout room are feeling, and open your notebook for day 3.
You set up a tracking dashboard for your business and are empowered to analyze your results - what gets measured gets managed. You learn how to get all the outcomes you want for your business - growth and profit, impact, expanded reach, and the joy and fulfillment you've always wanted and have been working so hard for.
None of this is fantasy. During the 2024 Event, you'll be able to spend three days dedicated to building and growing your creative business, and setting yourself up to double your business in 2024 using proven systems and frameworks that you'll implement during the event.
Meet your host for the event:
DAREN SMITH
Film producer, Author, Founder of Craftsman Creative
What can you learn from a film producer, anyway?
Think about what an independent movie is...
It's a brand new business that takes an investment, say $1,000,000, and in six months hires a hundred people (preproduction), starts building the product (production), iterates on the product (editing), and gets it ready for market (distribution).
Successful producers create a valuable product that makes more than what they spent, returns money to the investors, and then heads back out to make the next one with the profits from the first.
The ONLY way you can pull off such an insane outcome with an even more incredible timeline is with systems.
During this 3-day event, you'll learn and implement the core systems that every business needs to grow and become profitable and resilient, and walk away with a framework that you can repeat over and over to double your business again, and again, and again...

JOIN US AT THE 2024 EVENT!
This event is for creative entrepreneurs and business owners who have been working for years and still don't have the results they want in their life and business.
Results like freedom, control, fulfillment, growth, and impact.
Creatives like us get into these industries to pursue a passion, but at some point realize that to keep going you need a resilient, profitable business.
After years of attending events, conferences, workshops, summits, and retreats, I still found myself wishing there was a business conference for creatives, especially those working in film, tv, video, and audio.
So I created one.
Can't wait to see you there!
