You're too good at what you do to worry about money.

Whether you're trapped by your own success in a career that leaves you dying inside…

Or you’re a professional creative doing work that’s fricking amazing yet barely pays the bills…

IT'S TIME TO TURN YOUR EXCELLENCE INTO INCOME

You're brilliant at what you do—with a depth of expertise and creative vision others only dream of having.

Everyone raves about your work. They tell you how amazing you are. So why are you still struggling while people with half your talent seem to thrive?

You look at people who chose straightforward career paths, and can't help wondering if they did it “right.”

Maybe you've already reinvented yourself so many times you've lost count. Maybe you can't quite believe you're thinking about burning it all down again...

But there's a lot riding on your next steps.

You want to build something that's truly YOURS this time, a business that gets you paid well, easily and consistently.

But you can't afford to get this one wrong.

That push you’re feeling is good news.

Now we get to harness that urgency—and combine it with your deep expertise—to design something specific and tangible:

A clear, compelling service or product that clients actually need and will pay you well for.

Spin your brilliance into gold.

Create consistent, substantial income.

Clear space to breathe, think deeply, and dream up what's next.

No more choosing between creative freedom and paying your bills.

Get the straight-talking guidance you need to turn your best work into a source of pride and prosperity.

Build a business as brilliant as YOU are.

You're a creative. A leader. An innovator.

You've got a vision for how you want to work, how you want to live, and the impact you want to make in the world.

Your vision for your future dangles the promise of the three magic ingredients for rewarding work:

Autonomy

Taking a midday walk because that’s what your brain needs.

Actually being there for dinner with your family instead of sending another “sorry, running late” text.

Mastery

Bringing every iota of your hard-won expertise into play solving problems worthy of your skills.

Doing the work that makes you think “this is what I signed up for.”

Purpose

Creating ripples that turn into the waves that reshape someone's whole world.

And once you taste that, it's not something you can walk away from and just “get a job.”

It's under your skin.

But bringing that vision to life can feel impossible in the face of…

...your kraken-like day job that wraps its sucker-lined limbs around every spare minute

...your free-range clients, heedlessly breaking through the boundaries you thought you'd reinforced with barbed wire

...your kids' orthodontist, your partner's grad school loans, and your ancient HVAC system's death rattle, all hunting in packs like velociraptors testing the fences

...your mental bandwidth stretched thinner than dollar-store plastic wrap

...your to-do list that breeds like rabbits in the dark

The problem: Two simple facts seem to repel each other like magnets with matching polarities:

You do something awesome.

You want to
get paid.

Two simple facts seem to repel each other like magnets with matching polarities:

You make or do something awesome.

You want to get paid.

You've tried to force those two facts to combine. You've done everything expected of you.

You've put up a website, posted on social media. Gone to events and chatted up potential clients. You've tried to keep track of payments, and despaired when they're late. You've taken on crappy clients you knew would be a nightmare and then barely survived.

You've said no to parties and trips and weddings because you can't afford it.

You've worked through family gatherings and vacations.

You've lain awake churning through your options for bringing in some quick cash because rent is due next week.

You've bought the cheap brand of shampoo at the drugstore because you can't justify four extra bucks for the one you actually like.

Here’s the thing:

What you’re doing right now makes sense.

If you keep your well-paying job, you know the mortgage will get paid.

If you keep taking on whatever client work comes your way, you know at least some money is coming in.

If you stick to what's already working (sort of), you won't have to explain to your partner why you're setting fire to your safety net and dancing in the ashes.

It feels safe.

But here's the reality:

Your employer's business could fold.

Your biggest client could ghost you.

Your whole industry could transform overnight.

When your security depends entirely on others, you're actually standing on shakier ground than it may seem.

True security comes from building something that's YOURS.

Something that can adapt and grow, that lets you serve many people in many ways, so no single person or company holds the keys to your future.

Yes, making changes that can affect your income, your security, your family's future is scary.

Those are high stakes. And that's exactly why you need to build a business as brilliant as you are.

Creating a way of working that's truly sustainable, that supports both your bank account and your creative spirit—that's where real freedom lives.

That's where you’ll build a future you can trust. 

Imagine what it could mean for you to have a business you’re proud of — One that is not only creative, ethical, and joyful, but also PROFITABLE.

Bringing in a healthy income is life-changing, not because the number in your bank account hits some arbitrary level, but because that's what will make all the other things easier.

  • Take care of your health. Finally get that dental work done. See a specialist about your neck pain. Buy the organic veggies without checking the price.
  • Take care of your people. Pay off the plumber so your partner can relax. Get your kid those ridiculous sneakers she's been begging for. Hire help for your mom so she can stay in her home.
  • Stand tall professionally. Feel confident with clients and peers. Fire toxic clients and work with people who value you. Know how valuable your work is, and get paid accordingly.
  • Create real time freedom. Spend time on your creative work without guilt. Design your schedule around when you work best.
  • ‎‏‏‎‎Relax into a sense of safety that things are not going to fly apart at the seams if you stop pedaling for a few minutes. 

Not to mention...

  • Quit the soul-sucking jobby-job and design your work schedule around when and how you work best.
  • ‏‏‎Fire your toxic, abusive clients and instead work with amazing people who inspire you to do your best work—and have no problem at all paying for the privilege of working with you.
  • ‏‏‎Hire help that's actually helpful, that moves your business forward and takes the pressure off you to do everything.
  • ‏‏‎Take a freaking VACATION.

It's time to stop being an accidental business owner.

Design your business on purpose.

You deserve much more than simply to escape what's not working. Instead, let’s build your business into something powerful enough to transform your whole relationship with work and creativity.

Creating service or product this grounded in reality and this aligned with who you are is not something you can figure out in the frayed margins of your busy life.

But when you get the help you need to design that offer—which becomes the foundation of a profitable and flexible business—that’s when you can start living the life you have always known was possible.

Choosing your projects.

Setting your schedule.

Doing your best work and getting paid for it.

Here's the truth: You are no longer an apprentice at your craft.

You’re ready to build a business that's as functional and strong as your creative practice deserves.

Now, you can have a business that's worthy of you.

The Autonomous Creative Incubator

The Incubator is the only program designed specifically to help creative business owners build an expeertise-based business designed to safeguard the space to think and create your best work.

So we've turned the usual online-learning model around.

The Incubator is designed to short-circuit perfectionism and procrastination, and deliver results with no fluff.

You don’t have to wade through hours and hours of videos to find what you need.

There's no doorstop-sized textbook of arcane charts and formulas to memorize.

The Incubator is embodied learning.

We are walking the walk.

Your needs and your questions form the foundation of what we implement, so that this program is perfectly suited to get your business off the ground in a matter of weeks.

This is a streamlined, agile program designed to give you everything you need to produce results fast and no more.

"I do now feel like I have the idea of how to run a business."

“I've learned so much from this course. It's been amazing. I knew that I was doing things wrong before, but I didn't know what I was doing wrong, quite. And the networking, marketing side of things, I really didn't know anything about…I do now feel like I have the idea of how to run a business.”

Retts Wood

Copywriter

"I can consistently show up for this business…and do work that I actually feel super passionate about."

“I can see five years into the future now. I can see how I can consistently show up for this business and grow it, and do work that I actually feel super passionate about and excited about, and I haven't had that for a long time.”

Eleanor Chaney

Artists and creativity coach

"The permission to design a business around what I would like my reality to be: That's been huge."

"Designing the business around my reality and the permission to design a business around what I would like my reality to be: That's been huge....There's a structure. These are the moving parts, this is how they work together, and they've gotta work around me. That has been pretty mega."

The Incubator is for mid-career creative professionals with deep expertise who need MORE from their business

The Incubator is built for you if:

You already have a business that's working—sort of.

You’re selling services or products. You’ve found clients. You’ve made real money.

But:

  • Your business isn't profitable enough yet—or the profits aren’t consistent.
  • You keep thinking you'll turn a corner and actually have time to breathe, but it's been like a decade now, and it's just not happening. Meanwhile, the plans that could transform your income and free your time stay stuck on the back burner.
  • You don’t have a clear, strategic niche or offer—so you’re stretched too thin trying to serve everyone, and it’s hard to raise your prices.
  • Your business is growing, but it's going in a direction you’re not sure you actually want.
  • You want to solve your issues by strategically choosing the right focus and building a strong foundation, not by layering on tactics and hacks.
  • You’ve worked with clients but you know you need real operational foundations if you’re going to scale without burning out.
  • You have complex, overlapping commitments and constraints that require a custom approach to building a sustainable business and life.
  • You’re ready to pivot your existing business, but need help choosing the offers and strategies that will actually move the needle—and then building them out so that they're profitable and joyful to deliver.
  • You need systems for managing clients and running your business that match how your creative brain actually works—because conventional business advice leaves you overwhelmed and things falling through the cracks.

And you’re ready for a new approach.

  • You're willing to unpack your relationship with business and money, even if it feels uncomfortable.
  • You’re ready to commit 6–10 hours a week to building something sustainable—not just chasing new tactics.
  • You want strategy and systems that support you—not a heavier workload pretending to be success.

If you’re ready to rebuild your business so that it becomes more sustainable, more profitable, and a better match for your life—the Incubator is made for you.

This program might NOT be a great fit if:

You want results—without doing business differently.

❌ You're just getting started and don’t have professional skills or experience to build on yet. (You may need to get out there and freelance for a while to build your skillset.)

❌ You prefer to work from standard templates and blueprints, not a customized, decision-making-driven approach.

❌ You're looking for a quick fix or “passive” income shortcut rather than building something sustainable.

❌ You're hoping to find a magic shortcut to directly monetizing your creative work, and you're unwilling to explore service-based or strategic models.

❌ You're determined to try to make your current approach work rather than consider new directions.

❌ You're not willing to challenge your beliefs about money and business.

❌ You're not willing to prioritize building your business over other life commitments for the next few months.

❌ You just want someone to tell you exactly what to do, step by step, without having to engage in deeper decision-making.

ENROLL IN THE AUTONOMOUS CREATIVE INCUBATOR

Thinking about a big pivot—or starting something new?

The Incubator can be a good fit if you’re building a new business starting with clear creative expertise. If you...

  • Have a clear vision for the kind of business you want to build, and the expertise to deliver the service, even if you haven’t launched solo yet.
  • Are leaving a day job and need to replace your income with a stable business (and you want to design for more spaciousness, not just replicate your corporate grind).
  • Are considering multiple directions and need support to choose the best path for long-term success.

The Incubator can help you clarify your direction, design your business intentionally, and build the right foundations from day one. We offer clear, data-based decision-making tools that help ensure your next move has a legit, verifiable shot at getting you where you want to go. Just know:

  • When you spend time making big strategic decisions first, it can take a little longer to start working with clients and bringing in income (often an extra month or two).
  • The work you do upfront will pay off for years to come—as long as you're ready to invest in building the right foundations!

This is for you if:

  • âś… You have a clear service-oriented skillset, even if you haven't sold anything independently yet.
  • âś… You’re willing to get scrappy and test real offers even when they're not perfect.
  • âś… You’re committed to building a business designed around your real life for profit, spaciousness, and creativity.

Robust support built for busy people

Here’s how the Incubator is built to address your need for flexibility, personalization, and learning style

Agile, laser-focused live coaching

In group calls and individual 1:1 milestone calls, we can address any questions, issues, and roadblocks you encounter on your journey so that you never stay stuck for long. 

Plus: all calls are in a private podcast feed, so you can review them or catch up on the go, in the kitchen, or in your studio...on your schedule. 

“Every time you coached me, I would have an aha moment.…you would say something and I would be like, oh my god, I didn't realize that was even a solution.”

Avantika Hari Agrawal

 

Critique feedback on all of your work

You know how in online courses you do all this homework but then never get anyone’s eyes on it, so you’re not sure how to improve it or what to do next?

Well, that won’t happen in the Incubator, where you can submit all of your coursework for live feedback.

“It was really valuable getting feedback on specific pieces of work, like a rough draft of a sales page or a first stab at a value proposition. It's really valuable to get some eyes on that work and some feedback on it, especially when you're really uncertain and trying these things out for the first time.”

Samantha Clark

 

Membership in a safe, supportive, small-group setting

Form durable, powerful relationships with other incredible, engaged creative business owners who are struggling just like you are to make a great living, with support for developing accountability groups and partnerships.

Not a “groups person”? This group is unlike any you’ve experienced. The power of the cohort takes even non-joiner skeptic members by surprise. These relationships are literally the number-one most-loved feature of this program. 

“One of the biggest things that happened for me was the community that emerged almost organically with the [peer-led] co-working group that I became a part of. Just having those people show up for each other was so vital and important. Even if I wasn't able to get to anything outside of those co-working hours, I knew I would be able to address the things that I needed to do. I got so many things done, so many difficult things that I could never have done by myself simply by stating that I was going to try it, and then actually try it. That was huge for me.”

Deirdre Colgan Jones

 

A 24-7 online support and feedback forum

Engage in asynchronous conversation and ask questions whenever it makes most sense for you so you can work on your schedule and at your pace. 

This is the promise of the Incubator:

I won't let you get stuck in procrastination and dithering

In TWO DAYS you can design an offer that's designed to bring in cash...

...and you can actually sell your new offer to clients—get paid!—within 30 days.

Sound impossible? It's not.

Here's why:

If you can devote about 8-10 hours a week to your business, you can change your life in a month. The elements of the changes you will need to make are so manageable.

I will be there, with my team, at every step, to make sure you have what you need to build a product or service offer that’s designed to be profitable and easy… and to sell it without sleaze, in full confidence that you’re providing something that will be of genuine value to others.

You could experience the deep sense of relief that comes with a growing bank account and an increasingly empty calendar by mid-November.

You could have a functional, profitable, honest-to-god brilliant business in a matter of months!

“Doing the work has been so much easier than I thought it would be.”

“The real application of this offer has been just so much easier than I thought it would be. That was shocking to me. […] Just doing the work that I had offered was surprisingly satisfying, and just so enriching and really enjoyable.”

Deirdre Colgan Jones

Artist, mother, and coach

"The financial boost has given me peace of mind."

"I signed three clients in my first six months of comics coaching. Best of all, the financial boost has given me the peace of mind to concentrate on my own work."

“By the end of the year, I should be able to pull in enough to run the house on just my money.”

“I was feeling very guilty about not being able to bring in what I felt was really just my market rate. I'm not even asking for a lot. I just wanted to be paid for the skills that I had. And even that was not happening.
Now I'm at a place where I can very easily see that by the end of the year, I should be able to pull in enough to run the house on just my money.”

Avantika Hari-Agrawal

Filmmaker and marketing strategist

From $10,400 last year to $24,000 this year. And the year isn't over yet.

“Last year I booked somewhere around $10,400 in portraits. This year I'm in the $24,000 range. And it's only the end of August, so who knows what the end of the year will bring.
I have a plan for my business now and that sense of... control isn't the right word, because control feels really tight, but a command of this information that I can use to make better choices, use to make better decisions, use to create strategies.”

Sarah Marie Lacy

Artist and portrait painter

From needing help with studio rent to fully funded through the end of the year

“My studio rent will be paid right through the end of this year, which is just mind blowing for me. I have gone from this slightly humiliating position of having to ask my husband, can you put money in my business account because I have to pay my studio rent? To that business account actually having funds coming directly from my clients. That's never been the case for me before, so it feels really good. I'm finally growing up, making a living.”

Deirdre Colgan Jones

Artist, mother, and coach

Hi there. I’m Jessica.

I’M A CARTOONIST/ AUTHOR/ TEACHER/ EDITOR/ ILLUSTRATOR TURNED CREATIVE BUSINESS OWNER. 

I know what it’s like to be doing everything “right,” working insane hours and still not making ends meet.

My own story is why I’m totally committed to my mission to help as many artists, writers, and other creatives take control of their careers as I possibly can.

My comics career—from the outside—looked pretty good.

I received high-five-figure advances and great reviews—and still couldn't make ends meet. I came (late) to the realization that there are accepted paths to building a career as an author that, while they may help you produce books, do not help you make a living.

Those old rules just don't work.

I like to think of myself as competent. Yet the total lack of connection between the massive effort I was investing and the minimal return was driving me crazy.

I needed control over my life and my future.

I needed to support my family.

That's why I pivoted hard to building a business that leverages everything I love about creative work while actually paying my bills.

And that's exactly what I help other creatives do.

I've helped dozens of creative professionals design businesses that actually work—built around how creative minds think and how creative professionals need to live. My clients create sustainable, profitable businesses that honor their creative integrity while bringing in real income.

I want you to have an independent, creative, sustainable business.

I want you to have control of your future.

I want you to stop feeling victimized by your creative life (and stop feeling guilty for feeling that way when so many others would love to do what you do).

I believe that every professional creative needs to equip themself with powerful, effective strategy so that they can build businesses that meet their needs.

Strategy is the key that unlocks powerful decisions that will allow artists to live and work as they choose.

We (the big We—the world) need you to be successful because we need you to have the freedom and support to bring your work to the world for the rest of us to experience!

Creatives face unique challenges 

You need time, space, margin, to think and make your work.

You need freedom and control over your time and attention.

You might even need unusual materials and have an off-beat workspace.

Yours is not a standard-issue business.

Here’s what you need to know: In the Autonomous Creative Incubator, you’ll use leverage and decision-making to accelerate your journey to financial stability. Without all the painful mistakes that other creatives fall into.

  • Stop coddling crappy clients and start working with people who truly appreciate you.
  • Stop piling on hours to somehow feel OK that you’re charging an almost-reasonable amount of money and start designing offers that intentionally enforce your boundaries.
  • Stop launching project after income stream after promo and start focusing on work that has a real shot of hitting your goals.
  • Stop getting frozen in place by fear and indecision and start tapping into an inner well of self-trust that you know what you’re doing.

You got this.

The Incubator pulls back the curtain to reveal all the strategic underpinnings that allow you to design a simple business for success

You’ll master the complete framework of a strong, flexible, functional business that's built around the concerns of creative professionals, and we will help you build it out to your specifications, every step of the way.

You’ll start DOING, instead of just thinking, planning, and dreaming.

You're not an apprentice anymore. You've read enough, studied enough.

It's time for an experience that's not informational, it's transformational.

Other business coaching programs:

  • Are made for people who grow up dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur.
  • Offer cookie-cutter “step-by-step” frameworks that do not take individual circumstances into account.
  • Start with the assumption that you’re in business to make “SIX FIGURES” and not because your work is your mission. (Which is not to say that there’s anything wrong with financial goals! They just aren’t enough.)
  • Teach tactics, but leave out the strategy that would make it possible to determine which tactics are the right ones for you.
  • Hit you with information overload, and you’re still left wondering: “Okay, but how??”

The Autonomous Creative Incubator:

  • Puts your creative focus at the heart of your business.
  • Offers personalized instruction and individual feedback
  • Includes you in a powerful and supportive small group cohort to accompany you on your journey.
  • Starts with your own definition of success (including financial success, but also including your health, relationships, and anything else you value).
  • Incentivizes you to take action with simple, achievable steps that build upon one another and a clear, motivational timeline.

Benefit from the collective power of a coach and a cohort of extraordinary creatives who understand what it means to bridge the art world and the business world

“Your background made me feel like, this is someone who understands both the art world and the business world. And I can come with my specific set of problems and not have to explain all of the backstory of what the art world is like and why your thing, your nice tidy solution, won't work.”

Sarah Marie Lacy

Artist and portrait painter

 

“I had tried to join other groups that ended up being a lot of hobbyists, and then you're kind of like an accidental mentor. So I didn’t really get anything out of it. …Being able to have conversations with other people who are your peers, in terms of their level of expertise and craft—even if they're not in the exact same field—is really important and also hard to find.” 

Stephanie Shafer

Illustrator

 

“As creatives, we don't get to have the conversations that we would like to as frequently as we would like to. People outside the creative world do not have the same problems that we do. They just don't. It's a fact, and it's just nice to be part of a community that relates and understands and is totally going through the same things that you are.”  

Avantika Hari-Agrawal

Filmmaker and marketing strategist

 

“This is the most extraordinary class I have ever been part of. I'm not a joiner. I'm a great teacher. I make other people join. I suck at it when it's me. To be this involved, to have connected with so many people, has just never happened before. Ever. Not college. Not anything after. I was like, why are people always going on about a cohort? Who the f— cares? I get it now.”

Victoria Lansford

Visual artist, educator, and author

 

You deserve a business that's just as brilliant as you are 

And you need a new approach to getting there. You need a strategic plan, you need processes that reinforce your commitment, and you need support and accountability.

In the Incubator:


We know you’re a creator first and foremost.

We know you want a values-driven business designed just for you and that action is the only way to get you there.

And we will help you take those scary, long-delayed steps toward financial security and autonomy in a supportive, nurturing environment, where learning and implementation go hand-in-hand.

There is no better time than now to build a real business that can make more money for you so you can stop courting burnout

I know: you’re busy and overwhelmed and don’t have a spare neuron to think about “strategy” or launch something new.

I know.

That’s literally the definition of the perfect person to join this program: The creative at the end of their rope, frustrated, sick and tired, conflicted.

That creeping worry that you’re becoming bitter…

Yeah. I made this for YOU.

As I talked to other amazing creatives like you to develop the concept for the Incubator, what came up over and over was a sense of...shame.

Shame that the money wasn’t flowing the way they had been taught to expect.

Shame that they spend so much time on the work for so little.

Shame that the inside of their business feels like such a hot mess, and seriously? Don’t most people get this sorted by like, 25??

I have felt that too!

And I HATE that we’re made to feel shame over trying so hard to implement the system for making a living that we’re told is the One True Way, but is in fact BUILT TO FAIL.

There is NOTHING to be ashamed of! You are f***ing INCREDIBLE. You have gotten this far by dint of sheer effort, grit, and scrappy determination!

But.

Every system is perfectly engineered to produce the results it’s currently getting.

(So the inconsistent and insufficient revenue your creative work brings in? Yeah, as long as you continue doing the same things, your business is perfectly engineered to continue producing those same results.)

From mental block around selling to seeing selling an offer as a service

“I had this huge mental block about selling and sales in general. I've never sold the artwork that I've made because I feel so uncomfortable with that idea. The idea that I could develop my offer as a service that was an activity, that was an action, that was a relationship, that was communication based, was really great for me.”

“I really hoped I was going to be able to earn back the money that I'd spent and I'm glad to say I have.” 

“I really hoped I was going to be able to earn back the money that I'd spent and I'm glad to say I have. It is really satisfying to be able to help people find a creative path forward. I'm really enjoying the work that I'm doing. I get some really interesting clients. They're just amazing. It's like having all the good bits of teaching and none of the bad bits.”

Samantha Clark

Visual artist, author, and coach

From embarrassed to call prospective clients to “I will ask anyone.”

“I would avoid calling people I knew who worked at magazines, because I was embarrassed to. I'd rather call a stranger than someone I knew. Doing this course has completely destroyed that illusion. 

And now I'm just like, I will ask anyone. I don't care. Even if they think my, “God, she's a complete idiot, as if I'd give her work.” Who cares? It doesn't matter. That's been amazing, one of the many internal changes that have come from the course.”

You have a choice:

You can keep doing what you’ve been doing.

Keep selling low-cost offers that aren’t worth the effort it takes to make them.

Keep waiting for a magical gatekeeper to lift you and your work out of obscurity.

Keep trying to do more, make more, work more, only to remain overworked and underpaid.

Keep turning down vacations, trips with friends, or panicking whenever an unexpected bill lands on your kitchen table.

Keep doing nothing, despair that you’re destined to be a starving artist.

Or you can choose to act, to be intentional with your life and business.
