Meet Dr. Minette Riordan
Time management systems? I've done 'em all - Day Planners, Franklin Covey, post-it notes, Bullet Journals, everything. They all have advantages, but none of them really worked for my creative brain.
Then I figured it out...
Traditional, linear thinking just doesn't work for my creative brain. Once I understood that and brought my artistic tendencies into my business practices I really started to hit my stride.
Now I'm able to schedule my time, to-do lists and Big Things in a fun way that works for me.
My business is going great and I have more time than ever to spend in my studio.
Because I know how to do things in a way that plays to my strengths as a Creative Entrepreneur.
I can show you how to do this too, so that you can enjoy having more time and more money to invest in building your business.
I've been in business for myself for 20 years, spoken on stages large and small, published 3 books so far and worked with hundreds of creatives just like you. I've learned a few things along the journey that I believe are worth sharing so your path can be smoother than mine.
