Now ask yourself this question . . . Are you LIVING this stereotype? If so then read on . . .
Miata Edoga, Founder & President – Abundance, Bound, Inc.
Are you an actor, artist or other creative professional who . . .
WE CAN HELP YOU BREAK OUT OF THAT CYCLE, change the way you relate to money (forever), and have a lot of fun in the process. It is also MUCH EASIER than you think. Here is the problem most of us are stuck with: It is easy as artists to try to ignore our current financial concerns, believing that if we just hold out long enough, we will eventually get that "big break" that will put an end to all of our money problems. Unfortunately, financial struggle can really drain us both physically and psychologically, leaving us with little time to spend pursuing the things that matter most. Also, many artists struggle to find jobs where they can pay their bills, and still maintain the freedom necessary to pursue their artistic careers. Why? Because we lack the support and entrepreneurial education to develop income sources that will allow us to control our own schedules AND earn a nice income. (Money and time need to come together; one without the other really doesn't work!) When I ask fellow artists why our financial pictures always seem to stay the same or even get worse, they say that learning about money and business just seems totally overwhelming and they don't know where to start. THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN. A lot of you have probably been to workshops and seminars that you left feeling pumped up, but with no idea how to proceed (I know that was true for me). In the meantime, you just ignore your financial trouble (and those credit card bills) and hope they will disappear. (Sound familiar? You're not the only one!) The reason is this: KNOWLEDGE ISN'T POWER!!! Knowledge is merely potential power. It's ACTION that is power—action based on knowledge. Your Boot Camp Coach will demand the rigorous accountability that will ensure you take the action necessary to succeed. You will be able to tap into the power of a group of like-minded artists, all striving to create financial independence. We'll use some of our time together to get some serious brainstorming and feedback on potential sources of income, business ideas, possible investments, etc. BUT BEFORE WE CONTINUE . . . I must warn you that changing your financial picture takes work, and we expect a lot from the people we coach (which is part of the reason we get the results we do). There is no "quick fix" for making money: anything you do will require concentrated effort and commitment (which I define as doing the thing you said you would do, long after the feeling in which you said it has left you). However, the rewards are truly well worth the price! And here's the thing: I know the proven systems and strategies that, when properly learned, followed and implemented, will bring you the time freedom and financial stability you've always wanted (and more). I know this because . . . I USED TO BE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. As an actor, I have faced the same challenges as countless artists. In spite of occasional successes with roles on stage, in films and on television, I wasn't consistently earning enough money to support myself. I tried numerous different jobs: I was a temp, I waited tables, I bartended, I tutored, I was a receptionist, a legal assistant, I worked at Starbucks (I could go on). Basically, while trying to balance the need to pay my bills with the freedom and flexibility I needed for auditions, I wasted a whole lot of time in dead end jobs that kept me broke, miserable and, ironically, too busy to really pursue my acting goals. Additionally, as much as I tried to fight it, I was going into every audition with an energy that I NEEDED to get the job. Not so much for the creative fulfillment, but for the paycheck! This "quiet desperation" undoubtedly affected my performances and I am sure kept me from booking roles. One day I reached a breaking point—there had to be a solution to my situation. I certainly wasn't willing to give up my acting career. But I also wasn't willing to stay broke while I went after my dream. So I set out to learn everything there was to learn about making AND keeping money, and developing as an entrepreneur. I took every course I could afford, read every book I could get my hands on; I searched the Internet and went to see numerous speakers. One of the first things I learned is that there are four categories that people fall in to:
I made the decision that I could and would learn how to get myself into this fourth category. I started putting myself in any environment that included people who were doing better financially than I was. I realized that I needed to work on my mindset. I had to look at the thought patterns that kept me believing I had to be a "starving artist" to really call myself an actor. I met individuals who were extremely successful in the entertainment industry—executive producers, directors, writers and casting directors—who had also created alternative income sources. What struck me about these people was that they weren't worried that being successful in other areas would make them any less of a success at their true passion. They understand the power of multiple streams of income and the freedom that gave them. I was very fortunate to be introduced to remarkable mentors and teachers who helped me realize that the only guarantee of having the acting career I wanted was by creating it myself, and I would never be able to do that coming from a place of financial stress and insecurity. I began learning basic financial skills that helped me to create a solid foundation so that I could begin to actually build towards financial freedom. I learned how to pursue Prosperity and my Passion! Since starting my education and getting into action, I have been able to start two cash generating businesses, create consistent passive income, reduce the amount I am paying in taxes and begin investing in real estate. More importantly, as a direct result of all of this, I am in control of my own life, which I know makes me a much better actor. I have the time and energy for acting classes and auditions. I am not desperately waiting for other people to give me opportunities. My husband and I were able to start our own production company, Amina Productions, Inc., and are in the process of producing our first feature film. (Click here to see our film trailer). You have to ask yourself, what's the point of having creative dreams if you are always too tired and broke to really go after them? I'm sure you want more time and money to focus on the things that you love, be that acting, directing, writing, or just hanging out with family and friends. The question comes down to: ARE YOU WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES? If your answer is "yes," then you are ready for . . . The Artists' Prosperity Boot Camp Intensive Over the last several years, I have spent considerable time (and money) learning, researching and applying the techniques necessary to break out of a negative financial cycle. The Boot Camp Intensive is something that I created to share those same techniques with anyone who wants to learn them, irrespective of age, talent or location. You can learn to get on top of your finances (and even build wealth) while pursuing your artistic goals and dreams, without breaking the bank. To achieve the goal of making this information accessible to anyone, I created a step-by-step program that would give artists all of the information they needed, at a really affordable price. This program is a 10-session supportive and encouraging "telephone classroom," where, together with a highly-trained Abundance Bound coach, you will cover all 9 steps of the Artists' Prosperity System™ as a group, to help you shift from being a "starving artist" to a money magnet! For some of you, this will be your first time participating in a class taught by phone. Tele-seminars have become the ideal way for the busy person to learn valuable information, and share ideas with fellow classmates, all from the comfort of your home or any other convenient location.
The Boot Camp is a way for you to dramatically increase your results, by condensing years of seminars, books, tapes and coaching into a 10-week crash course on the Artists' Prosperity System™. This will give you a quick start towards time freedom and financial security. Here's what you get:
Every week for 10 weeks, you'll meet with your coach and up to 9 other motivated peers looking to grow financially and build their “money muscles.” Via phone, you'll spend 90 minutes per week going in depth into one step of the Artists’ Prosperity System™. You will also get assignments and worksheets to complete, so we’ll be able to review your progress, keep you moving forward, give you next-steps to tackle and adjust your plans, as necessary. We will be coaching you through the exact steps you will need to succeed. You can also ask questions and get advice. That’s 15 hours of valuable financial coaching time. (A $2,000 Value)
Everyone will be assigned an accountability partner from among the other participants of the Boot Camp. We recommend that you spend at least an hour a week on the phone or in person with your “buddy,” setting goals, comparing progress, and helping each other move forward together. For many people, having a partner is one of the best things about the program, as it means you are able to bounce ideas off a like-minded individual as you work on your assignments through the week. (A $600 Value)
In addition to the interactive portions of the program listed above, everyone in the Boot Camp will have the ability to brainstorm and correspond with the group via a collaborative online forum. You are encouraged to send your completed assignments to the whole class, as ideas flourish in a supportive community. You’ll also find the camaraderie and encouragement very rewarding! (A $450 Value)
Before the start of the Boot Camp, you’ll receive the entire Artists’ Prosperity Boot Camp Intensive workbook, including all the worksheets we’ll be discussing during the 10-week class. You are encouraged to start reading and get familiar with what we’ll be covering during the 10 weeks. Also included are weekly progress reports to keep track of your progress, and improve the efficiency of our time together. (A $75 Value)
Occasionally through the 10-week course, events will conspire against us, and prevent you from attending a particular class. While we obviously encourage you to attend every session, we also make all the classes available online for you to listen to and download, usually within 24 hours of the class finishing. This way, you will never miss any information. (It also gives you access to the material as often as you like.) (A $695 Value)
Each week of the Boot Camp you will receive a schedule of open Q&A sessions, during which you have the ability to call and ask about anything you want in regard to your business ideas and finances (or anything else regarding financial education you would like to discuss). Sometimes the thing we need most is someone to kick ideas around with: that is what these sessions are designed for. As we will be answering a variety of questions, it is a great opportunity to hear what other Boot Camp participants are up to in their financial AND creative lives, and allows you to continue building your support community. (A $1,250 Value) Why You Should Learn From Abundance Bound . . . What separates our service from other financial companies is that we only work with artists and creative professionals. I specialize in the application of wealth techniques to a creative lifestyle. All of the Abundance Bound Coaches actually DO what we teach. (Click here to read more about our Coaches.) I’ve spent more than 6 years figuring out what works (and most importantly, what doesn’t work) for us creative professionals who need more time and money to focus on our art. We're going to shave YEARS off of your learning curve! All of our coaches are artists and business owners. We know what it’s like to juggle a thousand projects at the same time, while still being able to enjoy our lives and our families and friends. We'll show you how to prioritize your day and your efforts to do the same. Our clients receive a very specific, step-by-step system on exactly what they need to do to take control of their financial future. As a result, those who work with us learn how to: get on top of their finances, eliminate debt, and make (and keep) more money. This gives them more time, energy and freedom to focus on their artistic pursuits and doing what they love most. We apply a practical approach to grand, broad sweep ideas. There are plenty of advisors out there who advocate the concepts we present. What they do not provide is a step-by-step approach on how to get to the life you want from the life you have: We do. You’ll get told the truth, not what you (necessarily) want to hear. The people in our lives will not always be honest with us as we pursue our dreams. We promise to tell you what you need to know (gently) in any situation you bring to us through the course of the Boot Camp, and also to push you more than you are used to. We've helped people just like you get on the road to financial success without struggling, and without sacrificing their artistic goals and dreams, and we will do the same with you.
Ideal candidates for the Boot Camp. . .
You are not well suited for this work if you…
The Investment: Many of us have spent thousands (if not tens-of-thousands) on our education up to this point. We have spent money on school, classes, coaches and more. And still, most of us were never taught anything useful about MONEY. This Boot Camp will change that! Before we move on, let’s recap. Here is what you get:
That means that if you were to purchase each element of the Boot Camp separately, it would cost you $5,070. This may seem like a lot of money, especially for those struggling to pay the rent right now. But take a moment and really imagine what your life would be like if money as an issue were out of the way, for the rest of your life. How would you spend your days if you knew that you no longer had to perform the nine-to-five grind? What classes would you take? What projects would you fund? Who would you help? Really think about what it’s worth to you to finally break the cycle of financial stress and struggle and learn to develop prosperity while STILL pursuing your dream. Now here is the good news: everything we have to offer is not going to be assessed by its individual value. The reason for this is that our mission is to develop an entire community of artists who are happy, confident and prosperous, and who are able to develop their craft from a place of joy and freedom. What this means is that you will not have to invest $5,070. Or even $2,500.
