KNOWLEDGE

Learn what ‘Novices & Pros’ do differently and how you can start to apply this to your new business right away. Learn how to value and tier your services to create a steady, reliable stream of sales that can not only win you new clients and commissions, but also generate a passive income in the form of ‘royalties, self-publishing and usage’ and hence monetize your assets for the future, giving you an income year on year that accumulates while you sleep.

Once you have clarity in what your niche is and who your ideal clients are it will move you out of overwhelm and confusion to enable you to start selling your services within 30 days of completing the course

MARKETING TACTICS

Market your own creativity effectively and avoid the classic mistakes that all start-ups make without being cheesy, pushy or coming off like a used car salesman.  Build a huge list of followers using simple ‘Giving Posts’ which convert your followers in raving fans and then clients. And then learn to leverage the power of on-line marketing and ‘word of mouth’ advertising utilising your own unique creative content as collateral to promote with making more sales with ‘ Zero ’ Advertising expense.

I have worked with Richard on many successful occasions over the last 10 years. He is always quick to provide clarity to a creative situation . He makes the impossible sound easy and I often turn to him for professional advice. That and the fact he is a true gentleman make him my go to Creative Consultant.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A BIT MORE ABOUT ME AND MY STORY BEFORE YOU JOIN MY PROGRAM?

It was 2007 and I had been fortunate enough to have worked in various roles within the Creative Industry since leaving art college 12 years prior.  I had manged to achieve a highly respected reputation in many creative circles, through my relentless grit and determination (okay you got me….working like a dog for somebody else!!).  However, I found myself stuck in a toxic environment which was slowly killing me (literally!)  I could see my dreams of living a life which was supposed to be fulfilled and full of creativity .. being slowly eroded away.

I was surrounded by well-meaning friends and family who were not at all creative and ‘didn’t get it’ and would say… “why go and do arty stuff there’s no future in it” … “that is not a career it’s just a hobby, why don’t you go and learn a ‘proper’ trade or profession”… “you should become an electrician or plumber or doctor or accountant or lawyer… get a real job!”

Am I right? Have you been told this before? How frustrating is that? … It certainly was when I first started my career in the creative industries. 

As I said my creativity was eroding and my passion and health were deteriorating too. I was living with envy and jealousy, depressed and hated what I was doing….I was completely lost. I was probably like you now sitting on the sidelines watching other guys having all the success, doing the things what I wanted to do and thinking, ‘I can do that, but thinking they must have some kind of lucky break or know a secret success strategy that I didn’t know’, which inevitably left me beating myself up and feeling worthless but you know the worst thing of all was that I stopped being creative. 

Then, one day something special happened that would change my life forever.

I bumped into an old friend of mine, who was training as a mentor and business coach and he saw how low and lost I was and was really concerned to see what was happening to me (my spark had faded)”

He came up with the most profound metaphor for my life … he said, “Rich you fight for your hobbies” (I’m a life long ‘martial artist’ so was training a lot then) “and you’re fighting for survival in your job and your personal life .. this will only end in one of two ways.. You either ‘win or you lose!’. So why take the risk of killing yourself and your happiness for someone else’s gain … just avoid the fight and do what you were taught as a martial artist and be the bigger man and walk away ….. believe in yourself and your ability ! and that was my epiphany moment, when the ‘light bulb’ switched on! …. I realised that I had to take that leap of faith right then …. I found something deep inside me that was asleep, and in that moment, I knew I had the ability to wake it up and summon the courage to take a step into the unknown and finally take control of my own future and put an end to undeserving people and my negative thoughts controlling it for me … I had so much more to give than what I was actually doing … and this was where my  ‘Creative Warrior Mindset’ was born and continues to drive me forward no matter what life tries to throws at me.  

Now, fast forward 14 years, I am fortunate enough to own and operate multiple successful creative businesses, I wake up with energy and passion, I love what I have the opportunity of doing every day and I have created a brand that many high profile clients now queue up to work with.

I don’t say this for boasting rights… I say this because, if I can do it then so can you!. This is meant as message of hope and a deep and personal message from me to you, a fellow ‘creative in mind’, as someone who has been where you are now, and has made that transition from a place of fear and doubt, to a place of opportunity and success, a place where my teams and I can continue to grow and impact and change the visual landscapes around us. 

I am so passionate about this industry, and the people who work in it, and from my heart I want to share everything I have learnt so you can become the master of your own future too, earn a next level income, and create the thing you love the most… its time for me to pay it forward to the next generation of amazing creatively minded people who are being held back from where they deserve to be!

I have worked with Richard and his companies for the last five years, using their expertise to help deliver comprehensive and complicated solutions for our own use and for our customers. Richard is a real pleasure to work with and combines both humour and knowledge to get the clients ideas across the line. This is a testament to Richards leadership enabling all of his teams to consistently performed above and beyond our expectations to deliver for example campaigns that continues to run at Heathrow Terminal 3 and other locations years after they were originally delivered. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard for any challenging creative project.

Richard spoke at my university last year and actually judged some of my work.  So I have recently graduated and have been struggling to find work, I was feeling really stuck and was doing exactly what he said (I actually took a job in a supermarket to pay my bills) I saw that he was doing a course so I thought I would give it a try .. I’m so glad that I did.  I did my mentoring call with Richard last week and I know what I’m going to do and what my NICHE is and I’m now taking my first steps to starting my own business… I am so happy and feel like there is someone out there to help when I get stuck…. Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou

I have been working as a freelancer for a short while and recently hit a roadblock when COVID hit. I stumbled upon this course on FB and took advantage of the Pre-Launch offer he was running. I don’t normally leave reviews but I wanted to leave one for this course because what Richard has put together is super useful, there’s a lot of information in there, Im sure I will revist some of the modules.  I loved what he has done with the ‘Creative Warrior Mindset’ part this is something that I’m sure is going to help me going into 2021… I feel super pumped up now to go out and smash 2021.. Thankyou Richard For the knowledge you have shared in this course !

Initially I wasn’t sure if this course would apply to what I do, but it absolutely does! I would say anyone can apply a lot of the lessons here to their business..no matter what you create or sell, but if you have a creative service then this is absolute GOLD… and the best bit was at the end I got to speak to Richard in person which was great… he gave me even more information on that call.  It is so obvious that he really cares and you will be blown away by the passion that he has for the creative industry and the people working in it. After speaking with him for just 1 hour I know I’m now going to invest in some 1 to 1 mentoring with him. I can't wait!

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IF I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT?

We are confident, that what we have created will move you forward, as long as you commit and make it happen. But Remember  ‘It Won’t Work If You Don’t Work!’

If for some reason you aren’t able to take your first steps forward to your next level, in the first 30 days, then email us at support@creativeknowledgebroker.com and we will take care of a refund for you!

IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE TO SETUP AND LAUNCH MY CREATIVE BUSINESS IN JUST 30 DAYS ?

Yes. Absolutely if you are committed to becoming your own boss and take action and not just ‘dabbling at it’ commit your time to following the steps we have set out you will have done all the work necessary to give you a foundation of knowledge for launching your new creative business to the world if you complete all the modules in 30 days.

WILL I HAVE SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS ONCE I BUY THE COURSE ?

Yes you will get great support that will come in the form of a supportive community where you can communicate with likeminded creatives who will be going through the same process as you and we actively encourage you to participate and support each other. Our co-founders and team members of the ‘Creative Knowledge Broker Group’ do answer all questions in the group. The community is designed to make sure that each person will always get their questions answered. However, because this is an online evergreen course, not a one to one mentoring program, we can only offer limited personal support for any issue over and above any technical problems that you may have with the website or online course itself.

WILL I NEED ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE OR TOOLS TO USE THIS COURSE?

No, you just need an internet connection and access to a computer and printer.

WHAT IF I AM NOT READY TO GIVE UP MY FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT YET BUT WANT TO DO THIS PART-TIME, IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME?

Yes, this course is designed for anybody who is serious about becoming their own boss, personally that’s how I originally started my journey as I didn’t have the courage or knowledge to go all in at that time, but I was committed and passionate about being my own boss and sharing my unique talent so doing it as a ‘side hustle’ is a great way to start off your business and find your feet.. but you do have to still go all in and DO THE WORK ! whether its full time or part time.

HOW ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO GIVE THIS KNOWLEDGE AND HOW DO I KNOW ITS REAL?

The knowledge in this course comes from over 27+ years of experience, learning and working across all sectors of the creative industries after leaving art college. There are very few people out there in the creative industries who have this cross section of experience or who have combined the knowledge and techniques into one course. Please do take some time and look into me and my companies to see what I do and what I have done.

Imaginar | Immersive Studio | Illustration Agent | LinkedIn

HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS KNOWLEDGE APPLIES TO MY PARTICULAR CREATIVE NICHE?

All businesses essentially operate the same way, so the lessons you learn can be applied  pretty much across any type of business that you want to setup and we try to speak broadly about many of the subjects so they are non-specific to any one particular genre of creative work so you can see how they can be applied to what you specialise in.

WILL I ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO THIS COURSE?

Yes this is an evergreen course and you will have access to all the course material and any future updates we apply to it.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to send me an email  at support@creativeknowledgebroker.com
