Is your business success limited by self-doubt?

As entrepreneurs, we’re constantly pushing our limits. We spend our days pouring ourselves into our latest high-stakes launch, and our evenings researching the productivity hacks and strategies used by top-performers in our field.

When we’re feeling unmotivated and uninspired, we think more discipline is the answer. We push ourselves harder, only to find we’re more disconnected than ever before. We feel sticky, exhausted, and out of alignment with our passions.

This trajectory towards so-called success continues. We hire others to help us do the work, sinking our money, our creative energy, and our well-being into a launch that falls flat.

Why?

Because we believe achievement is the path to freedom and success.

But you can’t achieve your way out of burnout.

It’s time to take a different approach

to the entrepreneurial experience.

It’s time to take a different approach to the entrepreneurial experience.

We entrepreneurs and creators make the same mistake, over and over: We forget that our best marketing elixir and key to magic making is us.

You know you have big dreams that you want to cultivate, but you’re lacking the language, tools, and habits needed to plant the right seeds to unleash your greatest creative potential.

How can you dig into the rich soil of you? 

How do you, for once and for all, get beyond what has always held you back?

By doing the deep work of getting to the core of who you are and reclaiming inspired creativity.

When you boldly embrace and fully express your imagination and intuition, you can…

Introducing: The Sketchbook

Entrepreneur Masterclass

Introducing: The Sketchbook
Entrepreneur Masterclass

The Sketchbook Entrepreneur Masterclass is a LIVE six-week online course designed to help entrepreneurs like you access your innate creativity and artistic talent to move into freedom in ways you never dreamed possible.

During the Masterclass (and well beyond), you’ll fill the pages of your sketchbook with creative exercises you are learning via experimentation and exploration. You will learn the basics of art-making principles (no prior experience or perceived “talent” required!) that you will use throughout your life and in all areas of your enterprise. Your sketchbook will be where you safely take risks, try on new skills and thinking, and create with abandon.

In our digital world, a medium as simple (and magical) as paper grounds us in the moment, where the only goal is experiencing the transformational power of creation. The practice of keeping a sketchbook allows us to foster new ways of thinking by connecting with our most internalized emotions and experiences, your hand bringing them to light in ways you didn’t know possible.

Your sketchbook will be your blank canvas for your journey of becoming. It will be the record—and the map—of the archeological dig into your true self. It will simultaneously reveal your vision and unwind the direction you should head next.

Your sketchbook will be the treasure map of a profoundly transformational experience where you tap into and leverage the vast powers of your left and right brain. Where you reclaim and harmonize your inspired creativity with the untold potency of your strategic mind. 

Best of all, you’ll rekindle your innate curiosity and creativity to map your ideas, visions, and best thinking through the process of transforming an ordinary notebook into the Book of You.

“You’re going to surprise yourself…”

“When everybody tells you–when the doubters tell you–it can’t be done; you’ll go broke; or all kinds of tragedies will come your way… Nonsense. If you can get to the root of who you are, the gut of who you are, and make something happen from it, in whatever field, my sense is you’re going to surprise yourself.”

Why I created The Sketchbook

Entrepreneur Masterclass

Why I created The Sketchbook
Entrepreneur Masterclass

I started The Sketchbook Entrepreneur Masterclass because I’ve been where so many entrepreneurs find themselves: frustrated and stuck, wading through self-doubt with a major disconnection between where I was, and where I envisioned myself.

I knew I needed to dig deep to break out of the fog and fear that was weighing me down. But what I didn’t know was that it was creativity that would help me heal on a personal level and inspire me to think differently about how I perceive—and interact with—the world.

I dove head first into art. I painted, sketched, and wrote my way through challenges to heal myself and my business, moving past the disbelief that I wasn’t an artist and into an empowered state of being. 

We’re all seeking freedom. Freedom to be who we truly are. Freedom to do work we love and succeed. Freedom to live the art of our uniqueness and become indelible in the marketplace.

The Sketchbook Entrepreneur Masterclass brings together like-minded people in pursuit of this freedom: entrepreneurs prepared to move past their self-doubt and into a place of resounding business success. 

Through live instruction and fear-busting exercises, we’ll work together to take self-knowledge and art-making and turn it into business and personal liberation, success, and real-world traction.

Frequently Asked Questions

You are an entrepreneur who is stuck and riddled with self-doubt and who is ready, for once and for all, to get to the gut of who you are, reclaim your inspired creativity, attract your ideal clients with ease, and embrace risk, vulnerability, visibility, and courage.

You are kind, supportive, willing to get it wrong, and laugh out loud. You are open, loving, generous, and desiring to contribute to the community.

You are in need of a community where you can feel safe, create and learn with abandon, and share freely. This is the community you’ll gain in The Sketchbook Entrepreneur Masterclass.

No previous artistic experience is required! In fact, your “newbie” status gives you a distinct advantage. Remember: you are already creative.

The process of creating is what is essential to your growth, not the outcome of your work (although you will adore and treasure your sketchbook).

Supplies will be minimal, but a complete list will be provided upon enrollment in the Masterclass.

You’ll also need the results from the Kolbe-A Index ($55.00) and Top 5 CliftonStrengths Assessment ($19.99) before the Masterclass begins. Please print out and bring your results to the first day of class.

The combination of answers from these tools allows you to discover how you are wired to take action as well as your top five strengths. This key data reveals what you should be doing in your entrepreneurial life, and what you should be delegating. Since we will be referring to these answers early in the course curriculum, your results are needed before the Masterclass begins.

Absolutely! All Zoom recordings will be emailed to you soon after the class is presented. You will have lifetime access to the recordings.

Purchasing the VIP option is the only way to get a one hour, 1-on-1 coaching session with Susie and cannot be added on after enrollment.

However, non-VIP Masterclass participants are welcome to register for a private coaching package with Susie at a later date.

Given the limited seats available for this live Masterclass, refunds are not available.

This Masterclass encourages participants to do the deep work of self-discovery, and as such, it is to your great benefit to make an informed decision and fully commit. Making a promise to yourself—and keeping that promise—is a powerful way to get unstuck and set you on a path of wins and success.

Send me a message, and I’ll get back to you with the answers you’re seeking.

“I really shifted to using the other half of my brain…”

“I really shifted to using the other half of my brain, and I could actually feel the energy moving over, as well as the emotional release that came from it. Quite amazing to recapture being able to do that at will. Susie has a depth of knowledge at her fingertips that she could tap in order to answer any questions that came her way. I brought home creativity tools (beautifully curated), a list of reference resources, and some new ways to really shift back and forth between both the left and right brain to discover new pathways to innovation. Thank you so much!”
—Sandra Wilson

“Susie has a special knack for helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders set a vision for exactly what they want to become (so we may serve on an even higher level). She helped me reclaim my creativity, as well as delivered support and accountability along the way (and refused to let me ever stay stuck). Her generosity, kindness, and kick-assedness are pretty badass, and if you want to move to the next level, working with Susie is for you.”
— Erica Kalkofen

“Susie is an incredible combination of smarts, heart, business acumen, and intuition. Her analogies make me laugh and bring a much deeper level of understanding to a concept she is sharing. Susie’s ability to laser in and read people is uncanny and a mega superpower. She is a soul-sage—sending what’s going on below the surface and then helping you dive deep and mine your own riches. If you’re stuck in business or life and need a sherpa to get you outta the woods, Susie truly engages, inspires, and fosters deeper, cohesive insights that will help you and your team thrive!”
