"Profit" is the key to more studio time


Hello Reader,

Things are buzzing with all the shows we currently have going on at the agency. Winter should feel like a good reset, but even the cold can't stop the busyness sometimes.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I really making money from my creative practice?”—you’re not alone.

Understanding your end of year P&L is one simple way to empower your year ahead as an artist or entrepreneur.

Specifically, did you turn a profit? "Making money," isn't just covering your expenses and time.

Profit is a resource you can reinvest in your work to grow a sustainable practice.

Profit gives you more time in the studio.

Calculating Profitability: Sustaining Creative Growth

February 10 | 10AM ET

This 90-minute hands-on workshop will help you build your Profit & Loss (P&L) statement—a crucial financial tool that reveals your revenue, costs, and profit. More than just a document, a solid P&L help business owners:

  • See where money is coming from and where it’s going
  • Make informed decisions about pricing, expenses, and financial goals
  • Understand what’s drives profit (or holds it back!)
  • Be ahead of the curve for tax time

We'll cover:

  • Defining revenue streams (services, sales, rentals, etc.)
  • Identifying variable costs (supplies, contractors, travel)
  • Understanding fixed expenses (rent, insurance, utilities)
  • Building a P&L tailored to YOUR practice and business

RSVP and invite a fellow creative or entrepreneur—because talking about money gets easier when we do it together.

Keep going,
Scott
