Most creatives don’t know how to make a living, and it’s not their fault.

Learning business and learning craft are two very different skillsets that require two very different mindsets.

 

However, learning both and mixing them together is one of the most powerful things you can do to transform your life as a creative person.

 

As creatives, we’ve been fed a lie.

 

See, “The Starving Artist” is a loser—the insanely talented, lonely creative who can’t make a single dime is no way to live.

 

Sure, they might be great at what they do, but if you quickly burn the candle at both ends with little resources, what good is that for the longevity of your career?

 

As a creative person, ideally, we don’t want to be stuck in a boring job. We want to use our creativity in service of our careers. We want a long creative career.

 

The great thing is that having an extremely profitable, stable, sustainable, and impactful creative career is such an obtainable goal in the modern era, and I have the millions of dollars in revenue generated in all of the best monetisation methods to prove it. 

Let me show you how.

Creatives come in all shapes and sizes, positions and preferences. 

 

There is no right or wrong way to approach making money as a creative aside from not making it, but there are preferences.

 

As an introvert, I love creating products, because I love treasuring my own personal time and freedom I get from the leverage and scalability of selling them. 

 

But over the many years I’ve also very much enjoyed networking and engaging with clients, customers, agencies, brands, and SMB’s to perform services and do work with people face-to-face.

 

I’ve also been lucky enough to be sent to the far ends of the earth and travel the world for jobs, where the only deliverable is to showcase my experience. 

 

I’ve also worked with just about every Fortune 500 brand I could possibly want to work with.

 

In all the main ways to make money that are desirable to creatives—products, services, influence, I’ve done it. 

 

Now, I want to teach you how I did it and the lessons I learned along the way.
Meet your teacher

Hey, I'm Pat Kay.

I've been in the creative industry for over 20 years—capturing my travels on camera, teaching photography, and formerly designing products, experiences, and websites.

 

I'm a lifelong adventurer, obsessed with documenting the world and sharing what I've learned along the way. 

 

With a background across many creative fields, I've developed a unique perspective on creativity and capturing the world, and I'd love to share it with you.

What's in the mentorship?

The Creative Leap is split into two parts: 

A 4-phase, self-paced, structured curriculum + an online Discord community.

A 4-phased, structured curriculum

All my knowledge condensed down to help you build a new creative life, as soon as possible. 

No fluff. No irrelevant content. No bullshit.

A 4-phased, structured curriculum

All my knowledge condensed down to help you build a new creative life, as soon as possible. 

No fluff. No irrelevant content. No bullshit.

PHASE 1

We establish our desires and uncover the idea of “lifestyle design”—a concept that transformed my entire life and something I want to pass on to you. We’ll also cover all the math to achieve “terminal velocity”—an important concept to ensure once you’re out on your own, your able to stay out on your own.

PHASE 2

We build something of value. At this point you get to choose your own adventure. Do you go down a product path? Or do you go down a services path? Each path has their own pros and cons, but you could just as easily combine the two (which is what I recommend).

PHASE 3

We make ourselves discoverable. Once you have something of value to sell to people, you can leverage the 3 pillars of modern marketing to get the word out: content, ads, and email. In this phase, we’ll also talk about content as a third monetisation option besides products and services, and I’ll show you what’s possible through Instagram and YouTube.

PHASE 4

If you're ready, you make the leap. But if you’re not, we’ll learn some extra skills to provide you the confidence and give you the time you need in order to do it. 

All of the lessons are self-paced and a living, breathing thing. They’ll be updated constantly and new lessons will be added depending on what the  Discord community wants.

Exclusive Discord Community

The other half of the mentorship is where you get to interact with me on a daily basis in chat form.

Discord is the platform of choice here, chosen for its flexibility.

 

Rather than having a forum-style or platform-focused online community, having a chat-based community means that I can be there for you in real time, when it matters.

 

I’ll be in there every single day, answering any questions you have about the course material and helping guide you through building your creative business.

 

Ask questions of me or any of the existing community and share your experiences in real time.

We’ll also have regular critique and feedback sessions through the platform so that you can troubleshoot any issues as they happen.
