HERE'S HOW THE ONLINE COURSES WORK
Every weekday during each course you will receive an email from me. You will also be given a password to log into the class blog where you can interact with other artists on the course if you choose to.
The courses will include a combination of pdf files and word documents, audio files and spreadsheets. You can open and read or listen to the files at your convenience from your home, studio or wherever you happen to be, at whatever time of day or night suits you. There are no scheduled class times and you are free to work at your own pace and as your schedule permits, but I highly recommend setting aside 45-60 minutes each weekday in a quiet place to get the most from each exercise.
As with most things, you'll get from the course what you put in. The assignments will vary. You may already have very effective systems up and running that just need updating or you may want to change one or more of your systems. In either case, when you finish the course you'll be ready to tackle your office work more easily and effectively.
There will also be two one-hour times slots twice a week when you can ring me for a ten minute session to ask specific questions about the course content. Calls will be taken on a first come first serve basis during the call in sessions and will be strictly time limited to give all students a chance to participate.
I provide: experience, knowledge, support and encouragement and feedback.
You provide: the enthusiasm, positive attitude and willingness to be open to change.

I have to be honest and say that although the course looked interesting it took me a long time to decide to book a place as I felt I was doing ok as I was and thought I may just be repeating what I had already learnt while studying for my art degree. It soon became apparent that although I was hitting the mark in some areas there was room for great improvements in others. I have learnt so much and the course has spurred me on to improve all areas of my art business. The daily tasks have encouraged me to evaluate and work on each area straight away rather than putting them on my mental to do list which usually means it never gets done.
I'm going to reiterate what just about everybody else is saying: your course is wonderful! It brings everything together and gets you motivated to do things the right way. It also answers the questions about what is worth and not worth doing. I really am so glad I signed up for it.
Just a quick note to say thank you for all the information so far. The course content and your thorough replies to comments have been fantastic. I’m learning a lot and feel very inspired.
The course has served as a bold reminder of my core values and what I need to do to realise my plans… So I thank you for reminding me of who I am, what I'm about and what I need to do.
This has been a great way to sort out where I am and where I have been investing energy, and to concentrate on the activity that takes my practice and business forwards.
I found it particularly useful to be encouraged to identify my goals, both long and short term, and an organised strategy for achieving them. In retrospect I am now shocked at how haphazard I was being in terms of knowing what work I have , where it is, and where it is going.
Anyway all in all a very good course. I will certainly recommend it to my artist friends...

Creative clutter in the studio is one thing, but clutter in the office is just chaos. The content [Systems for Success] is well structured and focuses on what an artist needs to get organised, even if we don't always know it. I knew it but was just never sure how to do it and now I am.
Organising a year of receipts or updating online stuff to a deadline is no fun so I think that this course will free me to GET organised and KEEP organised and that will be a huge benefit to my creative process. I will be able to have more flow in my studio because I don't ignore the paper work.
I wish I had come across Kathryn's course long ago.
