“I recently unsubscribed from everything, even things I like in an attempt to make more room for genius work. Everything…EXCEPT April’s newsletter. It’s my favorite EVER!!! It’s packed with darn good advice and just the right amount of bossiness to snap me out of my comfort zone. Like getting rainbow confetti delivered by a unicorn straight to my inbox. Seriously don’t know how I would navigate this making-a-living-on-the-Internet thing without my April fix every Wednesday. Not gonna try.”

ABOUT APRIL

I’m like your Paris Geller (with way more compassion) with a smidgen of Hermione Granger business consultant.

I’m a no-nonsense tell it like it is kinda girl who loves working with creative entrepreneurs, reading business books on a Friday night and typing away day after day with my three lab mixes at my feet.

“It is not an exaggeration to say April changed my life. Before I started working with her, I was only doing my business on the side and thought it would be impossible to make it my full-time job. Through April's stellar advice and warm encouragement, I was able to quit my job and become a full-time freelance editor and writer! As if that weren't enough, April is a joy to work with. She is not only smart, but she is compassionate and funny. Plus, her taste in books is impeccable. I do not say that lightly.”

3 Self-Care Habits to Adopt to Change Your Life (No Candles Included)

By April | January 10, 2018

"When a friend recommended April's blog to me a few years ago, I read every last blog post that same week. Finally! A creative who understood where I was stuck and who had the solutions for my business moving forward. Since then, I've found so much success working with April. Every single investment that I've made, from her marketing book, to the one-on-one coaching with her, to flying out to be in the live studio audience during three of her CreativeLive courses, all have been more than worth it. With April's guidance I've been able to triple my income from one year to the next and my income has nearly doubled again since then. She not only has the knowledge and expertise to catapult your business into the next stratosphere, she also helps you have the best fun while doing it. To this day I literally have every notification turned on on all my devices to know when April has put out something new, and if she were to sell a thousand dollar unicorn...I'd be at the front of the line to buy!"
