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. But 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. "The starving artist" is no way to live. Insanely talented, but unable to make a dime. What good is that for the longevity of your career?
We don't want to be stuck in a boring job. We want to use our creativity in service of our careers. A long creative career.
A profitable, stable, sustainable creative career is an obtainable goal in the modern era, and I have the millions of dollars in revenue, across all of the best monetisation methods, to prove it.
You have the skills. Now learn how the best creatives make a living from them.
Choose your own adventure. There are so many ways to win as a creative.
Create products that provide you freedom
Learn how to find product gaps and create high-quality, high-value products people love. Then learn the techniques I personally use to make every launch high-leverage and successful.
Make an impact with your services
Get started quickly with the skills you already have. Then learn how to scale and offer your services in a way that's irresistible to SMBs, brands, and agencies.
Master modern marketing
Understand what modern marketing is all about in today's world. Discover how to crush your content game and boost your business using ads and email.

What's in the mentorship?
The Creative Leap is split into two parts: a 4-phase, self-paced, structured course, and an online Discord community.

The 4-phase course
Everything you need to make the leap into building your creative business and living out your passion full time. Self-paced, and a living thing. Lessons are updated constantly, and new ones are added based on what the community wants.
Lifestyle design
Establish your desires and uncover lifestyle design, a concept that transformed my entire life. We'll also cover the math of "terminal velocity", so once you're out on your own, you stay out on your own.
Build something of value
Choose your own adventure: the product path, the services path, or combine the two, which is what I recommend.
Make yourself discoverable
Leverage the three pillars of modern marketing: content, ads, and email. We'll also cover content as a third monetisation option, and what's possible through Instagram and YouTube.
Make the leap
If you're ready, that's great. If you're not, we'll build the extra skills that give you the confidence and the time you need to make the leap.
The online community
The other half of the mentorship is where you get to interact with me on a daily basis, in chat form, on Discord.
Rather than a forum-style community, a chat-based community means I can be there for you in real time, when it matters. I'm in there every single day, answering questions about the course material and helping guide you through building your creative business.
Ask questions of me or the existing community, share your experiences in real time, and join regular critique and feedback sessions so you can troubleshoot issues as they happen.
"Great program! Well-structured course and it's a pleasure to belong to an engaged community. Pat really pushes us to deliver our best."

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. 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.
"It has very practical exercises and up to date information on the current creative industry, and ways to build a business from your creative hobby or side hustle. Direct contact and the possibility to ask questions and get answers from Pat and the community is priceless."

Questions, answered
How much time do I need?
The course is fully self-paced and you have lifetime access, so it fits around your life rather than the other way around. Some members move through a phase in a week, others take months while working full time. Both are fine.
I don't know what my creative business would even be yet. Is this still for me?
Yes. Phase 1 exists exactly for this. You'll work out what you want your life to look like first, then choose the path that fits: products, services, content, or a mix of them.
Do I need to be a photographer?
No. The business, marketing, and lifestyle design material applies to any creative discipline. The two bonus courses happen to be photography courses, because that's my craft.
When do I get access, and for how long?
Instantly, and forever. You get lifetime access to the course including every future lesson and update, and ongoing access to the community.
How does the community actually work?
It runs on Discord, in chat form, and I'm in there every single day. Ask questions of me or other members, share what you're building in real time, and join regular critique and feedback sessions.
What if it turns out it's not for me?
Work through the course up to the end of Phase 2 and get a feel for everything. If it's not for you, email me within 7 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.
Turn your passion into a life you love
Realistically, you only need your first service sale, or a handful of product sales, to make this investment back. Over time, it pays itself back 10x, 100x, or more. And the course and community keep growing, giving you more value over the long term.
