The New ARTbundance™ MENTORing and INVENTORing Network

Application for January 2011 Class




A message from Artella Founder Marney Makridakis:

I'm delighted to announce that we're starting a brand new, community based program for creative entrepreneurs who like to work together, be productive, and have FUN! It's called The New ARTbundance™ MENTORing and INVENTORing Network (M.A.I.N.). Applications for the Inaugural M.A.I.N. Program are now available, and will be accepted through January 10, 2010.

M.A.I.N. is a 12-week 12-week ARTbundance™ Business Building Extravaganza in which creative, enthusiastically ambitious professionals, or those who aspire to be such, will receive marketing and business mentoring from me and their colleagues as they progress through a passionately practical journey to build and promote their businesses in an inventive, step-by-step progression that is based on the ARTbundance™ Principles of Gratitude, Intuition, Balance, Vision, Attraction, Choice, Action, Connection, Service.

The MENTORing and INVENTORing Network is a 12-week program that includes:

  1. 12 LIVE weekly teleclasses taught by me, with new interactive small-group projects that take place in REAL TIME, throughout the class! During each class, you will consistently meet with the same small group, to develop a strong rapport as you support one another in this work. The live teleclasses begin the week of January 16; the dates of the live teleclasses are TBA, determined by the actual schedules and availability those accepted in the program.

  2. The ARTbundance™ Business Building Action Plan - A comprehensive 30-point plan to build your business, ARTbundance™ style, to serve as your business-building roadmap throughout the M.A.I.N. program and continue to guide and inspire you long after!

  3. Inspiring weekly guidebooks with interactive worksheets and exercises and ARTsignments™ (exercises infused with creativity)

  4. Multiple options for weekly accountability assignments that progressively grow your business: YOU get to decide the rate, pace, and progression for your business!

  5. A thriving online community where you can connect, network, share and barter with your M.A.I.N. colleagues. It's kind of like a "think tank" except we're calling it the "M.A.I.N. Think-And-Sync Tank"...because you'll be invited to sync up with others and share both thoughts and feelings as you create and implement your brilliant new business inventions!

  6. Your own "Accountability Advocate": You will develop a supportive partnership with a colleague in the program with whom you'll be matched based on preferences, personality, compatibility, and complimentary skills and interests.

  7. A full package of promotional opportunities for marketing your work within the Artella Community.

Recently I've been immersed in Artella courses and I thought I knew where Marney was guiding us during the M.A.I.N. Kick-Off. Not even close! In the first class, I was amazed by my insights! I felt like I was falling in love with my business all over again. Once again - how many times have you heard it, Marney? - THANK YOU!!!!
- Mikell Worley

On the very first call of the M.A.I.N. Kick-Off teleclass I received an amazing insight into my fledgling art business. Everything clicked into place and I now feel tremendous energy to move forward with my business. I signed up for this course because I knew I would learn from Marney, a master business woman, but I now also realize how much I will learn from my classmates, and from my own intuition. Thank you for designing such an innovative class, Marney!
