The Guild Society

Are you a creative, a maker, an artist who is driven by a pursuit of creativity?

Does your creativity give you purpose, and you know you have got real skill?  Are you ready to make the change from your creativity as a side hustle to making an income from what it is you love doing?

If these are the questions that you find yourself frequently musing  over, trying to balance the dilemma of wanting to create for a living but not really knowing where to start, then we at the Guild Society have  got you covered.

Here is what we do.

The Guild Society is a unique collective of creatives and business coaches.

Our coaches are all experienced in working with the unique parameters that Artists work in.

Our coaches will work with you to

• Help you develop a unique and individualised strategy for your success as a creative

• Provide you with the skills that will help you succeed in your creative pursuit.

• Keep you accountable and working toward your goal

So if it’s time for you to shift your mindset and start generating an income from your creativity then join us and let us help you.

The Guild Society is a subscription-based service that gives you access to all of the tools, learning and coaches that you will need to bring your dreams to fruition.

So throw away your starving artists mindset and let’s work together to get your work out there into the world and get you on the road to earning an income from your creativity.

MEET YOUR COACH

I am Janine Hendry and I’m an entrepreneur,  a strategist and a designer. I have founded many successful companies, my success is built on a  sound academic foundation, having worked across a number of Universities in the areas of marketing strategy and consumer psychology. In fact, I still hold visiting Professorships at IESEG in Paris and at Boston University.

It is this knowledge that I will bring to the Guild Society, I know how it feels when you’re trying to build a business, when you experience the frustration of taking one  step forward and three steps back.

I get how it feels overwhelming and frustrating when you are trying  to find your way through rules and  regulations, and I know how it can feel utterly defeated when you are trying to do it all on your own, particularly when you want  to spend time focusing on your creativity.

I see it as my role to walk you through the process of starting and building your successful creative business.

I really believe that creativity is the very foundation of a healthy society and it is important to support and indeed encourage creative enterprises.

I have created the Guild Society to help you as a creative reclaim your power and to realise your dreams
