growing into your next chapter

Written By Anne LaFollette

What Got You Here… Won’t Get You There. You’ve probably heard that before. And it’s one of the hardest parts of growth as a creative entrepreneur.

So what does it really mean? It usually means letting go of the exact habits and strategies that worked for you up until now. It can feel disorienting. You’re not a beginner anymore, but you’re not exactly where you want to be either.

That in-between space is where so many creatives get stuck. And it’s also where the right kind of support can make all the difference.

What Does It Mean to Evolve?

In business, evolving might mean:

  • Raising your prices (and standing behind them)

  • Saying no to projects that don’t align with your vision

  • Letting go of outdated systems and building new ones

  • Shifting from reactive to proactive

  • Claiming your role as CEO—not just artist, not just teacher, not just maker

But here’s the thing:

Evolution doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

When you try to do it alone, you second-guess yourself. You shrink back. You tell yourself, “Maybe later.”

But when you’re in a space where other women are evolving too?

You rise faster. You make bolder moves. You start acting like the future version of yourself.

What the Right Mastermind Can Offer You

In the Creative Business Mastermind, we create the structure, and stretch you to grow:

  • Clear goals and accountability checkpoints

  • Strategy calls that help you cut through the noise

  • Hot seat sessions that bring clarity and direction

  • A curated group of women who are committed to growth

  • Gentle but honest reflection when something isn’t working anymore

We don’t just support your to-do list.

We support your evolution.

Grow Into the Next Version of You…

This might be the sign you’ve been waiting for.

You don’t have to be “ready.” You just have to be willing.

Because it’s never too late to create® Or to evolve.

Hi…I’m Anne!
My creative inspiration comes from a lifetime of observation. I grew up in Paris on the Place St. Sulpice and walked to school through the Luxembourg gardens. And that was only the beginning… Learn more by watching the video on my About page.
