I’m Jessica Abel

I’m a cartoonist/ author/ teacher/ editor/ illustrator turned creative business owner.

I know what it’s like to be doing everything “right,” and realize that people on the outside think I’ve got it all nailed, yet working insane hours and still not making ends meet.

I like to think of myself as competent. Yet a total lack of connection between the massive effort I was investing and the minimal return was driving me crazy.

I needed control over my life and my future.

I needed to support my family.

So I pivoted, hard, to creative business ownership.

This pivot point for me and my career is exactly the pivot point I am driven to create for others.

I want you to have an independent, creative, sustainable business.

I want you to have control of your future.

I want you to stop feeling victimized by your creative life (and stop feeling guilty for feeling that way when so many others would love to do what you do).

I believe that every professional creative needs to equip themself with powerful, effective strategy so that they can build businesses that meet their needs.

We (the big We—the world) need you to be successful because we need you to have the freedom and support to bring your work to the world for the rest of us to experience!
