I would love to share more about my Creative Career Journey with you. Many Creative Journeys take a while to come together, so, I'd like to share the information with you in a few Posts as they do come together in a series of wonderful events.
As a result, you'll receive several pieces of the Creative Journey as we go ahead & remember to join in the fun when I share my affiliate links. It was because of someone who cared enough about me, that I can now help you to become interested in a Creative Career.
There really is no short cuts when it comes to building a Creative Career, but there certainly is a better way of doing it.
With a set plan, a step-by-step guide & the dream of creating the perfect life you've always wanted, it can be done.
Looking back at the “This is Maggie” Collection, I can only tell you today that we need to follow our hearts when it comes to the things we are passionate about. Anything else will take you off your purpose & leave you feeling empty. I used my memories of my Gran's garden & her love for tending to things so carefully as a starting point for my design career.
Developing your signature style can take some time, but beyond that, the basic steps-by-step strategies become the groundwork for our creative journeys simply because everything begins to line up! Today I'll share just these simple steps with you because we all have to begin somewhere & it must be easy, right?
Step 1. Beginner Skills
I wasn’t even able to use a PC properly, let alone working on programs like Adobe Illustrator. I had to learn how to create digital work, make repeating patterns, discover industry secrets all the while feeling utterly frustrated by my lack of skills. I had a small amount Photoshop knowledge, but not enough to call myself a designer yet, i could change colour hues of photographs, that's it.
Andso, one morning I decided to sign up. What I found was the huge difference a great courses can make in a Creative Career. Diving into building my skills was the best leap forward in the creative career direction & everything Bonnie taught was spot on.
Step 2. Finding a mentor with a supportive community
Finding a teacher, you can deeply connect to, means you’ll invest your time into someone who is truly going to show you the way. Some of my all-time favourite courses are from Bonnie Christine. Finding Bonnie was a turning point in my life & one of the most important career moves I’ve ever made.
She is now my favourite mentor & as we are becoming friends through her amazing community, I feel like I’m beginning to belong somewhere.
You know, belonging to a caring community of friends that share a heartfelt passion where we are all succeeding in something unique is indeed rare. I don’t think I could have done this alone, & in a group like Bonnie's community, you are always taken care of by a TEAM OF EXPERTS who have done it all before!
Step 3. Create an additional income stream
Adding additional income was such an eye opener. From hobby to side hustle & now a full time Creative Career. Need I say more???
Step 4. Show your creativity
Showing your creativity to the world is hard. Bonnie actually boosted my confidence in a big way through the interactions in the community, the availability of resources & a willingness to share all the secrets without holding back anything.
As soon as I implemented every step Bonnie teaches, I quickly learned how important it is to share our creative work. For me, the opportunity to be filmed by the Colour in Your Life TV Show was one such incident where I applied the skills & received results! Wow!!!
All it took was those “10 second of courage” to send out an email. There is something really magical about showing yourself in the world & it opens up doors in a big way.
There is certainly a whole lot of “ONE THINGS” that come together, so hang out with us in the Secrets to Success Workshop to see & feel if you could connect with Bonnie too. I knew I was hooked, even before I knew what my creativity was going to evolve into…
Keep in mind that the links for the Secrets to Success will expire soon, so you’ll have to jump on there right away. I’ve already joined & just know that she is always sharing so much more that what we can read in descriptions. Bonnie is going to share big time!! Especially since I don’t know what questions she is going to answer in any of the live calls.

The best way to learn something new, is to completely immerse yourself in it; in the methods, the offerings & in the communities who have stood in the same place as you when they began. It’s also the best way to learn your art & discover what you can add to reach new highs.
We can talk about our big goals all day long (or for months, like I did!), but without fully immersing ourselves in the lessons, the processes or into the industry mentors’ mindsets, it’s hard to move the needle closer to our dream Creative Careers without a plan...
“I often felt pulled in so many different directions with rolling ideas that went nowhere. My artwork remained a creative mess for many years.
Before I met Bonnie, I mostly spent my days making random videos & fumbling around in my Sketchbooks. Now I have a Self-Published Sketchbook Journal, three complete Fabric & Wallpaper Collections being pitched to various companies with a well-structured Portfolio. I’m very proud of my Creative Career into Art, Surface Pattern Design & Education.
It took just one click to reach the pinnacle of what I described here today & that leap of courage took just 10 seconds of bravery!
Be brave today. Be bold & have a real belief in your talents. Be true to your voice & don’t let self-sabotage ruin your chances any more. Be good to yourself & bring your career into the realms of major success today!
