I am so glad you are here – if you clicked to read this post, then you are curious about what this is all about. Before I give you some details, I want to tell you a quick story about my own journey with Masterminds.
I had never heard of a Mastermind until my husband spoke of them in reference to entrepreneurship. He basically described what it was with this definition:
Mastermind groups offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your business and personal skills. A Mastermind group helps you and your Mastermind group members achieve success. -thesuccessalliance.com

Then I started to see the word all over the place and I was intrigued. Shortly thereafter Emily Jeffords launched her Mastermind for a year together between 2018-2019. I applied, crossed my fingers, and did a little secret prayer because I really wanted to be a part of it. I still don’t really understand how or why I got in, but I did and it is easily the single-most important step I took in my business to date.
It was around that time that I started to understand the importance of learning from other creatives, taking online classes, and being in community with other women. I began to invest in opportunities that would put me in contact with other people. I can say, with total confidence, that all of those choices have more than paid off. They have propelled my business forward in so many ways.
I couldn’t have done it alone.
As I move Atwater Designs into FULL-TIME status I am excited to invite a group of artists/makers/entrepreneurs that are specifically product-based into a space together that will result in business growth and friendship among many other things. This group will consist of people that see that investing in their businesses makes a huge difference in terms of meeting goals and achieving your success (whatever that means to you and if you aren’t quite sure, figuring that out will be a big part of our journey together!)
If this sounds interesting to you, sign up to get my artist emails, below. This is a new list so even if you get my newsletters, please sign up to be notified about the Mastermind and other offerings for artists. I’m so excited to go on this journey with you.
