Stop Waiting for a Seat. Build Your Own Table.
You don’t have to wait for someone to give you an opportunity. You can create your own.
You already have something valuable—perhaps a book, business, skill, creative idea, audience, knowledge, or years of experience.
The question is:
How do you turn what you already have into more opportunities, more products, and additional streams of income?
Building Your Own Table: The Strategy shows you how.
Award-winning author, entrepreneur, and executive producer Iris Bolling shares the strategies she has used to build an independent creative business around her books, intellectual property, knowledge, and audience.
You’ll learn how to stop looking at each thing you’ve created as a separate project—and start seeing how your assets can work together.
This Workshop Is For You If…
- You have created something but aren’t sure what to do with it next.
- You’re an author who wants your books to generate more than book sales.
- You have knowledge or skills people would pay to learn.
- You want to create additional income streams without abandoning what you already do.
- You have a website, audience, brand, or intellectual property but aren’t fully monetizing it.
- You’re tired of waiting for someone else to open the door.
- You want a strategy for turning your existing assets into new opportunities.
You Don’t Need to Have It All Figured Out.
You just need to be willing to look at what you already have differently.
