Do you want to make connections, to collaborate and to create the business of your dreams in a way that is imaginative, intuitive and inspiring?
Maybe you have an idea or a big project that, while not a business, requires that entrepreneurial spirit to bring it to life.
Have you been searching for a way to stand out from the crowd without selling your soul or swimming out of your depth?
It is exciting and challenging to start, grow and sustain a business. It can also be a steep learning curve, a challenge to maintain momentum and, at times, a little lonely and perhaps technologically frustrating.
What if you could fall in love with your business all over again?
What if you focused more on the parts that are working so that they continue to grow and sustain you?
And what if, you could share in the expertise, experience, skills and support from others who truly want you to succeed?

The Purple Ink Cafe is an imaginative portal that allows you to connect and collaborate from the comfort of your home. Your Creative Edge is a multi-faceted program with a focus on building your business/offerings from the inside out.
It's about gathering ideas from experts during each month’s workshop/training. There are plenty of experts and we will invite those whose style and philosophy align with The Purple Ink Cafe. You will get to measure the information against your own values and personality and integrate what feels right and genuine to you. This will occur during the intimate master mind sessions and deepen in your personal one to one coaching sessions. And of course, you will take action. When the action is coming from your authentic self it will flow easier and attract those who want what you have to offer. That is your creative edge. |

" The company of extraordinary people reminds you of the power of having faith in
your own uniqueness and acting courageously from it"
- Rod Stryker
Why do you need this?
Perhaps you have looked to experts in the past to tell you "how" and then you got stuck because you were trying to do it their way - and their way wasn't your way. Your Creative Edge is built on the premise that you are unique and have something of value to offer. You might be just starting out in business or have been in business for years, but have yet to stand out. You are a soul-o-preneur, maybe a facilitator, a coach, an artist or artisan, a writer, a blogger, or all of these things - who needs the space and structure to take all that you know and and transform it into your way of doing business. A way that works because it is authentically you!
You are a creative, intelligent and passionate woman who wants the most life can bring.
You have a history, a passion, knowledge, a way of creating. You have things that you are good at; things to contribute and things you love.
This program is designed to take all that and foster an intimate, imaginative, intuitive, introvert friendly, idea filled, inspirational, distraction free space for you to reach your goals.
This is your time to make the difference you need to stand out and to shine; to really hone your creative edge and use it to your best advantage.

"I showed up to the Purple Ink Cafe with an "ok, let me get through this so I can go back to hustling for ideas and make dinner" mindset, but left it completely altered. Being in the presence of other creative people seems to ignite the idea fires, and having a sympathetic group who understands your struggle helps you pull the solutions almost from midair. When I was in the Purple Ink Cafe with a few minutes of the group's attention, the ideas started flowing, without all the brain grinding I was sure I would need to do before joining the group. I was energized, enthused, amazed by the alchemy I'd just witnessed...it feels like friggin pixie dust. And the Purple Ink Cafe is just covered in it! Thank you Kathy & Mary for the wonderful group experience, and for reaffirming that this stuff does indeed work, beautifully." |

First Pause - the month of May

Each month in a segment will follow a similar flow:
Week One: A one hour workshop or training
These will be delivered by your facilitators and guest experts. It's also an opportunity for you to lead if you have a skill or expertise that would benefit the group.
Week Two: Individual coaching sessions with a Master Kaizen-Muse™ Creativity Coach
Use this one-to-one time to really focus in on your goals and what you need to meet them. Celebrate what's working and explore strategies to help overcome what's getting in the way
Week Three: A two hour KMI Master Mind™
This is the heart of this program. Here you will dive deep into a specific area of your choice (perhaps furthering what was focused on in your coaching call). A KMI Master Mind™ is a master mind of a different colour. It's process focused and designed to help you build a sustainable momentum toward your goals. The K stands for Kaizen - a proven and effective way to make things happen with ease and joy. The M stands for Muse, to remind us of the creative principles that energize and help you to stand out in a positive way. And the I stands for infused. The alchemy of Kaizen and creative is a powerful force to activate your imagination, your intuition and inspire your to move effortlessly towards your goals.
Week Four: Creative-Work Inspired Play
We will meet for an hour as a group but work on our own. The shared time and space brings a focus and gentle accountability to your work. You will be amazed at how the time flies and what you can accomplish. It definitely provides a momentum surge.
Bonus Week Fives: A Time for purposeful pause and play
These will be delivered by your facilitators and guest experts. It's also an opportunity for you to lead if you have a skill or expertise that would benefit the group.
