For the last four years, I've hosted a ONE DAY ONLY sale for The Whole Shabang for a seriously discounted price. You guys went berserk scooping it up, every single time. I love a good, well received sale. So much that I've decided to make it a full-on, possibility-fueled tradition.
So, today, friends, is THE DAY. In fact, THIS WEEK is the week! Instead of just one day, we're hosting the sale for a whole week.
And it's HUGE: 50% off!!!!!! Can I get an amen?
I am so proud of this book. So proud.
Let's make 2014 the year your creative biz will soar. Let's start with everything you could ever need to make that dream real. Let's simply begin, one small step at a time.
I WILL NOT be offering it on sale again this year. Now is the time. Get it while you can. You will not be disappointed and once downloaded, it's yours forever.
PS: This is the only ebook comes with membership to the ultra supportive private Facebook group where a community of your fellow ebook Flyers offer ongoing support, resources, and inspiration. This alone is a game changer for you and your creative biz! 
(That's 50% off the regular price!)

You aren't alone.
I know exactly where you’re coming from. Just a few years ago, that was me — sending heartfelt emails out to artists & entrepreneurs I admired. I always wished that there was some way I could access their brains, just for a moment. And that kind of direct-line-of-access is exactly what I want to offer, to you.
It took me half a decade of wondering & wandering (and very hard work) to find answers that worked for me. And now, I’ve bundled up my very-best resources & how-tos … for YOU.
Flying Lessons: The Whole Shabang is a beautifully designed, highly interactive + functional e-book.
Did I mention it's 223 pages? Yes, yes it is. It's parts one, two, and three combined, which means it's packed with information, personal stories of what’s worked for me (and what hasn’t worked - lots of wisdom in those hard earned lessons), links, informative interviews with some of the most knowledgeable people I know, and resources that will save you boatloads of time and money in hours spent researching. And that's just the super short, skinny version. More meat (ahem, fat delicious details) below.
“I cannot believe how much you have covered, the depth and quality of each lesson, and how many ‘tools’ I now have to enable me to soar! Thank you so much Kelly for your generosity, for gifting us with your wisdom.”
It's for anyone who wants to start, grow, or enliven their creative business with smart, soul-based growth strategies.
Whether you’re a beginner, or an accomplished crafter, coach, photographer, artist, writer, or anyone with a big message to share, this e-book will give you concrete information and and empowering inspiration to get you moving toward the direction of your soul-filling mission.
“I’ve taken many workshops and without a doubt your content has far surpassed any of them...you've helped me realize “What am I waiting for?” I’ve got a logo concept going, next is a website redesign and finally to get a blog going. I now know I can do it to. I feel ready. Thank you!”

What is calling you? (Truly)
Because it's not just about building a web presence, marketing like a pro, and building a successful, sustainable income selling your goods.
