Hi Reader!

Today is the artist’s J.D.’s 11th birthday. And to celebrate I’m announcing the first installment in a new series: For Real.

This edition will be the “Do I Need a Permit for This?”

It’s a 5-day supportive challenge to help you figure out which permits, licenses, and registrations you actually need — and what you can skip.

No law degree required. Just what you need to know, right now.

Because we all know more than once, you’ve Googled, “Do I need a license for this?” And then immediately closed the tab because, you didn’t even know where to start.

This is for you if you:

• have turned your creative work into a business (or you’re just about to), but you’re holding back because something legal feels…fuzzy
• are worried about making a mistake or missing something important
• have Googled this before and felt even more confused after
• want to do things the right way — but not in a 6-hour rabbit hole kind of way

If that’s you, I built this for you.

You + Permits = BFFs (sort of)

How the 5-day challenge will work:

• Starting May 5th you’ll get daily bite-sized lessons via email + inside the artist’s Courtyard.
• Specific breakdowns on things like: business licenses, sales tax, DBAs, fire permits, and other creative-biz-specific requirements.
• No fear-mongering. No confusing legal speak. Just your friendly legal eagle and a group of creative folks like you

You have two options to join the challenge.

• Option 1: Get full access to the 5-day challenge, live session, and resources for $67.
• Option 2: Join the artist’s Courtyard for $45/month and get the challenge included, plus:
  • Ongoing access to legal resources, courses, and templates
  • Future challenges to help you take action and solidify your legal foundation
  • Weekly live sessions for personalized support

No matter which route you choose, you’ll get full access to the challenge content inside the artist’s Courtyard and support during the challenge.

Once you sign up, you’ll get access to the challenge portal and a welcome email from me with all the next steps.

Your creativity deserves to be taken seriously.

And that starts with setting things up for real.

Let me help you do that — with clarity, confidence, and zero legal panic spirals.
