Paper to Profits Mastermind: Grow Your Creative Business in 6 Weeks

If you're an artist or creative entrepreneur, you probably know this feeling well: working tirelessly alone, wondering if you're making the right choices, second-guessing yourself, and feeling stuck somewhere between your passion and the pressure to make a living.

I know it, too.

That's why Sara Kim, Jessie Chui, and I, Quynh Nguyen, created Paper to Profits: The Mastermind: a place where you no longer have to walk this road.

Paper to Profits isn't just another course or business program. It's a weekly gathering where creative people like you come together for encouragement, clarity, and a reminder that what you're building matters.

More than anything, the weekly meetings make the real difference. Here's why:

Community: The Kind You Didn't Know You Needed

As we shared on the Paper Talk Podcast:

"When you're an artist or a creative, you're working alone, you think you're the only one with that problem. But when you come into your community, and you're like, oh my gosh, she's going through it too..."

That realization — that you're not alone — is powerful.

Each week inside Paper to Profits: The Mastermind, you'll meet with a small circle of peers who understand exactly the loneliness that you're experiencing. They're working through the same struggles, chasing similar dreams, and cheering you on.

Rather than feeling isolated, you'll find a community that lifts you, offers fresh perspectives, and pushes you to reach higher every week.

Real-Time Feedback and Breakthroughs

During our 90-minute live sessions, you'll have time to ask questions, work through challenges, and learn from real experiences — both your own and those of others.

One of our past students put it best:

"You get to hear what other people are having problems with, their challenges, and how they overcame it. That's the key part of the takeaways." (Ep 167, Paper Talk Podcast)

This isn't passive learning. Active growth shifts you from spinning your wheels to moving forward confidently and purposefully.

Shortcut Your Success — Avoid Wasting Years

When Sara, Jessie, and I started our businesses, we Learned everything the hard way—through trial and error and many tough lessons. We weathered recessions, personal life changes, economic shifts, and platform upheavals.

Looking back, I sometimes wish someone had handed me a roadmap.

As Sara said, "If you could have a guide that already went through it for you — why not?" (Ep 167, Paper Talk Podcast)

That's precisely what we've built.

Every week, you'll have the chance to learn from our collective experience — so you can move faster, avoid common mistakes, and start seeing real progress sooner.

Practical, Real-World Learning for Today's Creative Economy

The creative world keeps evolving. What worked even two years ago might not work today. Paper to Profits focuses on what's happening now — not outdated advice.

Each live session dives into topics like:

• Setting up multiple income streams (like licensing, teaching, and digital products)
• Building and growing a brand that feels true to you
• Navigating collaborations and sponsorships
• Creating and selling digital courses
• Pricing your work with confidence
• Marketing authentically without feeling cringy

You'll get more than just theory — you'll walk away with templates, examples, and fundamental strategies you can use immediately.

Accountability That Moves You Forward

It's one thing to read a business book or take a course.

Having a weekly space is another where you're expected to show up, share progress, and overcome obstacles with a group that genuinely cares about your success.

Each weekly meeting will help you:

• Set clear goals
• Stay accountable
• Troubleshoot challenges
• Celebrate wins, big and small

As I said recently, "You want to make money? Do you want to support your family? Do you want to make your life better? That's why Paper to Profit exists." (Ep 167, Paper Talk Podcast)

It's about showing up for your future — one week at a time.

Learn From Guest Experts — Expand Your Toolbox

Throughout the program, we'll invite expert guest speakers during our "off weeks" to dive deeper into specialty topics, such as content creation, YouTube growth, artist tax strategies, and more.

These aren't generic talks. They're real-world lessons that can help you leap forward faster.

Built by Artists, for Artists

Paper to Profits: The Mastermind isn't a cookie-cutter business course.

It's a program built by creative entrepreneurs — Sara, Jessie, and me — who know what it feels like to be where you are. We've walked the lonely road, faced the doubts, and found ways to build thriving businesses without sacrificing our creativity or authenticity.

We know the mental battles, the highs and lows, and the moments when you wonder if you can keep going.

And we also know the pride and fulfillment that come when you keep building anyway.

We built this program for people like you and the person we each were when we first started.

Your Transformation Starts Here

Imagine where you could be six weeks from now:

• With a clear roadmap guiding your next steps
• Surrounded by creatives who lift you every week
• Tackling challenges you once thought impossible
• Feeling like the CEO and the artist of your own life

That's what Paper to Profits: The Mastermind is about.

Because it's not just about learning — it's about belonging, building, and becoming the creative entrepreneur you're meant to be.
