Testimonials
"It was a revelation. This course takes you by the hand and accompanies you step by step into the beautiful world of art. You will be part of a group that will support you, and will help you with the most varied experiences. I was lucky to be part of it and I would do it again a thousand more times."
"This class is excellent! Brooke is AMAZING! I am learning so much about my art, myself and how I can make a living from my art.
The videos are great and the content has tons of information. I love having the book at the same time I watch the video. It is so helpful and well done! Brooke is always there to guide and support us. She is always there to answer our questions. She is 100% present with her bubbly personality which is so refreshing.
The discord group is such a fun way to connect with people. We can talk, share and learn from each other. It is a great community made up of great people!" -Anonymous Student
"Since participating, I have submitted my work and have been accepted for 3 online galleries, displayed at 3 locations, published work in a book and a magazine, and been awarded a seal from MPI."
- Maureen Denny
"The course taught me not only how to create and to present my portfolio, but also helped me think about the strategies and structures my business needs. I learned about marketing, and the most important thing is that I have learned how to be confident about my work. I sent my information to galleries and now have representation."
- Gabriela Segura
"She shares information both theoretical and practical; the practical nitty-gritty stuff about pricing, where to find resources, how to access and present your style, how to tell a story with your photography and how to actually DO any number of things that are often left out of other courses."
- Amy Helmick
FAQ
Why is this course being sold at a higher rate than your previous classes?
- The workbook, templates, and other downloads are more thorough and actionable.
- It's the most detailed and comprehensive class I've assembled on the subject of business.
- This is the first class I've funded and distributed myself, incurring higher costs and risk.
- I've been developing this content since 2019 and spent 2020 beta-testing it.
How long will I have access to the course?
This is a lifetime-access course.
Do I need to have a business to take this course?
No. The methods outlined here worked for me when I started out with nothing, and still work for me now that I've had a successful business for more than 10 years.
How long will the course take me to complete?
I recommend taking at least 2 months to finish so that you have enough time to complete the workbook and implement changes as you go. That's just a recommendation, though! It could very well take you more or less time, as the class is self-guided. It takes the majority of people 6 months to a year.
Will Impact in Focus teach me photography or Photoshop?
No, but you can check out my other online courses if that's what you're looking to learn.
How long do I have to register?
Registration closes on Oct 3, 2022 and will not open again until 2023.
Tell me about Discord.
By registering for the course, you will be invited to join a private Discord channel. Discord is an app that allows participants to chat about relevant topics, work through difficult exercises, and help each other. There's also a video chat room there where we can interface visually. In the past, students have benefited in enormous ways from having a space to share with one another and it has become a favorite space among students.
What are your qualifications?
My business has steadily earned my family's income for 12 years, and I built my business from the ground up using all the methods outlined here. They didn't just work on a fluke, they worked time and time again.
I am an international speaker and educator, and I'm represented by five galleries worldwide. My images have been featured in hundreds of publications, on book covers and album art, and I've been commissioned by companies like Sony, Microsoft, Warner Music, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and more.
I'm on the fence. Try to tip me.
Actually, I don't want to tip you. I want you to feel called to push your business forward in a way you never have before. There's a 30-day money back guarantee, and a 6-month payment plan. I'm here to give you everything - EVERYTHING - that I can to help you do that. But you have to want it for yourself...
...but perhaps I may be cheeky and say: I really hope you'll join us.
Why do you only open registration once a year?
Though the course is self-guided, we will participate in group Zoom calls, both Q&A style as well as with guest speakers. It is helpful for the group to be organized for better communication and comradery in our Discord group, too.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! You may choose a 6-month plan.
One last testimonial...
"Enrolling into Brooke's course was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my art. Both on a personal and business level. I know it may seem like a lot of money but that was such a valuable investment for me.
The truth is that Brooke is not just positive or inspiring, warm or supportive, she is also a true giver, which means she never retains any piece of advice or information. I got all the answers I needed and much more. She didn't only help me to precisely discover where and what I want to be, she also showed me how valid it was and HOW TO GET THERE, pragmatically.
Since I took that course, my vision is much clearer, I can efficiently focus on my goals without questioning them. Brooke truly wants you to succeed and believe me it makes a huge difference. If you're ready to embrace your new path as a sustainable and self-assured artist, don't think twice, I don't see how you could regret it."
