Alexis Fedor: Five Fundamental Tools For A Thriving Business The sense of overwhelm that often comes with running a business based in your passions and skills can feel daunting to say the least, especially when your mind is focused on the creative side of your work. However, having some fundamental tools you can put into place to help alleviate overwhelm and help you make the decisions you need to move forward in the ways that feel right for you and your art can prove irreplaceable to you and the life of your business.

There are two distinct sides to running a business: the creative side, which includes your work, your message and the content through which you share your message with the world, and the technical side, which includes your personal and business finances, the structure of your business and everything that is needed to build that structure.

Usually, when we first start a business, especially as artists, we are steeped in the creative side, passionately involved in bringing new creations to life. Most small businesses begin with an idea we know we must share with the world, so we nurture the spark of passion we have into a fire we can share with others.

The problem we run into while in this state of creation is switching over to the technical side while we are in the creative part of our brains, especially in terms of building a business for the first time.

But there is a simple remedy for this, which is what we discuss in today’s episode.

Working with Alexis helped give me the clarity I needed to target my goals and create a solid foundation so that I could begin to THRIVE as an artist/ entrepreneur. She was the missing link I needed to help bridge my ideas into reality. Not only is she extremely kind and patient but most importantly… she knows her stuff! I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to work with her and I know you’ll be too! Take the leap to the next level!

Fiona Bates, Actor
Alexis is one of the greatest listeners I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her ability to listen leads to her offering intuitive and enlightening advice for your business and your life, opens doors you didn’t know were possible or wouldn’t have otherwise known were there! While working with Alexis, I experienced monumental shifts in my thinking every single week, giving me more clarity and confidence as an artist and as a business person.

Jillian Walker, Actor/Musician/Entrepreneur/Thought Leader
Working with Alexis, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel much more hopeful for the future, because now I know exactly what steps I need take to change my financial situation. Now I understand that only I can make my financial situation better by taking action right now and that my acting career will absolutely benefit from the energy I put into being more lucrative by taking the steps Alexis helped me discover. Her positive encouragement was essential to this process, she was always very supportive and responsive to any questions I had. I’m so thankful I was introduced to Alexis, it sounds cheesy, but honestly, she helped me change my life for the better.

Bonnie White, Actor
Alexis Fedor is a consummate professional with the uncanny capacity to understand what your business’ needs are before you even know them yourself. Beyond diagnosis, she is able to structure systems to help you meet those needs in manageable, sustainable ways. Plus, she is the dearest, kindest creature on the planet- be ready for an enjoyable and productive ride!

Caley Vickerman, Guerilla Haiku
Alexis edited my e-book PURGED, The Literal Regurgitation of an Anorexic Bulimic. I was instantly comfortable with her, feeling confident that she valued my work and had my best interests at heart. Her nature is very nurturing and gentle which were necessary for me as PURGED is an extremely personal and often difficult story to tread through. Alexis was aware and sensitive to this. She helped turn my coherent, although disorganized, written thoughts into a piece of work that I was proud to publish.

Shane K. Rotkis, Author
Resourceful and sophisticated, Alexis has cutting edge knowledge of social media opportunities and can tailor a strategy accordingly. I fully recommend her.

Alexis Fedor understands the fundamentals of building a successful business. She cut her teeth on trial + error and by taking risks and diving into the backcountry of the entrepreneurial world. Her expertise is hard sought and her accomplishments well earned. I’ve had the privilege of stepping behind the scenes. Trust me – you will be dazzled.

Janice Hoffmann, Project Coach/Field guide/Creator of Creative Trails
I learned more about business development, online marketing and social media in one hour with Alexis than I had on my own for four years. I trusted her immediately, for good reason. I hired her immediately for my clients, and we were thrilled with the results.

Roger Webster, Webster Light Grant Communications
Alexis has wit, charm and confidence that comes from understanding how a business needs to operate. It is from this place that she creates business plans that align with your goals as a company ready to grow. Stick with her. She will help you turn your business around with precision and grace.

Alison West, Owner, Yoga Union NYC
Alexis’ energy precedes her when she walks into a room. To know her is a gift. To work with her is good news for your spirit and your business. She has both sides of the brain working in all the right ways.
