If you’re a Christian artist who wants clear direction—what to focus on, what to ignore, and what actually matters right now—this course was created for you.
The Created to Thrive® Essentials Course gives you a focused plan to start creating, sharing, and selling your art with confidence—without overwhelm or guesswork.
This course is designed to help you make a small number of clear, high-impact decisions that unlock momentum.
Inside this course, you’ll gain:
- A clear definition of success for your art in this season so you stop guessing, comparing, or chasing the wrong goals.
- A focused artistic lane you can confidently commit to instead of dabbling, second-guessing, or constantly changing direction.
- A simple way to identify your people—and where to find them so you’re no longer creating and marketing to “everyone” (or no one).
- One clear offer you can stand behind and price with confidence—not apologetically, randomly, or from fear.
- A realistic 90-day plan and daily rhythm that fits your life, your energy, and your actual capacity.
- A simple, repeatable marketing foundation that works with how you’re wired—so it’s sustainable, not draining.
What I’ve Learned After 17 Years of Mentoring Artists
Here’s the truth: Most artists don’t need more information. They need the right information, in the right order, without the fluff.
Most artists aren’t stuck because they’re incapable—they’re stuck because they’ve never been given a clear path.
A lot of courses leave artists with more of a headache than a head start.
That’s why this one is different.
Inside the Created to Thrive Essentials Course, I’ve distilled the most important core principles I’ve taught thousands of artists into a simple, focused pathway that creates real momentum—the kind you can feel.
The kind that makes you say, “Yes… I’m finally moving forward.”
Bite-sized nuggets of truth. Simple activations. Real progress.
This Course is Especially Helpful If…
- You love creating art—but feel stuck when it comes to sharing, selling, or moving forward
- You sense God inviting you to steward your creativity more intentionally in the marketplace, but you’re unsure what that looks like in this season
- You’ve tried videos, posts, or groups to sell your art—and instead of clarity, you feel more confused or overwhelmed
- You don’t need hype & you don’t want pressure
- You just want a clear, simple pathway you can actually follow.
If that sounds like you, this course will feel grounding—not overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Created to Thrive® Essentials Course, the Foundations Course™, the Mentoring Program, and the Mastery Program?
Great question—each serves a distinct purpose in the Created to Thrive ecosystem.
The Created to Thrive® Essentials Course™ is designed to help Christian artists get focused, make clear decisions, and begin creating and selling their art with confidence—without overwhelm.
Essentials focuses on:
- Defining success for your current season
- Choosing a clear artistic lane
- Identifying ideal client
- Creating a clear offer
- Pricing for sales and profit
- Building a simple marketing
- Implementing through a simple 90-day action plan
There is no community and no live coaching—just clear, practical teaching you can move through at your own pace. This is intentional. Essentials is designed to help you focus, decide, and move forward without distraction.
The Foundations Course™ is a discipleship and inner transformation journey.
It focuses on healing, identity, renewing your mind, and removing spiritual and emotional roadblocks that keep artists stuck. Foundations is ideal if fear, shame, perfectionism, or confusion about your calling are the primary obstacles holding you back.
Many artists take Foundations first, then move into Essentials. Others begin with Essentials and return to Foundations later.
Both paths are valid.
The Created to Thrive® Artist Mentoring Program is an ongoing monthly mentoring community.
It’s designed for artists who want continued guidance, weekly coaching, accountability, and support as they grow a sustainable art business over time.
The Mastery Program™ is a 1-year, high-level coaching experience for artists with established or growing businesses who want personalized guidance, advanced strategy, and close mentorship. It is application-only and limited in size.
How long does it take to complete the Created to Thrive® Essentials Course™?
The Essentials Course includes 10 concise lessons and is completely self-paced.
Most artists complete it in 4–6 weeks, but you’re free to move faster or slower depending on your schedule. You’ll have lifetime access, so you can revisit the material as your season evolves.
What Happens After This Course?
Many artists complete Created to Thrive® Essentials™ and stop there—and that’s perfectly fine.
This course is designed to stand on its own and give you everything you need to gain clarity and start building momentum.
However, some artists discover that once they’re clear and moving forward, they want:
- Ongoing guidance
- Weekly coaching and accountability
- Community with other committed artists
- Help refining and expanding what they’ve built
For those artists, Created to Thrive® Essentials naturally becomes the on-ramp to the Created to Thrive® Artist Mentoring Program.
There’s no pressure and no obligation.
You’ll simply be invited to explore it when—and if—you’re ready.
Essentials is complete on its own.
Mentoring is there for continued growth.
What happens after I purchase the course?
Immediately after purchase, you’ll receive a welcome email from support@matttommeymentoring.com with access instructions.
If you don’t see it right away, check your spam or promotions folder.
And if you need help, our support team is happy to assist.
I’m worried I don’t have enough time. Is this course manageable?
Yes—this course was intentionally designed for artists with real lives.
Each lesson is focused and practical. There’s no busywork, no pressure, and no requirement to “keep up” with anyone else. Most artists spend 1–2 hours per lesson, applying what matters and moving on.
Progress, not perfection, is the goal.
Is this course worth the investment?
Only you can answer that—but here’s a helpful question:
What is staying stuck costing you?
The Created to Thrive® Essentials Course isn’t about hype or guarantees.
It’s about removing confusion, helping you make clear decisions, and giving you a realistic path forward.
For many artists, that clarity alone is worth far more than the price of the course—because it saves time, energy, and years of second-guessing.
Will I get personal interaction or coaching in this course?
No—and that’s intentional. Community and coaching are powerful—but they’re most effective after clarity has been established.
The Essentials Course is designed to be simple, focused, and distraction-free. There is no community and no live coaching inside this course.
If you want ongoing interaction, coaching, and accountability, you’ll be invited (never pressured) to explore the Created to Thrive® Artist Mentoring Program after completing Essentials.
I’m not very tech-savvy. Can I still do this?
Absolutely.
The course platform is simple and easy to navigate. If you can click a link and watch a video, you’ll be just fine. And if you ever run into an issue, our support team is here to help.
Do you offer refunds?
All sales are final.
Because this course provides immediate access to all materials and is designed to create clarity through action, we do not offer refunds. We encourage you to read the sales page carefully and choose intentionally.
That said, you’ll have lifetime access, so there’s no rush to finish everything at once.
