Your time.
Your energy.
Your money.

If you want to thrive in today’s world, you must be able to use these resources efficiently and effectively.

That’s what I’m here to help creative people (like you!) do…

…to learn how to thrive.
…to learn how to move your career forward faster.
…to learn how to earn a living doing what you love.

My passion is helping you pursue your passion. My goal is to improve the way smart, talented, creative people approach the living of their lives. To realize this goal…

…I have created 2 resources for you: a book and a seminar on DVD. Both are packed from start to finish with useful, clear guidance and both are priced to make this guidance incredibly affordable.

The book is:
Feeding Your Focus: How creative people can move forward faster and achieve sustained success.

The seminar on DVD is:
Until You Ditch Your Day Job: How to use the time you have to build the acting career you want.

Will either of these products will be a smart investment for you?

That’s a great question – here are a few more:

• Despite genuine effort and hard work, are you still just inching toward your goals?
• Does it feel like you are drifting along week by week, just doing whatever happens to come your way?
• Are you starting out on your journey and concerned about avoiding the potholes and speed bumps that may lie ahead?
• Have you established a foothold in your field, reached a plateau, and now need a way to boost yourself to the next level – or start a new venture entirely?

If any of these situations ring true, then you are similar to many of the artists, writers, performers, non-profit leaders, musicians, self-employed professionals, and other creative clients who have come to me for help, like…

…Robin who was becoming unnerved by the numerous unfinished projects that constantly loomed over her. She admitted it took her five months just to get her last set of headshots taken and reproduced because she agonized over each decision that had to be made along the way…

…Colleen and Walt a couple who woke up one day and suddenly noticed that their office, which seemed to have ample room when they first moved in, now felt cramped and awkward. Colleen’s career had expanded considerably and she was spending more and more time on their computer and her stuff was covering more and more of the desk and floor space…

… Caroline who showed no dismay at all when I pulled open one of her kitchen drawers and found it full of unopened bank statements…

Let me share with you how I helped these clients – and let me teach you how you can help yourself.

Tell me more about the book, Feeding Your Focus.

Tell me more about the seminar on DVD, Until You Ditch Your Day Job.

Hmmmm…

I know some people worry they will pay for guidance that will turn out to be completely unhelpful. But the real concern should be that you will pay for fabulous advice that you never take action on. For the truth is this: your life is changed, for better or for worse, not by the advice you get, but by the advice you decide to take and put into action.

But what if you chose NOT to take effective action to improve your current situation?

Then you probably will continue as you are right now… moving at the same speed, getting many of the same results. After all, how can you expect to thrive if you are living in an environment that drains rather than supports you? How much more of your time, energy, and money – not to mention joy – will be lost because of unfinished projects or overwhelming piles of paper, or anxiety about connecting with other people?

Considering the value of your gifts and the positive impact those gifts can make in your life and in this world, learning how to strengthen your foundation and feed your focus is definitely one of the best investments you will ever make in yourself and in your career.

Let me help you get where you want to go.

Best wishes always,

Kristine

Feeding Your Focus delivers expert guidance to help you in each of the four areas critical to your success:

• developing a focus and a strategic plan
• creating an efficient home office
• maintaining organized finances
• knowing how to network effectively (and understanding why you are doing it in the first place!)

This book is a distillation of the organizing and career strategy insights I have gained while helping clients throughout the last 10 years – as well as lessons I have learned from my own trials and mistakes.

Ask yourself – would you benefit from knowing

• how to protect your passion create momentum
• how to make choices when all of your options seem equally good
• the fastest way to organize your home office area (no matter how big or how small) – in only eight simple steps
• how to untangle your financial life with a quick monthly routine
• how to set goals and make plans even if your schedule is wildly unpredictable
• how to network effectively (when you’d much rather flee from the room!)

When you order, here’s what you’ll receive:

• the unabridged audio of the book – 8 hours of me coaching you on 8 CDs
• the complete text of the book on CD ROM (compatible with Macs and PCs) – you can read the whole book or just print out the notes you need
• a resource appendix with my most highly recommended books, websites, and other resources
• supplementary photos, templates, and instructions
• complementary shipping

“OK. This is insane. Kristine Oller is giving you way too much stuff for whatever she’s charging. This isn’t one great information package, it’s 4 great packages in one. Oller exceeds the useful-information-baseline in organizing your finances (with both carrots and sticks that even the most hardcore personal finance analyst can benefit from), getting your home office in ship shape, and even how to take complete and full advantage of all those parties you go to where you wish you could network better. It’s insane because any one of these 4 sections could easily stand on their own, and be worth more than what you’ll pay for the whole shebang. Run, don’t walk to get this kit before the world finds out how great Feeding Your Focus really is, and she runs out of stock.”

“David Lawrence is completely right – the current price is a steal. However, I do appreciate the price. That leaves me more money to organize and build my new business. Yes, you are helping me through a huge transition in my life, so thank you. You took my organizing to a whole different level. I’m usually really good at it but the benefit of having someone with your experience guide me through makes things so much easier and dynamic – with both of us working on the project at the same time, it’s so much fun. My desk is amazing and the paper flow system is right on time! I love looking at empty or almost empty “active” and “inactive” paper bins, it’s a high. Your CD series is excellent and I have been recommending it to others.”

WARNING: this seminar is NOT:
“…well, first you need to get good headshots…”
(That’s basic how-to-get-started-in-the-biz-stuff that you can find in many other places.)

What WE will be talking about is:
“I have great headshots and a limited a amount of hours each week to devote to getting work as an actor, how do I maximize the hell out of them to move my career forward faster?”

I hear you! I spent most of my twenties working hard to build my acting career.

Do you know what kind of actor I was? A typical one.

“Typical” in that I believed once I had more time or more energy or more money (and less stress!) surely then I would make more progress in my career.

But here’s what I’ve learned since then: That assumption is NOT TRUE.

That myth was busted for me when I started to work with clients who had plenty – and I mean plenty – of time, energy, and money at their disposal and yet they were hiring me because they were stuck.

Why were they stuck?

Because there is one special element that you must have for success besides time, energy and money. Without that element, I could give you all the resources in the world and, eventually, you would end up stuck, frustrated, and spinning your wheels.

Don’t worry, we’ll definitely talk about that special element!

We will also talk about:

• Why your entire career pursuit boils down to just 3 sheets of paper
• How to advance with only $5 and one hour a week to spend on your career
• What happens if you never cross the chasm
• The only two things that truly matter to an agent
• The bucket of ice water I recommend dumping on your head
• and more!

I have listened to hundreds of actors – heard their struggles and given them this guidance. For the smart, ambitious actors who have taken this strategy and applied it, it has always yielded exciting, measurable, satisfying results!

“With your gentle and insightful guidance, my years of wheel spinning and working hard (but not smart) has been replaced by tools and techniques that are creating sustainable momentum and growth. What had seemed forever out of reach is now, not only possible, but is happening. Thanks!”

Phil Kauffman
actor / director

“I have begun listening to this course and WOW – I have to say, this book is incredible! Kristine is truly gifted and, at $137, this product is a STEAL. I think this may be the single greatest product I have ever seen for talent. Note: She doesn’t teach you how to be a voice talent (that’s what most of us teach); what she does is a terrific job of teaching you how to run your business. If you’ve ever walked into your voice over office and asked yourself, “Now what do I do?” this is the product for you.”

– Julie Williams, publisher of The VoiceOver Insider

“I am on CD#3 and I can’t wait to get back into my car. I am not surprised, but overwhelmed by your talent, wisdom, and power in the audio book – you sound experienced and hip at the same time. And the breadth of the info is provided with humor and compassion. So important for us embarrassed clutterbugs. I’ve already had some “ah ha moments” – like realizing that I AM organized – just messy. Comforting, actually. I am looking forward to finishing the book and listening to it over again.

– Nancy Kern, artist / mom

“I’ve finally been able to listen to your amazing CD set. Congratulations. This is a wonderful resource filled with smart ideas and concise guidance. You’ve clearly identified the actions we need to take to make well-rounded progress. I’ll be recommending it to my students and network and, of course, implementing a lot of good advice.”

– Bryan Bellomo, actor / teacher

“Feeding Your Focus is definitely geared for artists. I’ve gotten a lot out of it, especially the first two parts: Focus & Strategy and Home Office Efficiency. Anyone who has difficulty finalizing goals is likely to find the Focus & Strategy info thought-provoking, practical, and helpful. I’m just now starting the 4th part on Networking and it too has quality information that starts from where I am (and awkward networker) and provides good info on moving forward. Kristine has good things to say!”

– Susanna Levitt, actor

“This is wonderful information! Feeding Your Focus helps those who may be struggling to get started by explaining the foundations for several areas that are critical to success. I found myself taking copious notes and listened to the CD’s while reading along with the text. This helped reinforce the actions described in the book. After listening to all of the chapters, I feel I am better prepared to pursue my dreams. Several times throughout the book, I was so encouraged that I stopped the CD and began to identify my goals or organize my office!”

– as reviewed for the April 2008 issue of The VoiceOver Insider by Tanya Schoenwolf, voice talent

“Kristine Oller has written a gem. Feeding Your Focus gives you tools you can and will use to change your thinking and organize each part of your professional life. More than just a beautifully written and well-produced book is included in this CD package; inside is Ms. Oller’s heart and soul. I found myself laughing out loud at some points, especially those that seems as though she had written them with me personally in mind. Her voice and message convey warmth and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed as a professional in a creative field, such as voice acting. I loved this book and I have already begun implementing many of the steps Ms. Oller outlines. This book is what I needed to propel my career forward and assist me in achieving my dreams.”

– as reviewed for the April 2008 issue of The VoiceOver Insider by Elisa Weller, voice talent

“I’d recommend this book for any creative type to help with organizing and building their business and personal focus. Kristine’s references to her own life as an actor in Los Angeles helped me relate to her, and her voice over delivery felt personable and sincere – topped with a bit of sass and class.”

– as reviewed for the April 2008 issue of The VoiceOver Insider by Bobbin Beam, voice talent

“It became a fight with my experiences to give this audio book a chance – my impulse being to brush it off as just another hymnal of chiched “Duh” wisdoms. She’s going to tell me how to be creative AND organized? Can you be both? But this book really does have merit. I found her offering mind-opening realizations about my life that I should have thought of on my own… but didn’t. She really knows the problems of a disorganized, driven professional. She really knows good networking techniques. Kristine Oller will inspire you to direct your energy towards those things which give life to your future.”
