Welcome to BizMuz: Empowering Artisans to Thrive
Pronounced: Bizz-Muse 

BizMuz is a network of experienced management consultants, professionals, business owners and entertainment professionals dedicated to helping musicians, comedians, photographers, graphic designers, interior designers, and other creative artisans. With the utmost confidentiality, we offer free consulting to transform your artistic passion into a sustainable business. 


As a former musician with experience in bands, local TV, and commercials, I understand the challenge of balancing creativity with business success. Since 2001, I’ve provided management consulting to architects, engineers, and contractors and many of the same processes we use to help them build new business, works just as well for artisans.

Through BizMuz, I combine my love for the arts with proven business strategies to help you thrive. 


What We Offer

We provide tailored guidance on: 

  • Crafting effective marketing and branding strategies 
  • Pricing your work competitively 
  • Expanding distribution channels and reach 
  • Building valuable industry connections through networking


How It Works

Like a golf instructor refining your swing, we start by assessing your current business practices. I’ve developed a free marketing audit that we can review together, or I can send you a copy to complete at your own pace. We’ll discuss your career goals, identify untapped opportunities, and create a personalized plan to make your passion profitable. 


Success Stories
