Recently I participated in one of my favorite programs for creative entrepreneurs—Tools of the Trades in Philly!

I led a 3pts workshop called “Let’s Solve It” where we tackled real marketing challenges, shared ideas, and supported each other with advice and strategy. It’s all about building a braintrust—leveraging our collective experience to solve our collective problems.

Big thanks to everyone who showed up, shared honestly, and helped each other grow. And major love to NextFab and CraftNOW Philadelphia for making this conference such a gem.

“I love the 3pts Newsletter. I’ve been a subscriber for years, and it’s one of my favorite things to read on a Tuesday morning. It’s short, to the point, and always delivers something valuable—whether it’s a small insight to get me through the day as a business owner or a simple mindset shift that makes a big difference. Plus, it tells you exactly how long it’ll take to read (a small but genius touch). We all sign up for a million newsletters, but this is one you’ll actually want to open.”

Connect, Understand, Help.

When I reflect on the last 20 years of my life that’s what it’s always been about.

I pursued worked in music, entertainment, culture and media because I was obsessed with the opportunity to build a career in those fields. But looking back I now understand that it was truly about connecting with and helping creatives in those spaces.

Because helping passionate creatives is my passion. I love using my mind, skills, abilities and network to help them accomplish their goals.

Nothing makes me feel better than solving a problem for someone, creating order, taking weight off of their shoulders and being of support any way possible.

Understand the need, study it and solve it. That’s how I work. There’s art in administration and I love the hustle of identifying and/or creating solutions for others.

When people ask me what I do I simply say “I’m a resource.” I want to be a dynamic resource that helps people overcome their biggest challenges. This is why I say that 3pts is a “platform.”

In our work to provide confidence, clarity and direction to creatives we use an array of mediums to meet people where they’re at. Workshops, 1:1 support, masterminds, newsletters, social content and recently our newest offering 3pts Co-op. Whatever the means I care most about getting results for people.

Since starting up in early 2021 I’ve strived to be intentional about what I say yes too for the business. My priority has been getting out into the field to help and learn from people. To gain a point of view that informs the brand.

I ignored the pressure to make the business what it wasn’t. It needed time to grow. Since 2021 I’ve used a google slides deck as my “website.” I didn’t create a 3pts Instagram until early 2023. This methodical approach has given me space to figure things out one step at a time while learning from the creatives I serve.

And on that note we’re finally at the step of having a real website. I love this website! And the reason is because I didn’t try and force one when the business wasn’t really ready for it. But now it is.

The site represents a new chapter for 3pts, one that reflects our growth and recommits to the mission that’s been at the heart of everything we do: empowering creatives to build sustainable, thriving businesses around their passions.

This site was built with you in mind. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, community connection, or personalized guidance, our goal is to make finding what you need as seamless and approachable as possible.

We’re also excited to use this platform to connect with you in new ways. This blog will be your go-to source for ideas and insights that make the business side of creativity manageable—and dare we say, enjoyable.

We’re so grateful to have you as part of the 3pts community, and we can’t wait to continue growing with you. Explore the new site, check out the blog, share your feedback, and, as always, let us know how we can better support you. Here’s to the amazing things ahead!

With gratitude and excitement,

Kim & The 3pts Team
