I just confirmed with the performers and all agreed to the times I laid out. Our second show will be awesome, as the membership saw what was possible.

Family, This is your chance to set the tone for your growth in the Poetry Business Institute. 👉 Which module are you focusing on this week?👉 What’s ONE action you’re committed to completing by Sunday — a reel, a quiz, or a “Mark As Done” streak?

Drop your plan in the comments ⬇️ and let’s hold each other accountable. 🔥 Example: “I’m on Module 2. This week I’ll finish 3 lessons, post 2 reels, and complete the quiz.” Let’s get it! 🚀

I’ll be teaching poets at the Tellem Festival how to create an income and a career with their poetry in the Netherlands. 🎤💼 This is what the Poetry Business Network is all about — taking poetry beyond the page and stage, and turning it into opportunity, impact, and sustainability. Stay tuned for updates from overseas — this is just the beginning. 🌍🔥

Yesterday I performed my signature poem for my business (Sculpted Roses Company) the first time in person. It was received well🌹synopsis: we are all roses…meaning we can be successful or beautiful no matter the circumstance…like the rose, rose from the concrete, or dead rose…ie bloom where you’re planted 💯 The best part was a boy about 9 or 10 came up to me right after I finished my set and said he enjoyed my poetry 🥹🥹

My name is Andrea Mai. I've written 18 books across many genres. Two are poetry collections, and another, the book I'm beginning to make connections with companies around is titled The Calm Way: 365-Day Journey Out of the Weeds & Into the Wilds of True Inner Freedom. I write and work with people to deconstuct stories we tell ourselves in order to live as conscious creators. Inner and outer communication. This summer I've been consolidating my many projects into a more flowing system. Aside from writing and publishing, I founded Writers of Light and Pure Light Bookshoppe (the online shop is in the early days). I never intended or dreamed of speaking in front of large groups, yet this year this opened up quite serendipitously. Thanks for reading.
