🚢 It’s official, I’m setting sail!

I’ll be aboard the Grant Cardone Foundation Celebrity Cruise with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection: a few days of purpose, growth and powerful connections, all in support of education for underserved youth.

What excites me most? The people. Business is built on relationships, and the best ones start when we show up ready to give first.

If you’ll be on board, let’s connect before we sail. 👇

🚢 C’est officiel, je prends le large!

Je serai à bord de la croisière de la Grant Cardone Foundation avec The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection : quelques jours d’impact, de croissance et de connexions puissantes, au profit de l’éducation des jeunes défavorisés.

Ce qui m’enthousiasme le plus? Les gens. Les affaires se bâtissent sur les relations, et les plus belles commencent quand on arrive prêt à donner d’abord.

Vous serez à bord? Connectons-nous avant le départ. 👇

Your talent attracts attention. But attention alone does not build a sustainable career.

To turn interest into opportunity, your audience needs to understand:

✨ what you create;
✨ what makes your approach valuable;
✨ who your work is for;
✨ what they should do next to work with you.

If people admire your work but never buy, book, refer or collaborate, your talent may not be the problem. There may simply be no clear path between discovery and decision.

Review your online presence this week:

Is it immediately clear what you offer?
Is your value expressed in a compelling way?
Are you providing one specific next step?

From Talent to Ownership™ also means learning to turn visibility into relationships, relationships into opportunities and opportunities into lasting assets.

Votre talent attire l’attention. Mais l’attention seule ne bâtit pas une carrière durable.

Pour transformer l’intérêt en occasion, votre public doit comprendre :

✨ ce que vous créez;
✨ la valeur particulière de votre approche;
✨ à qui votre travail s’adresse;
✨ la prochaine action à poser pour travailler avec vous.

Si les gens admirent votre travail sans jamais acheter, réserver, recommander ou collaborer, votre problème n’est peut-être pas votre talent. Il manque peut-être simplement un chemin clair entre la découverte et la décision.

Cette semaine, examinez votre présence en ligne :

Est-il évident de comprendre ce que vous offrez?
Votre valeur est-elle clairement exprimée?
Proposez-vous une prochaine étape précise?

From Talent to Ownership™, c’est aussi apprendre à convertir votre visibilité en relations, vos relations en occasions et vos occasions en actifs durables.

What you see: a post, an interview, an exhibition or a new collaboration.

What you do not see: the unfinished ideas, rehearsals, unanswered emails, adjustments and moments of doubt.

The behind-the-scenes reality of a creative journey is not always polished. Yet this is where you develop the discipline, voice and capacity required to transform your talent into meaningful opportunities.

Every step matters:

✨ documenting your process;
✨ nurturing your relationships;
✨ following up;
✨ organizing your work and assets;
✨ taking time to evaluate your next decision.

Your career is not built only when people are watching. It is built through the consistent actions you take when there is no stage, camera or applause.

That is also what From Talent to Ownership™ means: taking ownership of what happens behind your talent so you can build a career, assets and a legacy that truly belong to you.

I took this photograph in Iqaluit.

A red dress at a door is not décor. It is a question: who is missing, and who is still looking?

The red dress comes from the REDress Project, created in 2010 by Métis artist Jaime Black. She began hanging empty red dresses in public spaces to make visible the absence of the thousands of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered. Red, she was told, is the colour spirits can see, a way of calling our sisters back to be with us.

Her work changed how a whole country looks at an empty dress. That is the power of art: it makes us stop, feel, and remember.

As an artist, I create to keep memory alive.
As a businesswoman, I build so that feeling becomes action. Art opens the door. Business keeps it open.

They are asking to be remembered, asked for, cared for.

Sometimes, one creative opportunity opens the door to many others.

During my residency at Le Labo for “La peur du noir,” I met director Dyana Ouvrard. That connection became part of a journey that brought opportunities to participate in activities and interviews, share my art, and speak about my artistic approach.

As an interdisciplinary artist, having space to explore my work mattered. Having opportunities to explain the intentions, questions and experiences behind it added another dimension.

It reminded me that a residency can offer more than time to create. It can become a place to build relationships, exchange ideas and help new audiences discover your work.

I’m grateful to Dyana and Le Labo for being part of that journey.

For fellow artists and creative entrepreneurs, here’s something to consider: when you enter a creative space, share your process, stay curious about others and nurture the relationships that begin there. A conversation can grow into an invitation, a collaboration or a new platform for your voice.

This experience informs the work I do through Black Lantern Coaching™: helping you recognize your value and connect it with opportunities that support your growth.

I just had a powerful conversation with former Washington State Senator Das, and I’m all in.

Mona is building the MOXY Foundation, which funds, coaches, and scales impact-driven businesses led by women. Less than 2% of funding reaches women entrepreneurs of impact. MOXY is changing that with $1M+ growth grants, micro-loans up to $50K with expert coaching, and a goal of mobilizing $1 billion for women founders.

I’ve made my donation. Will you join me?

Je viens d’avoir une conversation inspirante avec l’ancienne sénatrice de l’État de Washington Das, et je m’engage pleinement.

Mona bâtit la MOXY Foundation, qui finance, accompagne et propulse les entreprises à impact dirigées par des femmes. Moins de 2 % du financement atteint les entrepreneures à impact. MOXY change la donne : subventions de croissance de plus d’un million de dollars, microprêts jusqu’à 50 000 $ avec coaching, et un objectif de mobiliser un milliard de dollars pour les fondatrices.

J’ai fait mon don. Vous joignez-vous à moi?
