WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY:
TRUSTED BY
This live virtual retreat will leave you not only energized to conquer your business goals over the next 12 months, but with the step-by-step roadmap to do it.
You’re completely exhausted from the pandemic and all the chaos it brought. Homeschooling anyone?
You’re starting a business from scratch.
You’re worried about inflation and a potential recession.
Even though it may feel like the chips are stacked against you, this is NOT the time to stop focusing on growing your business.
In fact, while everyone else is feeling defeated, and completely distracted by doom and gloom, there’s opportunity for you to stand out amongst the competition.
“But isn’t it counterintuitive to be focused on growing my business right now, given the state of the world?”
There’s really good news for people who are focused on their freelance business growth right now: those who are focused on their growth are more likely to beat inflation and thrive during and after a recession.
To explain why, let’s play out the whole scenario in very broad terms. General uncertainty and fear leads to reduced spending and efforts to reduce costs by businesses and consumers. One of the fastest ways to reduce business costs is to layoff employees - typically those in non-essential roles like design.
In addition to an already growing freelance workforce in the Great Resignation, a recession would likely see an even larger increase in the freelance workforce.
Now who is going to fare better at the end of a recession? A brand new freelancer trying to figure out this online biz thing? A freelancer who has all but given up? Or someone who has been strategically focused on building their brand, providing excellent service to their clients, developing their skills and increasing their rates?
The strategically focused freelance designer will win every time.
If you’re ready to cast aside doubt and step up when a lot of your peers are cowering in fear, you should join us for our live one-day virtual retreat:
SCALE YOUR DESIGN BIZ TO SIX-FIGURES
IN THE NEXT 12-MONTHS
Here’s a peek at our jam-packed schedule:
WORKSHOP #1
🤩 Restoring your love for design and passion for your business in a changing world
The last few years have been challenging all around, so it’s not surprising if you haven’t been able to reach your business goals. But in this session we’re wiping the slate clean and discussing strategies to enthusiastically grow your business in spite of the global, local and personal challenges you’re facing.
WORKSHOP #2
🎯The importance of niching and different design niches to consider to effectively scale your biz and attract your ideal clients
If you’re still doing #allthethings as a one-person business, you are seriously limiting your revenue potential - and likely working WAY too many hours for the income you are generating. In this session we’re going to discuss the power of niching your freelance business from a productivity and marketing standpoint.
WORKSHOP #3
🧲 Client attraction strategies based on personality type so you only work with your most ideal clients
Tired of working with clients who aren’t the right fit for you or whose brand you just don’t enjoy working on? This session is a MUST ATTEND. We’re going to be talking about the types of client attraction strategies that exist, and which you should be leveraging based on your personality type - and the personalities of your ideal clients.
WORKSHOP #4
⚙️ How to streamline your biz as a creative to create efficiency, establish your expertise and boost your confidence
If you want to reach six-figures in your design business while working 40 hours a week or less, you MUST have systems in your business. We’re going to be diving deep into the strategies and tools you can use in your business to streamline your operations, increase client satisfaction, boost your own confidence, charge premium rates and spend more time on the creative side of your business.
WORKSHOP #5
đź§Strategies to effectively scale your design biz so you can work less and earn more
Growing or scaling your design business is not a sprint - it’s a marathon. Raising your rates one time or adding a single process automation is likely not going to get you where you want to be. You have to have a long-term approach and plan to focus on growing your design business. In this session we’re going to be setting SMART goals, developing a 12-month roadmap and sharing ways you can get support and accountability to ensure you reach those goals.
