If you already have your idea, this workshop is the perfect next step to turn that great idea into a business.
This is absolutely for you! We'll work on refining what you've already built, boosting your audience, growing your sales, and creating the kind of business that supports the life you want to live.
My specialty is working with entrepreneurs who want to build an online business, whether it's to sell physical products or digital content. I've seen a need for business coaching that specifically supports creative work, and I designed this program to meet that need. Creative businesses have unique challenges - and I'm here to tackle them with you. However, I have also worked with small business owners in a range of unique fields that go well beyond the creative realm, including financial management trainers and dermestid beetle bone cleaning (for hunters). While creative work is my superpower, if you feel drawn to this workshop - you'll find a range of resources to take your business to the next level. And if your business needs something I don't offer, I will point you to any additional resources that you need.
If you are building an in-person business that doesn't market or sell online, this workshop is not the right fit. Likewise, if you want a quick, easy fix that will make money without effort - this is not the right fit.
It depends on you. The lessons open weekly to give you time to review the information, reflect on your own business, and apply what you're learning. Building a profitable business takes work (and it doesn't happen overnight), so if you're willing and able to put in the time, you'll see results more quickly. But if life gets in the way and you get off track, you can come back any time and pick up where you left off.
I believe in providing you with a step-by-step plan to grow your business. You'll find videos, printables, and valuable resources that walk you through each and every part of the process. I will not only teach you what next steps you need to take, but HOW and WHEN to take them.
Building a business isn't cheap, and investing in coaching or business-building resources can be a little scary. While no program can guarantee a specific level of success, I've had the opportunity to watch my clients quit their day jobs to work their creative business full time. My clients sign up to work with me again and again when they are ready to level up, because they know I can help them get results. But if I've learned one thing in my work with small business owners, it's that if you're willing to show up and do the work, you'll get results. But it's up to you. One thing I've learned from my own experience is that every time I made an investment in my business (whether it was private coaching or online programs), I was able to take what I learned and grow my business enough to more than pay for what I spent on my investment.
