Contrary to popular belief, working with anyone and everyone is a good strategy!

At first. 😉

When you’re building your business, taking on a variety of projects can help you hone your craft, learn what your clients value, and figure out what your work is actually worth.

But at some point, you need to make the transition from scrappy freelancer to established business owner.

That means:

🔍Getting clear on who you do and don’t want to work with

💰 Charging based on value, not your time

📈 Working with fewer, better clients

If years have gone by and you’re still over-delivering and wondering why your business isn’t more profitable, it’s time for a shift.

That’s exactly what I’ll be covering in my free workshop:

How to Build a More Profitable Creative Business

📅 Thursday, September 3rd
⏰ 12 p.m. EST

Together, we will:

✨ Define and communicate your unique value.

🎯 Identify the clients who need what you do and are willing to pay for it.

📈 Create a roadmap to working with fewer, better clients and earning more.

🌟 You’re amazing at what you do

🙌 Your clients appreciate your work

💪 You work your a$$ off

So why does growing your business still feel harder than it should?

If you’re constantly chasing the next project, saying yes to work that isn’t quite right, or feeling discouraged because your income doesn’t reflect your talent and effort, you’re not alone.

The truth is, building a profitable creative business isn’t about working longer hours, landing a golden goose client, or finding that elusive magical marketing strategy. It’s about getting the key pieces of your business working together.

That’s exactly what we’ll explore in my free online workshop, How to Build a More Profitable Creative Business, where I will take you through 3 practical steps to build a business that’s as strong as your creative work.

Together, we will:

✨ Define and communicate your unique value

💰 Identify the clients who need what you do and are willing to pay for it

🗺️ Create a roadmap to working with fewer, better clients and earning more

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building your business more intentionally, I’d love to have you join us next Thursday, September 3rd at 12 p.m. EST.

I may need to move to Galway just for the good hair and skin weather!

I think my son, Teddy might be slowly turning me into a horse person 🐎

I’m still somewhat timid around them, but seeing them every day when I pick him up has become an unexpected summer highlight!

I was delighted to be a guest on the Joy CEO podcast with Lori Pine. Lori’s focus on high-achieving women gave me an opportunity to stretch into slightly different territory: the midlife squeeze so many high-achievers experience with their career, teenage kids, aging parents. Throw in perimenopause and menopause and you’ve got yourself a situation! If you’ve ever wondered if you’re tired, burned out, or wonder if that brain fog is actually ADHD, this conversation is for you. I hope you enjoy it!

Yesterday we said goodbye to Charlie — the easiest to love cat in the world 😻(even for people who are allergic or claim to “hate cats”!)

Not to be dramatic, but he’s left an enormous hole in our world and if I cry anymore, I’m gonna need an IV 😭
