You’ve got something unique. The W2, 9-5 life has never been your style, so you’re striving to transform your creative passion into a business. But let’s face it: nobody prepared you for this.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could find some sort of all-inclusive, in-depth, genuinely engaging crash course on starting a creative business, that gave you all the tools and education of an MBA without the years of studying and the hefty price tag of a masters degree?
I think you know where we’re going with this . . .

In conversations with our clients from all different fields—agencies, designers, branding consultants, writers, influencers and more—most of them don’t have four years of business school behind them. No detailed classes about understanding financial statements or lectures on the various business structures and which makes the most sense in different situations.
When they started building their creative passion into a business, it felt like they were starting from scratch, and they were left losing sleep over the same questions you’re struggling with now, like:
