In this one-hour workshop, I’ll help you become the best option for your clients and ensure that clients choose YOU over other designers.

Not every marketing strategy is right for YOU. I will show you how to promote your business in the simplest way possible, and you’ll enjoy it!

4. Outsourcing, Hiring, Getting Your Time Back, and Becoming a Creative CEO! You can’t grow alone. Let me help you make more money so you can hire people to do the things you don’t like doing in your biz. #taxes #instagram #events
