business insights
A funnel is not a website. It’s not a single email. It’s not an overpriced software platform someone tried to sell you in a webinar. It’s the journey someone takes from “Who are you?” → “This is interesting...” → “I need this in my life” → “Take my money.”

Roundup -The Best Business Resources for Creatives in 2021
This year has been a wild year of content for us! We’ve cranked out almost 200 total blog posts and podcast episodes, dropped almost 50 new collections of templates, updated some of our programs and added a new one, and overall have really been dedicated to helping creative business owners.

5 Apps We Use to Keep our Team Happy and Productive
We’ve been outsourcing for a while now and have always had some sort of team regardless of the size. Over the years, we’ve had various highs and lows with our team, and team members have come and gone. However, now we’re at a place with our current team where we feel really good about the energy and cadence we’ve built in the workplace, no matter the fact that we’re virtual.
Our team members are happy to come to work, they know that this is a safe space, that we value life first in our business, and that they’ll be recognized for their achievements. We’re able to keep them happy and productive using 5 apps and tools, which we’re going to share in this blog post!
The BEST Tool to Help Land High-Paying Clients Consistently
The biggest struggles we’ve seen service providers face includes difficulty landing high-paying clients consistently. They may land just one or two clients per month at their highest package, but the rest always fall on the smaller scale. This can lead to just breaking even each month, which leads to feelings of discouragement, worry, and self doubt.
But before we say “Just raise your prices!”, we understand that there are other steps that go into that as well. Part of being able to offer a premium package is providing more value through your client experience. That may sound to you like you need to start holding your clients’ hands more or putting more of your time into how you take care of them, but that simply isn’t the case.
You can completely transform your business with one single tool that we’re going to share with you in this blog post!
