Why This Bootcamp Will Change the Way You See Your Creative Business

You’ve got talent. You’ve got ideas. But building a real business out of your creativity?
That can feel overwhelming—until someone shows you the roadmap.

Over three actionable days, I’ll walk you through the essential parts of a profitable creative business:

Who Is This Bootcamp For?

Makers, designers, and artists ready to take their business seriously
Creatives who want to make real income from their products
Entrepreneurs who feel stuck in chaos and want a clear plan
Anyone considering joining the Creative Entrepreneur Mastermind in January

These are the essential building blocks of your creative business.

Each element can be approached in different ways depending on your product and how you choose to sell it.

This is why every business is uniquely shaped by its owner—yet built on the same foundational principles shared by successful entrepreneurs everywhere.

Your 3-Day Creative Business Plan

Day 1: Marketing That Works for Creatives

What really gets your products and designs seen (and sold). We’ll cover visibility strategies that don’t require constant social media burnout.

Day 2: Operations Without the Overwhelm

Let’s talk systems. From batching content to managing orders to setting up automations, you’ll learn how to run your biz like a pro (even if you're a one-woman show).

Day 3: Fulfilling Orders & Building Repeat Buyers

We’ll break down product fulfillment, client delivery, and the customer experience that keeps buyers coming back.

3 Days to Transformation

This the first time (and only time) I will be doing this bootcamp in 2025.
