The ones who are ready to start . . .

Launching your business to the world is wildly transformative.

It’s the foundational work that breaks so many of the thoughts you have about yourself–

that you’re confused about what to do

that you’ve always failed so why not now

that you don’t have business experience

All of this drama stands in the way of you just taking the simple steps forward that will make you money doing what you love.

All of this drama stands in the way of you building your website, naming your business, developing your products and selling to your dream customers.

The set of skills you learn by deciding what you do and announcing that to the world unlocks your potential to make $100k.  

And the ones scaling up.

You have a product you love that provides value to the world. Now it’s time to use that business in a strategic way to deliver you the life you want.

You’ve built the foundation– now it’s time to build your dream business.

The one that will

allow you to travel as much as you want

allow you to buy the home of your dreams

allow you to spend your time in exactly the way you want to spend it

You won’t be able to hustle your way to $100k–you’ll need to use business strategy, a clear vision of your future, a mission statement that will pull you forward and a set of thoughts that will keep you on track.

Making your first $100k takes you upleveling your thinking, confidence and business strategy.

Lisa Quine, mural artist

I’m a Creative Consultant who specializes in hand-lettering and mural services in order to excite and inspire those I can share my work with.

After JUST TWO CALLS with Steph:

“I have SO MUCH more intention in my work. I really consider my review streams, how much I need to charge, and what type of clients I’d like to attract. Steph helped me get my mindset right for making the jump to start my own business by blocking out negative thoughts and gaining confidence in myself. Before our calls, I fit the typical “artist brain” stereotype where all I wanted to do was create and not have to worry about the business side of it. She helped me see that it was both necessary and attainable to create good work and make a living from it!

I went to see her talk at Creative Mornings and emailed her about 15 minutes after the event. Her talk not only inspired me, but sparked immediate action, like I knew I just had to connect with her and get her help. I was a struggling creative that needed someone who wanted to see me succeed and could guide me on that path.

I was terrified to quit my job and start my own business. I thought I would be struggling to find work and make a living by creating artwork. I thought I didn’t have enough clients to make it happen at the time too.

Without coaching I wouldn’t have made the right goals or really thought about why clients should hire me over other competition out there. It helped me narrow down a mission statement and how to carry that through in every step of my process.

“I PAINTED A GOD DAMN MURAL IN FRANCE LIKE WTFFFFF. Along with 29 other murals in all 2018. In just over a year I made it to 6 figures which was my main goal.”

Lizzie Schlafer, photographer

I’m Lizzie! A wedding & couples photographer from Cleveland.

After one-on-one coaching with Steph:

“I’m a full-time wedding photographer! Two years ago I was working in higher education and trying to start up my business. So much has changed!

I needed a swift kick in the butt. And honestly, it was more therapeutic personally. Which then translated over into my business. I was lacking in confidence and direction.

I made a million excuses why I wasn’t: good enough, qualified, tough, prepared or smart to pursue my desire to be an entrepreneur. It was a whole lot of lies I told myself & very little action to correct it.

I used to believe that I couldn’t possibly sustain a lifestyle and financial security based on running a business of my own.

Coaching holds your accountable in ways your closest community cannot. They’re there to cheer you on & build you up: not provide you with hard truths. A coach isn’t there to fluff you up. They’re a source of honesty and tough love.”

Because of that swift kick in the butt, I’ve doubled my income, hired an accountant, financial planner and started doing business evaluations. I’ve increased my clientele. But most of all: I’ve found my voice. I’ve let go of trends & expectations and decided to just do the best I can to serve my clients and take care of myself.

Kim Adams, lettering artist

I'm Kim, a Cleveland-based calligrapher, lettering artist and graphic designer.

Because of coaching:

“I've taken more risks, which is something I was always afraid to do because I was afraid of failure. These bold choices and risks have led to so many amazing opportunities and have allowed me to accomplish so much: teaching workshops, designing products, etc.

I reached a point where I realized I wasn't really doing what I loved; I was churning out projects that didn't motivate me creatively, and I needed someone to give me permission to make big moves and changes to my business that would allow me to do the work I loved and reach those ideal clients.

As someone who deals with anxiety and depression on the daily, it was SO easy to tell myself that I wasn't good enough to even call myself an artist or a business -- that there were way too many other women doing what I was doing; there's no way I'd stand out.

Even though I'm surrounded by people who love and support me, nothing can replace the knowledge, wisdom and guidance from someone who's been there herself.

I started teaching workshops regularly, which I never thought I'd do. I also completed my website which was a HUGE accomplishment considering I'd been putting it off for 4 years.”
