Tired of being stuck with $500 clients who question your rates, ghost you, or don’t take your work seriously? I’ve been there.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact shifts I made to go from low-budget projects to consistent $10K+ branding clients. I’ll walk you through what I changed in my messaging, how I positioned myself as an expert, and where I actually found premium clients who respected my process and paid on time. If you want to start attracting better clients, this episode is your roadmap.

You will learn:

  • Why high-paying clients weren’t finding you before
  • How to position yourself as an expert, not just another designer
  • What to say to attract clients who care about results, not just a logo
  • Where to find clients who are ready to invest in branding
  • The mindset shift that completely changed how I run my business


Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to redefine how you run your design business!
