  • Aiming for 92% and Reaping the Rewards in Your Creative Business
    This is the chapter of the book that started it all - my rant on why the "Just ship it" mentality had destroyed my own industry. It went on to spark the idea that some creatives are better than others - and the search for WHY they were different started.
    In this episode I'm reading a chapter from "Secret Weapon: Attract the best clients, charge what you're worth and fall in love with your work again."

  • How to Delight Clients by Being Invested in the Outcome of Projects
    What separates a hired gun from a Secret Weapon?
    The biggest difference is that a Secret Weapon is invested in the outcome of their client's projects. And with that investment comes trust, better relationships, increased revenue and raving testimonials from client's who love working with you.
    In this week's episode we're reading a chapter from "Secret Weapon: Attract the best clients, charge what you're worth and fall in love with your work again." and we see if it still holds up one year later.
    Spoiler alert: it does :)

    Did you know you can grow your creative business completely through referrals? It's totally possible!
    For years, my business was completely referral based. I didn't do any advertising and I didn't do a lot of marketing. I was getting all my new clients from my existing clients. But it wasn't by accident - I created a referral engine in my business that kept chugging along day after day.
