$108,246… that’s how much we made in the last 40 days working as photographers, filmmakers and brand strategists. It has been wild and yes this is our biggest month yet - $100k months are not normal for us. But here’s the crazy part — this wasn’t because we are better creatively than you.. heck, we might even be less talented than you creatively.. this is the story of learning to land on high-value projects in both the brand and wedding space and today, we’re breaking it all down.

Here’s what we are covering in this video:

• Breaking down the 8 projects that created the $108,264
• Value-Based Pricing (how hourly and day rates are the biggest ceiling in high income months)
• Increasing the Value of a Client (how to give them even more than they ask for)
• Overcoming Sales Objections (how to block pricing objections)

If we knew what you know now.. holy smokes. Those first 5-6 years would have been so much easier. A $108,246 Month would never be possible without learning the lessons the last decade has taught both of us.

Our goal is that this video massively shortcuts that learning curve for you. And that’s why we started Creativ Rise in 2019 - to help creatives get paid to do what they love by focusing on building a creative business strategy.

And we have a LIVE, free virtual workshop coming this Wednesday, Feb 26th at 4:30pm PST called the $10k/mo Creator Workshop! If you’re a creative who wants to hit consistent $10k/mo’s in your creative business, this is for you.

We are going to breaking down in further details our $100k month AND we’re also bringing on other $10k/per month creatives in the wedding, brand and social media management space to show how you can do it, too.

THIS WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE:

• How we made $108,000 since January 1, 2025 selling photo, video & brand campaigns

• The top trends of the creators who are making 6 figures in 2025

• The 5 ways to make $10K/Mo in 2025

• The biggest do’s and don’ts of growing your creative business

• Q&A

If you want to learn how to build a $10k/mo creative business, register now!

We only have 150 seats for this free virtual workshop, so register today!

Most creatives never get a handle on their money, so their money situation gets a handle on them. Their lives feel limited by their finances, rather than free’d up because of a healthy financial situation.

So here's the question: what do you need to know about money so you can feel confident you are using it properly?

We’ve got 8 tips for you about money that will help you be informed which leads to financial confidence which then creates financial control.

Results are great, but only if you know what actions it took to get there.

What’s trackable is scalable. If you can’t track it, you can’t scale it.

We dive into this headfirst on our most recent episode: talking about betting on yourself, taking risks and how it transforms your community + your business.

Today's episode is with our good friend Edward Lee, a Seattle based filmmaker and creative entrepreneur. Ed talks with us about a few different things.. and all of them blew our minds. We LITERALLY switched topics mid episode due to a hot rabbit hole we got into.
Sparking pure creativity is essential but it's very hard for a lot of us. This episode clears up how Edward Lee creates from a place of true inspiration rather than impostersyndrom and how you can do the same. And trust us, when you do, your business will grow.

We've all heard the mumbo jumbo morning routine stuff. Honestly, most of it isn't easy to connect with. BUT THIS - we've found a great, simple morning routine that makes getting up, staying clear and crushing your day easy.

1. Get your 3 professional to do's and personal to do's OUT OF YOUR HEAD and onto paper. This helps you wake up and immediately know what you need to do for the day to WIN the day. Cut out hours of wondering "what should I do today" and get going!

2. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE FOR THE FIRST HOUR - we explain the science behind this in the ep!

3. Meditation / prayer

4. Consume by reading/studying. This primes your brain to spark creativity.

The IG trend that needs to end: Complaining about your clients/business on social media.

We get it. You probably think it's harmless, you see other people getting lots of views, and hey, you look cute in it. What could be the harm? Well... unfortunately your viral reel of you pointing to all the reasons you're upset at someone asking for the RAW's could actually be setting fire to your whole business (in a bad way).

 

What happens when you follow this IG trend:

- lose loyalty of past clients

- scare away future clients

 

It's time to stop encouraging the negative, pitchfork mob mentality around IG. Instead, start creating content around your clients how you solve their problems rather than the problems they create for you. 

 

It's time to re-evaluate whether or not these trends are helping you grow your business or if you're actually scaring away potential (or current) clients.

 

Tune in.

The oldest insecurity in the BOOK with creative business owners is sales.. no one likes selling to people. Here's the truth though, if you don't like sales - you'll end up working for someone who does. Sales might not be the reason you are in business but they sure will keep your business alive.

You get the point don't ya?

Well, this week's episode is all about how you can shift your perspective around sales to be healthy. It all starts with putting the customer first.

We guarantee this episode will help you drop the sleaaazyness you feel while selling and have you closing people with ease - all well maintaining a great conscious.

We all know what the rush of a booming business feels like.. but what do we do when we have slow months? What do we do when we feel like we have plateaued? Well, this week's episode is entirely about What To Do When You've Plateaued.

Here's the key and we break it down in this episode - realize that every plateau is a breeding ground for your next explosion. Boom.

What would be possible if you turned your plateau into a runway for your next explosion??

Would your $75k turn into $200k? Or would your 20k turn into your first 60k? Would your 80 hr work week turn into a 20 hr work week without a pay cut? Would you be way more fulfilled and way less burned out?

These are ALL things people in our Mastermind have experienced. Just listen to this story about a Creativ Rise Mastermind grad Becca.

"I made it my goal to leave my 9-5 when I joined the Creativ Rise Mastermind, totally thinking it would be months before I actually accomplished that. 3 weeks into the Mastermind, I quit my job and went full-time with photography and design. Fast forward a few months and I’ll be celebrating my first six-figure year at the end of this year & I’m forever changed because of it!”

While Becca is amazing, her story is not unique. She simply put herself in the right room to be built into, stretched and held accountable. She used the plateau to get close to people who were exploding and within 3 weeks, boom, she blew it up and hit 6 figures her first year.

We want you to have a story like Becca. Infact, we don’t just want that, we believe you deserve it.

At Creativ Rise, we are building a world where more creatives succeed while doing what they love. That’s our cause. We so believe in it. The best way you can change your story like Becca is through the power of our Creativ Rise Mastermind.

The Creativ Rise 6 week mastermind was born to guide people through the foundations of building a great business, give them the support to grow and the accountability to actually get things done. Since then, we’ve had over 100 creative businesses owners go through it. People just like Becca. Time and time again we’ve watched how they’ve blown it up. All through the power of coaching, community and accountability.

We are running the next 6 week round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind at the end of September into October. It launches for application on September 19th. Why applications? Well, it sells out every time. We need to make it application only to be sure we can hand select the right people to be in the community. Here’s the catch though, the waitlist gets access to apply 2 days early.

So if you know you want to grow your business. If you know you have bigger dreams that you are living right now you need to be in this next round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind and you need to join the waitlist.

Photographers, filmmakers, designers, social media strategists, agency owners and influencers. This is for you. We are calling you out.

It’s so easy to join the waitlist, simply text the word WAITLIST to 916-587-6417 and boom. You are on the waitlist. The waitlist is where you can ask us questions and we will give you a ton more info and value.

If this last 2 years has done anything it's allowed us to see new opportunity and grieve the loss of opportunities we thought we had in front of us. "Shifting" our businesses has become common, simply out of necessity for most due to the rapid change in the world and how it affects our industries. BUT, what if you've been waiting for the change? What is you are ecstatic to change what you do but wrapped up in fear. Well, then this episode is for you.

In this episode we dial in on how to shift without losing it all, how to combat the fear of what change throws at you and most importantly 3 three things to any successful shift and how you can do them too.

Shifting is meant to be done in community. We built the Creativ Rise Mastermind to help do it right all well being 100% supported. The Creativ Rise 6 week mastermind was born to guide people through the foundations of building a great business, give them the support to grow and the accountability to actually get things done. We’ve had over 100 creative businesses owners go through it. People from all corners of the world and in every industry. Time and time again we’ve watched how they’ve blown it up. All through the power of coaching, community and accountability.

We are running the next 6 week round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind at the end of September into October. It launches for application on September 19th. Why applications? Well, it sells out every time. We need to make it application only to be sure we can hand select the right people to be in the community. Here’s the catch though, the waitlist gets access to apply 2 days early on September 17th!!

So if you know you want to grow your business. If you know you have bigger dreams that you are living right now you need to be in this next round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind and you need to join the waitlist.

Photographers, filmmakers, designers, social media strategists, agency owners and influencers. This is for you. We are calling you out. It’s so easy to join the waitlist, simply text the word WAITLIST to 916-587-6417 and boom. You are on the waitlist. Or go to www.creativrise.com!

Your website is capable of putting more money in your pocket. Your website is capable of creating repeat, loyal customers. Your website is capable of building immense trust with your clients. 

But more often than not, they end up just being portfolios. 

Pretty, but dull. Well-designed aesthetically, but confusing. 

We believe your website can be a 24/7 auto-pilot sales machine... if you build it correctly. Which is why we are releasing Step 1 of the 7 Step framework of what makes a great website in this podcast. We dive into a fun conversation about what the trouble is with current creative websites, what a great framework could do for your business AND the first step in creating a killer website. 

You noticed we only said Step 1. Just a tease into the 7 Step Framework we have. And hey, we appreciate you listeners & we’re wild about your success… we designed a whole course around this. The Portfolio To Profit Website Course - and guess what? We're giving away this course FOR FREE!!!

Yup, you heard us right.

Too often creative business owners websites are just portfolios, meant to only show your work and who you are. Well, we believe that's great, but if you're interested in attracting more clients, building trust with those clients and convincing them you're the "only option" (on autopilot, we might add) - - then you need in on the Portfolio To Profit Website Course. 7 steps to building a website that puts more money in your pocket.

You don't need to be a graphic designer to implement this framework. We'll walk you step-by-step through the process, so you can uniquely make your site a profit-making-machine.

IMPORTANT: this free course EXPIRES. It's only available to consume Sep 16-18! Enroll now to make sure you get access!

We know everyone wants this course, so we've made it really EASY. Head on over to www.creativrise.com/portfoliotoprofit to claim your spot!

This is absolutely true: the creative business owner who best shows their client how to use their end product always wins. When we fail to connect the dots on how they can utilize your product or service to benefit their life - not only do they miss out, but you miss out as well. Why? Because educating your clients on your services is crucial to getting rehired + referred.

In today's episode we talk through this and provide some examples that'll help you gain even more perspective on this topic. We also talk about what we did for Joey's birthday (teaser: it involves wolves). A personal, fun, engaging episode filled to the brim with VALUE. See you in there.

People ask constantly “when should I go full time?" When a lot of them are really asking, “how can I feel confident going full time?” Unfortunately, a lot of people base this on FEELING. 

They are escaping a job, a situation, or the frustration they are feeling from being in a career path they don’t enjoy or feel held back in.  That’s a motivator for wanting to go full-time, but your feelings shouldn’t be your basis. Going full time isn’t an emotional decision, it’s a logical one. In today's episode we break down how you can go full time with confidence!

Do you believe that your habits actually predict your future success?

Because we do.

This is because your habits create your identity, and your identity creates your future success.

If you’re someone who is addicted to distraction - trust us, we get it.

Which is why in this episode we start off with airing the dirty laundry of our own bad habits that keep us from success - but what guardrails we put in to ensure it gets squashed so it doesn’t derail our goals.

This is a fun, conversational episode with mind-blowing truths that will get you on the fasttrack to success in your creative business!

If you’re also like us, you know creating great habits that create success isn’t supposed to be done alone. We know accountability is the #1 factor of success - which is why we created a community of people who will challenge and encourage each other towards growth.  At Creativ Rise, we are trying to create a world where more creatives succeed at doing what they love, together. Which is why we’ve developed the Creativ Rise Mastermind: a 6 week program filled with coaching, community and accountability. The Creativ Rise Mastermind is the ULTIMATE creative business education on a wide variety of topics backed by a community to help you implement, in just 6 weeks. This is our 7th round (woo hoo!) and over 150+ creatives have gone thru this and proven the strategy that doing business together is better. AND IT LAUNCHES AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

We've all heard the term pay yourself first - but most people don't actually know what that means or how to do it. If you operate like that there is a good chance it's leading to massive financial insecurity and financial victimhood.

I today's episode we share the truth about what Paying Yourself First is and how you can easily do it. This is the type of episode you will thank yourself for in 20-30 years. 

Learning about finances is a fundamental pillar of growing and maintaining your creative business. Financial education is massively under-provided and valued in the traditional education system.  At Creativ Rise, we aim to change that!

Your life will be a direct reflection of your peer group’s expectations. Whew... does that quote hit or what? 

This episode is a spin-off of “you are who you hang out with” - but two levels deeper and with the idea that the success of your creative business DEPENDS ON THIS. 

Too often we don’t intentionally create a peer group... it just happens. The people we grew up with. The people we work around. The people we are comfortable around. 

But if these people (who might be great and supportive!) are the ONLY influences in your life, and they aren’t heading where you’re trying to head... you are missing out the secret to fast-tracked success. You will constantly battle for growth with a lone-ranger mentality and end up growing much slower than people who are surrounded by a community of creatives who have expectations for them. 

So if you are ready to quit the lone-ranger mentality and want to get fast-tracked towards success: the Creativ Rise Mastermind is designed for you. 

6 weeks of growth surrounded by an intimate community of 20-30 creatives, all working towards the common goal of growth, together. It is 6 weeks of all the business growth tactics you need to know to grow your business from where it is to where you desire it be, individualized coaching, and an incredible community of people pushing and encouraging you. 

Applications open to the public March 28th, but if you get on the waitlist you’ll receive EARLY ACCESS and $100 off! You can get on the waitlist at www.creativrise.com or by texting “waitlist” to 916-587-6417. 

Can’t wait to see you there.

Imagine having an inbox full of responses from companies actually replying with interest to your emails? You stopped getting price-checked and had clients who were WILD about you and what you could for them. You have a calendar full of deals YOU have landed, more sales and get more of your time back to do what you love.  

 

Sounds too good to be true? It’s what our Outreach Templates are designed to do for your business.

 

But most creatives get stuck in never reaching out because they don’t know what to say. Or they send out cold emails that never land - only to be left on read or be told no client-after-client. Eventually your empty calendar, lack of income and discouragement leaves you wondering if you should even pursue your business anymore.  

 

We’ve seen it time and time again, but that all ends now.

We are here to give you exactly what to say to land your next deal. This works for any creative industry and has led to landing huge multi five figure deals. And it’s also customizable to your industry and brand, so it’ll work for everyone. And bonus: we actually think it’s quite simple. 

 

So if you’re ready to start filling up that inbox with sales: get the Outreach Templates: email/DM templates to land the deal. For a limited time offer of $47 (price jumps to $100 in 48 hours)! You can start pitching those brands you’ve been dreaming of today by getting your templates at www.creativrise.com/outreachtemplates .

 

We not only give you templates, but explain the psychological 7 Pillars of the Outreach Framework. Our aim is that you find understanding in the psychology of each pillar so you can clearly build each email or DM with ease, landing you deals. You’ll get a workbook, video modules, and templates for initial outreach and follow-up’s (boom). Price will jump in 48 hrs, so grab ‘em while you can for this price!

 

Want to grab the Email & DM templates? Head to www.creativrise.com/outreachtemplates  or text “template” to 916-587-6417 and we will send you the link! Can’t wait to get it in your hands!

 

Ready for 6 weeks of growth? Need the specialized coaching, community and accountability to take your business to the next level? The Creativ Rise Mastermind is back.

We are 1 quarter of the way through the year already! That means you've got 3 quarters of the year left... and this is usually when people hit the year SLUMP. 

But guess what: that doesn't have to be you. You can be re-energized and re-strategized to get that New-Year-Energy BACK. How can you do that? By identifying problems. 

Problems? Well, that sounds pessimistic. Aren't I supposed to only be focused on my goals? 

Nope. Because problems aren't actually "bad." Problems are created when you move forward, so if your business doesn't have any problems: then your business might be on its way to the grave. 

In this episode, we dive into how identifying, prioritizing and solving your problems is what will propel you towards meeting your goals. Exciting, huh? We think so, too. We give you a three action plan to do this all within this podcast. So grab a sheet of paper and tune in! 

Realizing your problems are associated with income, sales, marketing, branding, needing more clients, isolation, getting ghosted by clients, strategy and overall business growth? The solution is specialized coaching, community and accountability to take your business to the next level. The Creativ Rise Mastermind is for exactly that. It's 6 weeks of individualized and group coaching, educational modules based on tried & true business practices, and a solid community of other creatives just like you - ready to support and challenge you to be your best self in your business. Applications opened up to the waitlist two days ago and HALF of the spots are already gone and we haven't opened it publicly! If you want early access and early pricing, it’s not too late. Head over to www.creativrise.com and you can get on the waitlist and get sent the application to apply! You can also text “waitlist” to 916-587-6417. Don’t delay, they’re going fast!

We sat down with Christian from @wildfernweddings to talk about securing more high ticket deals by creating a high ticket process.

Christian had recently raised his prices and was desiring to increase his lead generation and booking experience. We talked about how to act like a six figure business, what changes need to be made with social media and some tactical approaches to increasing the level of value you give so it matches your new pricing. This is a topic everyone needs to tune into who wants to match their experience with their pricing! 

Want to do a live chat with us like Christian did? All you have to do is DM us the word “chat” with what you’re struggling with in your business!

If you only listen to one podcast a year: THIS is the one to tune into.

Age is truly but a number in this business. Evie is 15 years old from London, England and is the owner of April Creative Design: an agency that serves US-based wedding industry professionals for all their design and website needs. She began her business at the age of 14 and her business has exploded: but she has been struggling to raise her prices. She’s in good company, as Joey began his business at the age of 14 as well in Canada. We dive into a heartfelt, encouraging and INSPIRING conversation around this well-spoken, intelligent and talented creative who is already knocking it out of the park - - but just needed some strategy around pricing to get her to the next level.

If you’re struggling with the fear around raising your pricing but also feel like you lack the strategy to actually change it… this one is for you.

Struggling with getting work right now? Guess what: Instagram shouldn’t be your only strategy of reeling in the jobs.

Something you can start TODAY is a paid referral program with another industry professional (aka: someone who does the same service as you but is booked out).

Too often creatives ask for referrals, providing zero value to the person referring you. You might get a half-hearted “sure I’ll recommend you!” - but the referrals come few and far between because there’s no value for the person on the other side.

Want a referral program that ACTUALLY works? Well, we are spilling the beans on how you can start landing referral clients quickly and consistently... where you BOTH get paid.

In this podcast we map out why this works and exactly what to say when pitching to another industry professional about setting up this type of referral relationship. We make it simple for ya so you can start implementing it TODAY.

We know the mental block of not knowing what to say hurts a creative’s career. You end up stuck at the keyboard, overthinking what to say and ending up not sending anything at all. Well, we want to clear that problem right out of your way - which is why we created the Outreach Templates: email/DM templates to land the deal. You can get yours today & start pitching brands TODAY in a way that catches their attention & builds trust.

You can get your templates now at www.creativrise.com/outreachtemplates.

We all get ghosted at one point or another.

 

No – not the spooky kind, but definitely can be equally as scary! Ghosting is what happens when you’re talking with a client, you look like you’re moving towards and sale and then… crickets. They never respond. Maybe days or even weeks go by and you wonder what happened.

 

Ghosting is not a matter of if, but when.

 

But don’t fret! Figuring out how to respond to ghosting is incredibly important. You can turn around a ghosting situation easily and simply by taking 4 simple steps we give in this podcast that has worked for us and many others! It’ll get you on the road to winning back your client.

 

If you loved this episode – and you’re getting stoked on how to pitch new clients, we’ve got something for you.

We are here to give you exactly what to say to land your next deal. This works for any creative industry and has led to landing huge multi five figure deals. And it’s also customizable to your industry and brand, so it’ll work for everyone. And bonus: we actually think it’s quite simple.

So if you’re ready to start filling up that inbox with sales: get the Outreach Templates: email/DM templates to land the deal. You can start pitching those brands you’ve been dreaming of today by getting your templates at www.creativrise.com/outreachtemplates.

We not only give you templates, but explain the psychological 7 Pillars of the Outreach Framework. Our aim is that you find understanding in the psychology of each pillar so you can clearly build each email or DM with ease, landing you deals.

 

Want to grab the Email & DM templates? Head to www.creativrise.com/outreachtemplates. Can’t wait to get it in your hands!

When you take the mystery out of money, you take the fear out of money.

Too often creative entrepreneurs hide from their financial situation. Feeling overwhelmed, they shove it in a closet and rarely peek inside - hoping everything is “doing fine.” But we believe it doesn’t have to be that way, and becoming financially capable isn’t as daunting as it may seem.

This episode was sparked from the conversation of “what are the 3 habits financially strong people do?” You might be surprised how simple they’ll be to implement - - which is why we love these 3 simple tips.

If you are a creative and LOVE learning about business - we’ve got a huge announcement for you.

A great accountant has the potential to save you thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) over your business-lifetime. A great accountant is your business-bestie, so picking the RIGHT ONE is crucial.

A great accountant should make their entire relationship with you about creating and executing a great tax strategy and helping you stay above board to be audit proof. But how many people actually experience this with an accountant? Unfortunately not enough.

So we’ve made a list of 3 things to look for when searching for your accountant as a creative business owner: and if you can find these 3 things… you’ll be SET.

Do your sales conversations sometimes feel… awkward? Like you can’t wait to get off the phone? Or you feel good about it but you can’t seem to book at the rate you want to?

It might come down to this ONE THING:

When people feel insecure, they usually word vomit advice to make themselves look knowledgeable or to feel in control of the conversation. HOWEVER, when someone is confident in their area, they are free to ask questions to seek understanding what the true problem is, so they can customize a solution that’ll work for their client. 

In this podcast we will be going over the 3 mindset changes that’ll help turn your sales conversations from awkward to genuine relationship – giving you more leverage not only in your business, but with your clients too.

Might ruffle a few feathers on this one.

The easiest way to lose your business is by choosing your contract over your reputation (aka: your client experience).

Ever waited in line for something for HOURS, only to get to the front & they’ve told you they’re closed and will not make an exception because it’s in their ‘policy?’ Yeah, we’ve all experienced the policy-police before before and you know it doesn’t feel good.

Don’t make people feel the same way about you.

Do we think you should let people walk all over you? Nope. But do we think there’s a lot of things creatives hold onto in their contract that are ruining their client experience? Absolutely. (I.E: Do we think refusing to give out RAW images is probably the dumbest fad in the creative industry? Yes - before you think we are crazy, listen in: we will explain in this podcast).

We believe as service providers (which you are if someone is hiring you to do a job), your main concern should be your client’s experience. Not your art. Not your money. Not your IG followers.

If you get this backwards (which we see so often and we ourselves have been tempted to do), you’ll end up resenting your clients & either leaving or losing your business.

But if you get it right? You’ll have a thriving business of people who genuinely believe you want what is best for them OVER what is best for your business growth (which, in turn, causes business growth). And we think that’s something to be proud of.

Creatives: start being an actual service provider, not just an artist.

So buckle up, it’s about to get spicy.

Also guys, we are getting closer to the release of the applications for the next Creativ Rise Mastermind! We know (and so do all of our grads) that doing business alone can only take you so far. And if you’ve got dreams for your business that go beyond what you’re currently producing – you need external support and guidance. We know there is a huge community who resonates with this – which is why we are running an 8th round of the Creativ Rise Mastermind. So you can explode your growth this next year alongside a community of creatives just like you.

 

But don’t just take it from us, here is what one of our recent Mastermind grads said:

 

“Joining the Creativ Rise Mastermind was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever done and I wish I had done it earlier! Christy and Joey made it so easy to learn, want to scale your business, gain clarity on what you’re doing and challenge yourself. In a short 6 weeks I saw over $40,000 of new business come in because they challenged me to push myself out of my comfort zone!”

Nicole Amos @chrisandnicole_

We have another LIVE COACHING call with @petervndr, and we talk about the situation Peter is having with owning two businesses but feeling like he’s being held back from his results because of it. He poses the question: "Can you build a wedding & commercial business successfully at the same time?" We absolutely loved this tactical conversation and know you will too! Tune in.

 

If you enjoyed this coaching conversation - - and feel like you're missing the tailored strategy to keep moving the momentum forward in your business growth, don't miss out this fall on the Creativ Rise Mastermind. It's 6 weeks jam packed with coaching, community and accountability, and the results are incredible.

 

But don’t just take it from us, here is what one of our recent Mastermind grads said:

 

“Ever feel like you’ve got it in you but don’t know where to start? That was me prior to Creativ Rise. I always knew I wanted to run my own business and be my own boss. But no school or university will ever teach you how to break away from the pack and walk the road less taken. I’ve always learned by doing and observing those around me. Surrounding yourself with creatives is definitely the best way to learning and grow. This is why Creativ Rise is the ALL IN ONE PACKAGE. After the first call, all hesitations or concerns immediately vanished and suddenly in an instant, I had a Creativ family ready to help push me every step of the way……Suddenly I wasn’t just some guy going door to door, asking people if they wanted to pay me to make a video for them. Suddenly I was a Brand Builder, Content Creator and Problem Solver. In the 6 weeks alone I was able to DOUBLE MY INCOME. This course MADE ME MONEY!

 

I finally had clarity and direction in my actions. I had a network and a community to help push me out of my comfort zone and I was able to start living the lifestyle I had always dreamed about. Joey and Christy truly care. They care about YOU, your business and truly want you to succeed. My only regret is I didn’t do this sooner.”

This week on the podcast we are squashing the 3 biggest success myths in the creative industry (trust us, you've probably believed at least one of these at one point or another - or still do!). Not only are we debunking these myths that might be holding you back from pursuing your creative business, but we are also showing you the creatives who have DONE IT. 💪🏼 

Myths we are debunking:

#1 - If you get good enough at the creative side of your business, you will eventually become successful

#2 - You have to start by making no money and slowly work your way up

#3 - You can’t grow your business in a recession

#4 - I can succeed alone just as well alone as I could with a community 

Get ready to be INSPIRED through these stories - - tune in!

*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*

Mark your calendars for August 29 because we are going to be having a FREE live training on a Six Figure Roadmap for creative business owners in 2022 that you are not going to want to miss. More details coming SOON, but to be the first to know follow us on @creativrise (w/ post notifications) or text the word 'TRAINING' to 916-587-6417 to get first access to a seat at the training. There will be limited spots, so get on that text list!

HUGE NEWS: Everyone wants a six figure + business, right?

 

And here’s the thing: we see people cracking the code consistently over here at Creativ Rise.

 

But we also know many people sit with loads of talent, struggling to make ends meet. Or they’ve developed a six figure business around one thing, but want to shift into a different revenue stream and feel stuck.

 

Because we want everyone to succeed at doing what they love here at Creativ Rise, we have developed something completely free for you to do just this.

 

This Monday (Aug 29 @ 4:30pm PST), we are doing a live FREE training, “Your Next Six Figures: Two Skills Every Creative Needs To Build Six Figure + Businesses.”

 

We believe there’s NEVER been a better time to hit six figures (and quickly) in our industry. Yes – even on the brink of a recession and a saturated market. How? We have narrowed it down to two important skills you need to create six figure revenue streams – and we want to teach them to you in this live free training, because we believe you deserve to succeed.

 

There’s LIMITED SPOTS, so claim your free seat for Monday’s live training at www.creativrise.com/live or text “live” to 916-587-6417 to sign up! And throw it on your story & invite your friends because we want to blow this information up to as many people as possible!

 

 

This week on the podcast we are introducing you to Creativ Rise Mastermind graduate Matt Chung (@chunger_shoots), a brand photographer, filmmaker and influencer who is absolutely crushing some big time dreams and goals within his business. He has only been full-time for about a year and has worked with brands like Cotopaxi, Travel Belize, MVMT, 66 North, PolarPro, Nakie, Basecamp Hotels and many more. Matt is going to share his experience this past year building his brand, the mindset shifts he believed changed the course of his entire business, his experience in the Mastermind and what he believes creatives need to do to succeed.

But don’t just take it from us, here is what one of our recent Mastermind grads said:

Before joining the Creativ Rise fam, I felt like I had hit a wall in my business. I had lofty goals but I wasn’t growing, I wasn’t valuing myself properly, and honestly I just felt confused about my next steps. After joining the 6 week Mastermind, my business TOOK OFF. I always understood business, but actually having step-by-step processes related to my work was game changing. Actually, life changing. I improved in every aspect I was hoping to and more: Outsourcing, Client Relationships, Raising Prices, Offering More Services, Winning more discovery calls with clients, feeling confident in myself and what I had to offer, and the list goes on. I had my first 6 figure year while working half the hours I expected to. I can’t thank Christy and Joey enough for showing me what is possible and giving me the exact steps to reach my goals.

Wondering how well the mastermind will grow your business? 👇🏼

When I became a photographer I never realized that I was also signing up to become a business woman! I love to take photos, I have the creative eye, but I never understood how to confidently sell my services. The mastermind helped me unlearn everything I had assumed about business and photography and completely rebuild the framework of my business. From the outside- my business might not look very different- but the inside was flipped inside out and I’ve never been more confident and successful. My revenue doubled from the year before. Creativ rise taught me that selling is as simple as identifying a problem and providing a solution to it. My business is forever changed and I’ve got a community cheering me on even a year after the mastermind finished. I can’t recommend the mastermind enough!

** FREE sales call training - use link below! **

 

Sales calls should work - and they shouldn’t be terrifying.

 

We are giving you the top 3 tips of how to nail your intro for a sales call! How to sell even before you start talking about your service. 🚀

 

This episode we drew inspiration from Creativ Rise Mastermind graduate, Kyler Miles @kyler_miles who was on a Mastermind group call during the last week of the Mastermind and he asked a question about a sales call. We asked Kyler to pitch us, LIVE, in front of the 34 other businesses inside of the Mastermind on our group call. He agreed. And then Joey live-pitched him back on his offer on the sales call role play. It was awesome - Kyler crushed it and Joey provided an entirely different tactic that proved very effective to the community. Want a front row seat to this sales call role play with Kyler? Well, you’re in luck because Kyler agreed to make the sales role play public and available to you! Head to www.creativrise.com/salescall to access and watch the recording NOW. Totally free. Head over now to learn and grow from this sales call demonstration. PS: it’s also a ton of fun giving you an inside look of what just a tiny piece of that Mastermind calls are like!
