Making time to work on your business is hard.
Are you ready to nurture it?
Ready to level up with event sales and marketing?
More revenue. Better projects. Luxury prices. You want to reach these goals. The question is how to get there.
Traditional coaching takes a long time and makes you do most of the work. Retreats provide inspiration and refill the battery but don't offer a lot of takeaways. Conferences create opportunities with new partners but that's the long-game.
How to Fish Workshop will show you the most direct route to achieve the next level in your business. We all have endless to-do lists and not enough time to work our business.
Come spend dedicated time with an intimate group to start checking off that list.
