“Since joining the program, I have gone from 2 clients to 10 clients. Before joining, my average invoice was close to $3,000. Now, my average has raised to $5,000, with a few of my invoices in the last 6 months reaching 5 figures!
The difference in my business is night and day--I feel empowered now, and that has translated my confidence to potential clients, and the energy and work just keeps flowing!”

Accelerator Success
"The knowledge and resources that Paul has shared are unmatched."
I joined to learn the business side of freelancing, and the program delivered. But the community has been the real highlight. Having peers who understand the same challenges has made all the difference.
Brainstorming pitches, celebrating wins, and sharing trends has become my favorite part.

“What sets this program apart is its systematic approach to transforming artistic passion into a viable business venture.
Within six months of the program, I experienced a notable surge in paid creative opportunities, securing a nine-month retainer with a new client for ongoing social media content and specialized shoots, alongside landing my first high-value project exceeding the 5K mark for a discerning client within my niche.”
