Workshop Details:

Six Steps to Grow Your Successful & Sustainable Six-figure Business with Julie Wienen Withrow

In August 2015, Julie left a comfortable corporate marketing job to take a chance on herself. She finally faced her fears and made the leap from full-time to freelance. Today, she's running her own content marketing agency, building a team, and on track to double her revenue in 2020. She'll share the six-step strategy she's used to grow a successful and sustainable six-figure freelance career and business. You’ll come away with: (1) Clarity about choosing your niche — and why you need one (2) Proven tactics you can use to find ideal clients (3) The foolproof way to raise your rates — that's a win for your clients, too

Setting Boundaries That Set You Free! with Jaime Rowe

Are there ways you can improve your self-care? Do you feel stressed on a regular basis? Do you say YES too often even when you KNOW deep down that you should say NO? Learn to listen to your authentic voice and feel good about saying NO to actions that don't connect to your purpose and say YES to YOU and more joy in your life.

Paying Yourself with Terra Jo Vigil

You started a business to make money doing what you love. You work hard and it's time for a consistent paycheck. We will examine business finance at a holistic level. You will leave this workshop with a better understanding of your business finances, savings plans for taxes and growth, plus a plan to pay yourself on a consistent schedule.

Retirement Planning for the Self-Employed with Liz Windisch, CFP(R)

Self-employed womxn don't have corporate benefits, but that doesn't mean you can't stash away tax-advantaged savings for your retirement. Womxn won't be socially equal until we are financially equal - learn what steps you can take to help yourself.

We will keep you fueled throughout the day!

Breakfast will be provided by Just Be Kitchen and Kataluma Chai.

Lunch will be provided.

Afternoon treats by Stargazer Chocolates and Holidaily Brewing.
