1:1 CREATIVE MENTORING

breakthrough

/ˈbreɪkθruː/

I know you love running your business and you are so proud of how far you’ve come. I also know that you can see more for yourself - more freedom, more flexibility, more time, more of the stuff you love over the stuff you don’t, more life, more money…

I know you have spent so long trying to figure out what that looks like for you and how to get there. And all of the courses, podcasts and even your clients just send you in a direction that is fine - but it’s not perfect for you

You want to run your business your way, you want to build the life you see yourself living, you want to make your business your dream job for as long as you want to work…

you want your breakthrough!

an amazing discovery or a huge amount of progress

working three days a week with record high income

After working with Cat, I feel super cosy, confident and comfortable in my business. I’ve had a complete mindset shift so even though my services look the same, the difference in how I feel is huge. I feel able to chat about my pricing easily and more clients are coming to me with higher budgets as I’ve made more time to market myself and connect whilst also making more time to rest. I am working less on the whole but making more than I ever have - I feel truly happy and can't wait to keep these values moving forward as I grow my business further and hopefully work with Cat again!

increased income after one session

Working with Cat has been great, having someone to go through different parts of the business and strategise was exactly what I needed to take my business to the next level! We ironed out my process to free up time, I worked out a schedule so I’m no longer overworked and overwhelmed and I increased my income from the first session!

hey, i'm cat

I’ve built my dream design business and have been working with dream clients and supporting my perfect life for a decade!

My dream business looks like sustainable, steady five-figure monthly income; dreamy high-ticket design clients booked six months in advance; working 15 hours a week and taking three months off a year; and running most of my business on autopilot, leaving space for my best creative expert self…

As a mentor, I don't need your dream business to look like mine. I want to help you find your version of success and the steps you can take right now to make it a reality…

I guide you to think bigger about your business and build the pieces that make it future-proof

I coach you through whatever feels difficult and how to make tough situations a thing of the past

I help you live and breathe being the confident creative expert you know you can be

I can guide you with your breakthrough ✨

how does breakthrough work?

 

6 x 90 minute mentoring calls

tailored topic strategy calls

Together we will have six bumper 1:1 mentoring calls where we can talk strategy, planning and making things happen. Each call focuses on a different topic so you know you are planning in everything you need to bring your dream design business to life. These calls can be booked in any order at any time throughout your six months, depending on what you feel inspired to work on at the time!

 

1:1 voice note mentoring

6 months of daily support using Voxer

Voxer and voice note mentoring is a transformational tool with my clients! You get full access to my support and guidance between our calls whenever you’d like to implement your strategy, talk through your confidence or discuss an ongoing issue. Think of me as a mentor in your pocket!

 

your personalised “dream business roadmap”

your strategic roadmap for your breakthrough

As we work through our strategic, tailored mentoring sessions, I will build your personalised “dream business roadmap” which you can take with you to expand your business even beyond our six months together. Including notes, recordings of our sessions and visual outlines of everything we discuss.

twelve months of extra group support

Want some time to work on the basics alongside your dream business expansion? You also get a space in my group mentoring program, The Clubhouse, so you can grow your network and focus on any foundations as we set you up to grow

more boundaries and in total control

Before working with Cat I was saying yes to every project just to make some money which lead me to working too much and in a constant burnout cycle. Within a few weeks I had created a new marketing strategy, found signature services that were doing things I actually wanted to do, and created a schedule to stop the burnout.

After our work together, I feel like a business owner rather than a freelancer! I have taken control of my business and I no longer let my clients run my life. I'm much clearer on my boundaries and I'm just a much happier in my business in general!

our tailored strategy sessions

  • 001: design your dream business

    We will discuss what your dream business really looks like and how you can build your dream lifestyle around it. Who are your perfect clients? What do you want to add into your business? What do you want to strip back? How will you balance your time?

    This is our kick-off session so we can both feel aligned on what we’re working towards and how the rest of our sessions will support your vision.

  • 002: build your lifetime offers

    Your business isn’t a business without your offers. We will design your current offers and packages for dream clients whilst also planning a ladder of services to expand your income and potential additional income streams for the future.

    This session will help you plan out your offers for years to come and where they fit into your future plan. It’s not just about right now it’s about how you can build with ease and peace moving forward.

  • 003: create your magnetic marketing

    To be magnetic to your perfect people, we need magnetic marketing and this needs a plan. We will build an intentional, easeful and consistent content and marketing plan that fits into your work week and attracts your dream clients.

    You will find marketing easier. You will no longer leave it at the end of your never-ending to-do list and this ease and priority is going to transform your business

  • 004: develop your expertise

    You are a creative expert - there’s no denying it! But sometimes we want to expand on certain areas of our business and build on what we can offer. We will plan what you can refine and how to make it happen. With prompts and passion projects to help!

    If it’s not about adding more onto your plate, let’s work on refining your expertise to make you the go to creative for your people who work on what you do best.

  • 005: cut your workload

    Your dream business doesn’t have to be busy. You can have more space, you can have more flexibility and you can have your dream work schedule. We will figure out how you will cut your workload to make this a reality and allow you to take at least 12 weeks off per year.

    Implementing processes, automations, outsourcing and task management is transformational in your business and with your time!

  • 006: your sustainable business plan

    Our work doesn’t end once we’ve worked together for six months. I want to set your business up to reach your version of success beyond the work we do together! Your sustainable business plan will include booking six months in advance, scaling and launching offers, consistently raising your rates and managing your time so you don’t slip into feast and famine.

why does breakthrough work?

You get to control when our sessions take place across the six months to make sure we are working in a way that suits your creativity and productivity! Want to get all the planning done first to implement later? No problem! Want to spread our sessions out to have one focus per month, that’s good too.

I don’t expect everyone’s business to be at the same point when we begin our work together. In fact, I expect the exact opposite! In building your business in your own way, you also get to control how you build and what you want to prioritise. We start with ‘Design Your Dream Business’ and from there, it’s your call.

The work we do in the next six months will not just impact those six months together. We are planning your business for long-term, sustainable success. You will have plans, strategies and processes that will support your entire business through all of its stages and all of your life stages for years to come.

here’s a few things i’ve supported my creative clients to achieve

  • Set a pricing structure so you can expand your income quickly instead of in small steps

  • Building an intentional & strategic ladder of services to reach your income goals without sacrificing time

  • Planning and taking time-off for maternity leave, honeymoons, holidays or just to regularly recharge!

  • Identifying big picture goals and planning a unique and joyful path to get there

  • Creating and consistently implementing a marketing schedule to attract dream clients

  • Creating, launching and selling passive income streams for joyful projects and additional recurring income

  • Building huge amounts of confidence as a business owner to make big but transformational decisions

  • Creating a long-lasting business by identifying unique design superpowers and sharing that with the world

succesful product launch alongside booking dream clients

My sessions with Cat were so valuable and without her support, I wouldn’t have the business I have today working with dream clients and selling my own products! Cat has guided me with her own knowledge and experiences but also helped me find my own ways that work and help me get to my own version of success. In the first few weeks of working together, I managed to raise my prices, create more consistent income and launch a successful Kickstarter for a dream product!

frequently asked q’s

  • My booking availability will be noted on my application form for Breakthrough! I generally book 2-3 months in advance so make sure you’re planning as best as you can.

  • Our strategy calls are best spaced out to one a month, however it is entirely up to you how frequently you book them in!

    Once you’ve booked your time, you will receive a short form to let me know how you’re feeling on each topic (marketing, processes, offers etc.)

    Then for your planned time, we will sit down on Zoom and talk through the strategy for each topic. You will be able to record the session to watch back at any time.

  • Once you’ve filled in your application form, I will read through your application to make sure we would be a good fit to work together. If so, I will either send out a link to book a call to talk through your business or a proposal to book your space for Breakthrough (depending on whether you’d like a call or not!)

    Once you’ve been accepted and confirmed the proposal, I will share my next booking space and you will be automatically sent information for our work together, schedulers to book your sessions and a form to tell me all about you!

  • I want to make sure we are a perfect fit for each other! I share plenty of advice and guidance in my blog, podcast and on socials so you can understand my values, style and approach as much as possible.

    Feel free to also drop me a voice note over on Instagram so we can chat a little before you apply ☺️

  • One of my superpowers as a mentor is seeing deeply into what business, strategies and plans would work best for you as a person and for your version of success!

    There is nothing I love more than diving into a creative business and pulling out all of the unique offers, messages and beliefs whilst also balancing that with exactly what goals you want to reach - both in your life and your business.

  • I don’t believe we can get the best results for you in just an hour or across a short amount of time. I want to know you more and make sure we get the most out of our time together.

    However, I do offer a Mini Breakthrough where you can book one strategy session and follow up with four weeks of Voxer support. I believe this is a great way to work together without missing out on the transformations you can achieve. Drop me an email at hello@gattoweb.com to learn more.
