business no longer feels overwhelming
Cat’s support and guidance has helped me to take my business full-time which was a huge goal of mine when we started working together. I have developed a deeper understanding of running my own business and how to manage everything from pricing, process, finding my dream clients, and much more! I love Cat’s approach to running a design business and it now doesn’t feel so overwhelming! Cat’s wisdom is unparalleled and I can’t thank her enough for bringing together such a wonderful community of designers and like-minded people. Thank you, Cat!

i'm running my business instead of it running me
I’ve gone from always chasing my next project to work on to being booked out for two months in advance! I feel so much more like I’m running my business rather than my business running me and I can’t thanks Cat enough for that! I love how you promote running your business in a way that works for you and not to feel pressured to be doing the same things as everyone else.

This program can suit you in whatever stage your creative business is in! The audio on the go mentorship is less about where you are and more about your capacity for support. We don’t always have the headspace or time for closer support!
-
I support you as a mentor by answering all of your submitted questions via the podcast with personalised guidance AND more general support so every episode is helpful for everyone and sharing my experiences and strategies in my BTS episodes
-
You can join for one month, three months or six months and then you can decide whether to stick with it on a rolling basis! The longer you stay, the more you can work on and the more progress you can make
-
Daring Steps is for any creative service provider looking for consistent progress and time to work ON the business instead of getting wrapped up in client work.
-
This program is completely flexible to work around your time, client delivery and lifestyle. If you have time to listen to the private podcast whilst you’re walking, working or resting - you’re good to go!
-
Daring Steps has been designed to support you to make progress in your business even when you're busy, even when you're overwhelmed and even when you have zero motivation.
