When Emma first started her design business, she poured her heart into every project but rarely saw the payoff she imagined. She was busy, but clients often wanted "champagne looks" on a beer budget. She worked 7 days a week, but her bank account struggled.
Everything shifted when Emma started business coaching with Nancy Quinn of Profit Insiders Coaching. Once she revamped her brand to genuinely reflect her style, set prices that matched her expertise, and got comfortable saying no to projects that weren't a fit, the right clients - who valued her and her work - started showing up.
A year later, Emma wasn't invisible anymore. She was booked solid, charging what she was worth, and earning double.
When Emma started her coaching journey with Nancy, she wasn't getting consistent inquiries. She hadn't closed a contract in months. She had a couple of paid consultations under her belt but wasn't landing full-service projects.
Emma wanted more clients, clarity on how to price her services, and the confidence to make a real profit doing the work she loved. She was ready for visibility, clients who valued her, and a business built on profit - not guesswork.
(Spoiler: She found all that and more.)
Nancy helped her lay the groundwork for the changes she needed in her business. She helped Emma refine her service offerings, dial in her pricing structure, and practice how to present proposals confidently.
With access to real-time coaching, Emma began to:
* Quote with accuracy and confidence using The Key pricing tool.
* Learn how to present proposals with ease and confidence.
*Implement a marketing strategy that attracted her ideal clients.
With each small win, Emma transformed her belief in what was possible for her.
A few months in, Emma closed her first full-service project and had her best-ever proposal presentation. It wasn't luck - it was practice, preparation, and finally having a support system that challenged her to think and act like a business owner.
Emma also tackled the emotional side of her business: perfectionism, fear of raising rates, fear of what other people would think of her, and hesitation around investing in her business.
These mindset shifts were key.
Within months, Emma:
For the first time, Emma's business pipeline wasn't just active... it was full. She didn't need to scramble.
