"Justine's Creative Business Bootcamp was the single best investment I made this year. I was at a crossroads were I wanted to find clients that aligned more with my values and where I wanted to be in the long run. The course helped me shift my perspective entirely and think about what hiring managers were looking for. Justine has the unique perspective of being on the hiring side for 20 years and working with 100's of creatives. It is crazy to me how much changing my marketing brought in a ton of new clients and not only that, but the clients I specifically wanted. Her bootcamp really works, and it's also great to have met a new network of creatives through the process too. If you're on the fence, do it! So worth it."

“I wanted to say THANK YOU for everything. I've gotten so much out of this bootcamp and working with you. You are amazing. Thank you for all the amazing work you do and all the love that you put into it.”

“Before joining The Creative Business Bootcamp, my work was hyper-localized and most of my referrals were coming through one woman in my very small town. I knew I needed a more national reach but wasn't sure how to accomplish that goal.  The feedback and perspective I got in the bootcamp about how I was positioning myself was priceless. I realized I was holding on to ideas, images, and names that had sentimental value, but didn’t translate into my ideal clients.

The bootcamp gave me the confidence to niche my business specifically for designers and builders, change my name from Ramshackle Genius to Dwelling Creative and expand my network and client base nationally. I’m now working with my dream clients, charging three times my old rate, knowing I can deliver results and I have more high-quality clients now than I can keep up with!

I joined the Creative Business Bootcamp with an entirely different business than the one I left with! I'm so grateful!”

“Justine’s Creative Business Bootcamp was exactly what I was looking for. I am in the process of re-vamping my business and was feeling stuck with everything I had to do and consider. I had come to the realization that sitting back and waiting for clients to just roll in is NOT a business plan, duh.

As a result of working with Justine, I’m much clearer about the kind of clients I want to work with, am more confident in what my unique strengths are, and feel clearer about how to market myself (even as an introvert!).

The program was a great and affordable introduction to working with a coach, and Justine is very personable, organized, and has her *stuff* together. She’s generous with her time, very responsive, and honest about where you’re doing well and where you could put some more thought.  I’m so happy I decided to sign up. Thank you Justine!”

"Justine helped me re-structure the way I thought about my business. After neglecting my branding and design business to focus on my start-up I was in the desperate position of needing to quickly bring in new work that paid well. Justine helped me figure exactly who I wanted to work with, what I had that they needed, and how to make it easy for them to select me as the perfect match for their challenges.

A few months later I have three new big clients, probably the best I’ve ever had, and know exactly how to grow my business from here on. I just need to execute.

Working with Justine is the single best advice I would give any creative business owner looking to grow their business quickly and consistently - period."

When I went back to full-time freelance after a few years in an office, I knew I needed to strategize about taking my work as a self-employed writer and editor to the next level. During the bootcamp, I worked to hone in on my niche and create messaging and marketing strategy that speaks to the clients I want to attract. It’s paying off and I’m doing absolutely great! Business has been so good that I recently fulfilled the dream of becoming the sole breadwinner for our family. I also finally launched a new project I’ve been planning — a website for women freelancers — and have all kinds of ideas to build it into an amazing resource. It’s a pretty great feeling to be succeeding and to be thinking bigger than ever!

“Before signing up for the Creative Business Bootcamp I was struggling with a lack of focus and direction in my photography business. Justine’s process and coaching provided me with a set of tools that made me get out of my own head and focus on creating a business that I really want. It’s a work in progress but I’m SO much closer to my goals because of Justine and the Creative Business Bootcamp. Thank you!”

“Participating in the Creative Bootcamp has given me clarity and a sense of direction with the addition of practical tips which I can always fall back on whenever I need to refine my direction again or when taking next steps in my business. Before this Bootcamp I felt frustrated about not being able to find a clear direction and was stuck in the process of taking my business to the next level. This course has helped me narrow down my special gift, who my ideal client is and the confidence in marketing this.  I’ve come away from this course with an ability to communicate clearer and plan my next steps in order to build the business and life I aspire to. I know I will go back to Justine in the future for extra coaching to help me with future challenges.”

“What a huge relief to connect so many dots and get a firm grip on my own value and strategy! It’s hard to admit this, but before I met Justine I was… lost. I beat myself up for lack of focus. But now I can more confidently answer “What do you do?” without stress or ending the conversation. The clarity I’ve achieved priceless, as is Justine’s program’s structure for my further betterment. I’m refreshed and motivated to think like a creative solopreneur about my business and my marketing.”

"I joined Justine's Creative Business Bootcamp, with the resistance of a callused 30-year film industry veteran. But with a gentle deft hand and clear directions Justine soon got me to sit down and look at my business, reexamine the reasons why I chose to do what I do and rediscover the things that still excite me to the marrow.

What is it I do best? How do I find the people you want to work with? What can I give of myself that is beneficial and in need? Justine’s straightforward and clear approach belies how difficult it is to answer these questions to yourself.

But the value of the course I didn’t anticipate was, for me a fundamental shift in perspective. As an artist, trained to look inside for inspiration, I was hitting the bottom of the well. By reexamining what it is I do I discovered a new way to approach my work, looking more outwards learning to listen better to my subjects as well as to my clients.

I’m a work in progress, but am certainly set out on a new mission. I have started approaching people with new ideas. I have been asked to submit proposals and, most importantly, I know what the work is ahead of me and I know what the steps are that I have to take.

Thank you Justine. I feel like you kicked the rock away from under the wheel and now I’m rolling again!"

I wish I had found Justine’s Creative Business Bootcamp when I first started my business a few years ago. The bi-monthly Zoom meetings with the whole group were incredibly helpful for hearing other creatives’ perspectives. I had great accountability partners to talk to as well, that I’m still in touch with today. The course modules are well paced so I could continue to manage my clients and day to day projects. I even changed the name of my LLC to something more relevant and reworked my entire website thanks to inspiration from the modules. As a result of the hours invested in this bootcamp, I now have the clients I want to be working with and more free time to travel. Thank you so much, Justine!

“When I came to Justine, I was at a point in my career where I needed a jumpstart. 
I had clients, and I had work, but I had lost some long-term clients and while I had tried to generate new work, my plan [or lack of one] was not working. I had joined Business Networking groups, but that route was not working for me. And then I learned of Justine’s Creative Business Boot Camp – an intimate group of creative professionals in similar situations who would meet, talk, share successes and failures. Initially skeptical, but in need of that jump-start, I signed up. In the four months of our meetings, Justine helped me to re-focus, re-energize, and re-structure how I approach my business. Consequently, Justine and my Boot Camp Colleagues were an amazing source of inspiration, motivation and just the focus I was needing. A well spent four months with ten times the return on the investment!”

“Before signing up for the Creative Bootcamp course, I'd been scrambling to build my business on my own, unable to gain traction because I'm my own toughest client! During the 4-month Bootcamp, I was able to accomplish an incredible volume of work in a short amount of time; I gained clarity around who my ideal clients are, what my unique position and offering is, and how I wanted to package and price my services. I got much-needed accountability and, as a result, I was able to completely overhaul my website in less time than I ever would have on my own. Thanks, Justine!”

"Joining Justine in the Creative Business Bootcamp was an invaluable experience! Her insights and suggestions were always very inspiring on our group calls. All of the assignments she crafted were incredibly succinct and results driven. Justine goes beyond typical brand positioning advice. She encourages a beneath the surface approach that simplifies and helps align your spirit and passion with your brand and work. Justine helped me get very clear on who my dream client is and how to most authentically and effectively market myself to them. I have redesigned my website and am incredibly excited about putting myself and my brand out into the world! Thank you Justine!"

“Almost as soon as the bootcamp started, I felt a subtle but real shift in my mindset and the phone didn’t stop ringing.”
