11 am-noon EST - Erin Flynn - How to Create an Intro Packet to Streamline Client Screening and Onboarding

Going back and forth with clients takes forever. You have to explain your policies, what you need from the client, and how long the project will take. And you haven’t even gotten them to sign a contract yet!

Wouldn’t it be nice to streamline this entire process, and at the same time weed out clients who don’t agree with the fact you only accept scheduled phone calls?

That’s where the Intro Packet session comes in. In this session, you’ll learn how to create your own intro packet that walks potential clients through all your major policies, the basic steps of the process, and helps both you AND your potential clients decide if you’re going to be a great match. And the best part? The Intro Packet does all that before you waste time going back and forth via email or having hour-long Skype sessions!

2:30-3:30 pm EST - “Dr. Krista Burns”- 5 Ways to Go from Burnt Out to Balanced as a Creative Entrepreneur

As a creative business owner, we wear a LOT of hats. Photographer, Editor, Designer, Emailer, Bookkeeper, Marketer, the list goes on. It's no wonder we often feel like we're drowning in to-do lists, constantly on the cusp of burn out, wishing we could simply pause or slow down the clock so we can get it all done.

But, I believe (and am living proof!) that there's a way to find balance between our work and our lives that leaves room for our families, friends, other passions, and the things that set our hearts on fire. There is a way to have a thriving business and a thriving personal life, without making sacrifices to find success as a creative entrepreneur.

In this session, we'll go through 5 things you can implement into your business immediately to go from ""Burnt Out to Balanced"" so you can thrive in all areas of your life. We'll cover the strategies and tips that will bring more white space to your days, balance to your life, and simplification to your business.

It's time to stop making sacrifices. Your life is happening RIGHT NOW, and we need to make the most of it. Lucky for us as entrepreneurs, WE get to choose how we spend our life, our time, and our days. Let's stop glorifying busy, put overwhelm to the curb for good, and find balance in our lives once and for all!
