“I am so proud to announce that I received my first big design fee. The previous one last year was $10k, which was quite a huge step for me (I am not sure that I shared that with you or the group because it felt low compared to others!). And now I am at $40K.

“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the recent Summit! I laughed and cried as we delved deep into the psychology of issues that hold us back from success.

Here’s the big news; I went on consultation 2 days after Summit. The potential client assumed $100k for the budget. In the next moments, I calculated my fee based on my estimated budget for construction. I started by letting her know that I didn’t want her to encounter any surprises and I let her know that my fee would be $20K.

Within 4 hours she contacted me to move forward!”

“I was in your program back in 2012 and I’m writing to you to let you know how well we’ve done and progressed over the years because of you and your program. We have exceeded one million gross revenue the last three years in a row, and I purchased a 2,400 square foot studio space in 2017 and built it out, something I never would have had the courage to do without your program.

You made SUCH an impact on me and my business. I remember standing in your living room in Tucson and telling my story of raising three kids in three years and when my youngest went to school my husband said now is your chance if you want to recreate yourself. I immediately enrolled in design school.

My crazy stretch goal was to be able to let my husband retire and give him the same opportunity– he retired at 51 in 2015.”
