About this FieldTrip

“How do I price my creative services?!?“

As a business coach for creative freelancers and entrepreneurs, this is one of the most common questions I hear from creatives who know they’re undercharging, but don’t know what to do about it.

If you’ve ever struggled with pricing, you’re in good company. Pricing is HARD!

After all:

• The deliverables are often intangible.

• There is no universal “rate sheet” or one-size-fits-all strategy.

• Clients rarely share their budget (so annoying!)

Given the complexities of pricing creativity, is it any wonder you default to the most accepted pricing model - the hourly rate - even if you know it’s not the best strategy for you?

If you’re ready to ditch guesswork and start pricing based on your expertise and the value you bring, this workshop is for you!

Join me and a fantastic group of your creative peers for an interactive, actionable webinar focused on what you need to know, communicate, and do before you quote a price.

We will cover:

• Mindset and why it matters

• Packaging your services to sell

• Better pricing strategies

If you’re ready to position yourself to higher-quality, better paying clients, come join us!

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
