While we welcome a wide range of experience levels and do not have an application process, the program is most effective for those with a minimum of 2-3 years of freelancing experience and who are already earning at least $50K per year. (Participants are typically earning between $50K-$150K per year when they start the program)

This is a general guideline, not a rule. The bottom line is that the strategies taught in CCA are designed for those confident in the quality of their work and who have a proven track record of delivering results — and want to grow their business to the next level.

If you're brand new to freelancing, we recommend first building up your portfolio and client base a bit. Once you've established market fit and consistent client flow, you'll be positioned to get the most value from the program.

Definitely. We've had CCA participants who were making $10-20K per month but were also facing challenges like:

- Working crazy hours and sacrificing too much to hit those numbers
- Dealing with wildly fluctuating income from month to month
- Lacking the structure and systems needed for sustainable growth

While they were doing well on the surface, parts of their businesses weren't operating optimally, hindering their growth. If this sounds like you, CCA will help you shore up your business fundamentals, optimize your processes, delegate more effectively, reduce your workload, and break through to new levels of success.

Not at all! While I happen to be a copywriter myself, CCA is designed for a wide range of creative service providers, including copywriters, designers, coaches, consultants, photographers, videographers, web developers, marketing professionals, and really anyone selling creative services who wants to grow their business. The strategies and frameworks I teach are universal—they're not specific to any one type of creative industry.

While the main CCA cohort starting June 5th is open to women only, I'm excited to announce that we're launching a dedicated men's option for this session as well! The men's program will include all the same core content, resources, and support, though the format may vary slightly from the women's cohort. If you are interested, please contact me directly at creativeceoacademy@gmail.com for more details.

If you’re asking whether we sit around visualizing our dream life all day — no, that’s not what this is. CCA is highly implementation-focused. It gives you the strategy, structure, tools, and support to grow a business that can sustain $10K–$20K months with more ease and less hustle.

But the truth is, you can know exactly what to do, and still not do it. That’s where most people get stuck. Fear of raising prices, resistance to delegating, people-pleasing, avoiding leadership… those aren’t solved by downloading another template. They take real inner shifts.

So yes, we also talk mindset. Not fluff. Not theory. The kind that helps you actually follow through.

Because strategy alone doesn’t build a business — you do. And if you’re not showing up fully, none of it sticks. That’s why in CCA we do both. That’s why it works.

I totally understand that you're busy running a business! That’s why I’ve designed CCA to pack a wealth of value into a manageable time commitment.​​

The program spans 10 weeks, which includes two catch-up weeks (during which no new information is taught). Each of the 8 live trainings is about 90 minutes long and participants spend an average of 1-3 hours to complete the homework assignments.

There also are four optional 90-minute Q&A sessions spread throughout the 10 weeks — as well as a lively Slack group where you can participate as much or as little as you'd like.

Though the program does require a time commitment, previous participants have found that carving out dedicated time each week to participate in the calls and do the work paid off significantly in terms of the growth they saw in their business.

Since I get this question often, I developed a whole training on how to generate leads without being active on social media. ​You’ll learn how to create an effective referral engine in your business (and more). You’re gonna love it.

Nope. I obviously can't guarantee specific income figures (I’m not G-d after all!). But I can promise to equip you with the tools and knowledge that have helped me and others grow our businesses to multiple six figures in annual revenue.

What I offer in The Creative CEO Academy is a comprehensive synthesis of the systems and strategies that have resulted in the success of my own business and other creatives I’ve taught and mentored. So if you know you have a skill or talent people are willing to pay for and you commit to applying these strategies and techniques — and to staying open and coachable — I'm quite confident you can hit your income goals.

You bet! Our Slack community is a networking hub, brainstorming space, and support group all rolled into one. It’s also a thriving referral network where members regularly pass client opportunities to each other. In addition, our interactive Q&A sessions offer real-time troubleshooting as well as opportunities to engage face-to-face with other group members, cheer each other on, and learn from each other’s experiences. Past CCA-ers say that the supportive peer community is one of the most valuable parts of the program!

Absolutely! While I highly encourage you to attend live for the interactive experience, I understand that schedules vary. All live sessions are recorded, so you can access them at your convenience if you have to miss one.

That being said, to get the most out of CCA, I strongly recommend participating as much as possible. This means attending live when you can (or watching the recordings), engaging actively in the Slack community, and most importantly, doing the homework and implementing the strategies you learn.

Past participants consistently report that attending sessions live created a level of accountability that significantly accelerated their results. The more you put in, the more you'll get out in terms of tangible results and business growth.

While I don't offer traditional refunds, I do offer a conditional 100% risk-free guarantee: If you complete all modules, attend (or watch the recordings of) all live sessions, submit all assigned homework, and still aren’t satisfied with the growth you’ve seen in your business, I’ll refund your entire investment. (See here for specific details and terms.)

I’m taking on the risk because I’ve seen the transformative results CCA delivers when members fully commit to the process. I know that those who engage with the material, do the work, and implement what they learn see remarkable results. That's why I can confidently offer this guarantee.

Nope. There are no additional costs involved beyond your enrollment. Your one-time payment includes lifetime access to all the core program materials, as well as ongoing access to the private members' community, nothing hidden or extra required.

That said, once the 10-week program ends, we do offer optional continued support through weekly small-group mastermind coaching. It’s a separate offer for those who want more hands-on guidance as they keep growing—but totally optional!

Our next cohort begins Thursday, June 5, 2025, with our kickoff call and runs through Tuesday, August 19, 2025, with our goodbye call.

All live sessions are recorded and made available within 24 hours for those who cannot attend in real-time. You'll have plenty of flexibility to participate in a way that works with your schedule while still getting the full benefits of the program.

Note: Once enrolled, you'll receive a detailed calendar with all important program dates and deadlines to help you plan accordingly.
