Freelance to full command
How Chany stopped doing everything herself—and finally hit the income she once thought was out of reach
“Some months I had a few small projects, some months I had bigger ones. It felt unpredictable.”

Chany had been running her graphic design business for nearly a decade—juggling client work with a part-time job, producing great results, and building a reputation for quality. But behind the scenes, her income was inconsistent, and her business lacked the systems and structure to grow.
“Some months I had a few small projects, some months I had bigger ones. It felt unpredictable.”
Like many creatives, Chany was doing it all herself—designing, communicating, project managing—and struggling to justify outsourcing.
“I always felt like I could just do it myself instead of paying someone else. Outsourcing felt like a luxury.”
When she came across Creative CEO Academy through a Slack group, something clicked. The idea of making $10–15K per month reliably through her own business felt bold—but exciting.
“When Chava said that, I thought, ‘Whoa. Could I really do that?’”
Encouraged by past participants who told her she’d make back her investment quickly, Chany enrolled in CCA—and immediately committed to the process.
“Over time, things really changed… it was a transformation that unfolded as I put in the work.”

"I loved the first class right away, but I was waiting for the magic to happen overnight. That's not how it worked. I did all my homework, implemented everything Chava taught, and slowly over time, things really changed. It wasn't instant—it was a transformation that unfolded as I put in the work."
Early in the program, Chany restructured her pricing. She started charging what her work was worth—and didn’t flinch when some clients walked away.
“I realized I didn’t need to justify or second-guess. These are my prices, and the right clients will pay them.”
Another turning point came she began seeing outsourcing not as a cost, but as an investment. Letting go of the need to do everything herself gave Chany the space to grow.
"[Chava] reframed that whole thing for me. Now I look at outsourcing as giving me time to do more. I look at it as such a worthwhile business expense."
Instead of piecing together custom projects, Chany created clear offers that aligned with her strengths and delivered more value per client. She even turned what she once saw as “small jobs” into a high-margin offer by creating systems around ad design—making it faster, easier, and more profitable.
Most importantly, Chany stepped into her role as a business owner—not just a freelance designer, but a creative professional in control of her time and energy.
“I started cutting down on the hours I was spending at my steady job—and I felt zero decrease in my income. In fact, I was making more. I reached my goal.”

Within six months of joining CCA, Chany hit the income milestone she had set on day one. Even after scaling back during maternity leave, she felt confident the systems she built would keep supporting her growth.
Chany’s business now runs with far more structure and strategy, and she makes decisions based on profitability—not just habit or assumption. She has achieved consistent high-earning months by identifying what actually drives revenue and building smarter systems to support it.
Chany also significantly cut down her hours at her outside employment—and yet, her income didn’t drop. It rose.
“I started cutting down on the hours I was spending at my steady job—and I felt zero decrease in my income. In fact, I was making more. I reached my goal.”
Now, Chany is excited to go through the program again. With lifetime access and annual updates, she sees Creative CEO Academy as a tool to keep building on her success, and she’s just getting started.
“I took my business up a notch—and I’m not done. I’m excited to listen again, go deeper, and grow even more.”
“Nobody should be trying to set up their business without this. I wouldn't even call it an investment because you make your money back so quickly.”

For those considering Creative CEO Academy, Chany emphasizes that it’s perfect for those who are serious about leveling up:
"If they are ready to do a lot of work and listen to all the classes, then it's an amazing opportunity. No one should be trying to set up their business without this. I wouldn't even call it investment because you make your money back so quickly. "
