    165. Shooting For The World Cup, Hitting 6 Figures & How To Respond To A No w/ Kelsey Zafiridis

    165. Shooting For The World Cup, Hitting 6 Figures & How To Respond To A No w/ Kelsey Zafiridis

    The bright & fun Kelsey Zafiridis (@kelseyzafiridis.photography) just crushed it in this episode. Kelsey is an Australian creative and Mastermind graduate opens up and gives exactly what she did to hit the 6 figure mark this last year in her business. She's lighthearted, wise and we can't wait for you to tune in!

    In this episode, we talk about how she grew a 6 figure business, shooting for the World Cup (!!), how to use your past for leverage for your business, putting yourself out there as a creative, how to respond to a no and sacrificing what you want now for what you want in the future. ⚡️It's SO GOOD. 

    If you want to be around people like Kelsey and have the same experience she went through, the 6 week Creativ Rise Mastermind is FOR YOU. BUT.. this Sunday Feb 25th is the LAST day for Applications for the Creativ Rise Mastermind! 🚀 If you're ready to be inside of a Mastermind of 30 creatives for 6 weeks led by us (Joey & Christy) in order to grow and scale your creative business, we'd invite you to apply. There's only a few more spots left 🤯, apply today to snag one of the few remaining ones!

    If investing in yourself is holding you back: this Mastermind is less than most camera bodies. 🤯 You can also get started for literally $600. This Mastermind is designed to teach you to make money in your creative business, don't miss out. We won't be running another one for another 6+ months!

    If you are a creator who is under the 6 figure mark in your business and you don't feel you have the exact tools, strategy and most importantly, the community to get to 6 figures in 2024.. that can all change.. Imagine having a library of over 15 hours of content - teaching you the tools and strategies you need, a tight knit community of 30 other creators cheering you on, and accountability systems and coaching from Christy and Joey.. would it shortcut you and your business by a year? 2 years? 5 years? We think so. That's exactly what we designed the Creativ Rise Mastermind to do. Give you a massive creative business shortcut in 6 weeks. 

    Listen to what Hayley Zumkeller had to say, 

    "Before joining the Creativ Rise fam, I felt like I had hit a wall in my business. I had lofty goals but I wasn’t growing, I wasn’t valuing myself properly, and honestly I just felt confused about my next steps. After joining the 6 week Mastermind, my business TOOK OFF. I always understood business, but actually having step-by-step processes related to my work was game changing. Actually, life changing. I improved in every aspect I was hoping to and more: Outsourcing, Client Relationships, Raising Prices, Offering More Services, Winning more discovery calls with clients, feeling confident in myself and what I had to offer, and the list goes on. I had my first 6 figure year while working half the hours I expected to. I can’t thank Christy and Joey enough for showing me what is possible and giving me the exact steps to reach my goals."

We think so. That's exactly what we designed the Creativ Rise Mastermind to do. Give you a massive creative business shortcut in 6 weeks. 

    Listen to what Madi Ruslin had to say, 

    "Loved my experience with CRM! Came into the mastermind just trying to figure out my business on my own, without a ton of direction on my brand and where I wanted my business to be, or how I needed to structure my business to get to my dream goal. Throughout the past 6 weeks I was flooded with info and goals and have more perspective now on where I see my business going. The accountability pods helped tremendously to keeping each other motivated and disciplined. I nearly doubled my projected income in the last 6 weeks from $20k - $40k+, with more in process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to grow their business, set refined and realistic goals, and to make a community of other creatives trying to do the same thing!!!"

    Round 11 of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is launching for application on February 18th! 

    Creativ Rise has given 276 service based creative businesses the strategy & tools, community and accountability systems to generate millions - seriously, our mastermind community has generated over 15 MILLION in sales since 2019. Who said creatives have to be broke eh? Nah.
