There’s a point in every creative business where grit and caffeine just aren’t enough. You need a team — but not just any team. You need the right people doing the right work at the right time.
In this Creatives Roundtable session, Nancy will show you exactly how to build the support system your business (and your sanity) needs. Real talk about scaling with freelancers, VAs, and part- and full-time team members — and keeping your vision at the heart of it all.
In this session, you'll learn how to:
- Challenge the myth of “doing it all yourself” — and why it's holding you back
- Figure out where you need help — and where you don't
- Find reliable, talented freelancers and team members who get your vibe
- Set up simple systems so everyone stays on-brand and on-track
- Set crystal-clear expectations so everyone works toward your vision
- Build strong relationships that make work easier (not harder)
- Grow your team — and your impact — sustainably and joyfully
Who it's for: Creative entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and studio owners who are ready to delegate smarter, scale sustainably, and (finally) stop being your own bottleneck.
Let's make scaling feel exciting — not exhausting. See you there!
