LISTEN UP

STOP ME IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR...

>

You've invested in other workshops with the hopes of learning more about marketing and business, but you've walked away with more questions than answers.

>

You feel like you're the only one who's struggling to attract the right clients, quote with confidence and grow your business. You wish you had a flower family you could connect with and ask all your questions without judgement or fear.

>

When it comes to growing your business, you're not really sure where to focus your time and energy. The to-do list is getting bigger but you don't feel like you're making real progress.

>

You're feeling pulled in 15 directions, overwhelmed and frustrated. Everyone else makes it all look so easy but you're not getting the results you want in your business.

If it does, then you already know how hard it is to get support + guidance.

I'VE GOTCHA COVERED

That's Exactly What Inspired Me to Re-Invent the Traditional Floral Design Workshop

I was fed up with hearing stories about passionate, ambitious designers — just like you — signing up for workshops but being left feeling frustrated, thanks to:

The secrecy around quoting, attracting clients and sharing the best shortcuts for getting customers so you know where to focus your efforts.

The hush-hush when it comes to marketing and making money. No one wants to reveal the real secrets to building a business and getting customers.

The fear of judgement by our peers makes us reluctant to speak up and ask the questions that really matter.

The lack of support when it comes to pricing, product planning, logistics and all the practical behind-the-scenes business stuff. 

Thankfully, all of that is behind you now...

You're Invited

  • You love learning and are eager to get to work. You've got questions, lots of questions and you're excited to learn what really matters when it comes to getting customers and making money. And you're keen to learn more about photography, foam-free design + business. 

 

  • You're open-minded and ready to step out of your comfort zone. But you want to do that in a safe, nurturing environment. You know you have what it takes to build a successful business. You're ready to embrace the discomfort needed for you to grow.

 

  • You want to connect with like-minded designers and build your flower community. You can't wait to connect with Kathleen and her team and build your network of passionate, motivated, heart-centred florists.

Your qualifications, formal training and years in business are not important. What matters is that you have a passion for flowers and want to build a profitable business.
