What Clients Have to Say

I have a clear sense of the direction I want my business to head in…

…before I felt like I was grabbing work for a paycheck –whether or not it was something I enjoyed doing– but now I am focused on where I want my business to actually go and how I want it to look. I am already using this knowledge when pitching and talking to potential clients.

What if you didn’t have to do it alone? What if you had a map that you had custom made for this journey? What if you had a personalized compass that helps you know where you’re at at all times? What if you had an experienced guide walking alongside you in the wilderness of running a business in a notoriously secretive industry? What if you had all the inner resources and tangible tools you need to not just survive this journey but thrive in process?

You don’t have to wander in the wilderness of entrepreneurship alone.

Create your bespoke map, harness your inner compass, and gather the gear you need with the help of an experienced guide.

If you’re here, it’s because you’re driven by adventure. And not just in your outdoor pursuits, but in how you live your life as well. Off the beaten path is a calling and you’ve answered it by walking away from the 9 to 5 to build your own freelance business instead. 


You chose this path to have freedom over your own time, work in an industry you're passionate about and balance work with play. But the struggle to balance landing clients, doing the work you love, and trying to make ends meet is taking a toll. Are you free if you’re consumed by self doubt?

You expected it to be challenging. But maybe it doesn’t have to be quite so hard…

If you’re looking for sustained, 1:1 guidance that is 100% tailored to your current challenges and long term goals, this is for you. We’ll leverage everything you’ve already created and work together to overcome any challenges in real time to accelerate your business growth.
