    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."

    - Hayley Zumkeller @hayleyzumkellerphotography

    Creativ Rise has given 278 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.

You are all I listen to!!! ,

Most Valuable Content I’ve Ever Consumed

By far the most valuable content I’ve ever consumed online- by any creator, ever. Joey and Christy are experienced professionals, excellent communicators, and just flat out rock stars! The fact that the information they teach is on here for free blows my mind. I’ve purchased online classes from other creators over the years that teach creative business- this podcast offers more for free than those courses I paid $1,000+ for. Their passion and focus on adding fuel to your business is evident. Every podcast is extremely well thought out and planned ahead of time so no sentence spoken is wasted. Everything they say is packed with value. I’m a brand photographer and videographer. I started listening to this podcast earlier this year right around the time I was shooting my first project with ENO Hammocks. I used the lessons and tips they teach about client experience to foster a really healthy relationship with ENO’s marketing team. Before I was done with the shoot, ENO asked me if I’d be willing to work with them again. I’m currently in the planing phase to shoot a product launch campaign for a new product they are releasing at the beginning of 2024. And I owe that success to this podcast. I don’t even listen to Apple Podcasts, I listen on Spotify and watch it on Youtube- But I felt so strongly about this that I wanted to share my thoughts on here too. I’m so pumped to apply to round 10 of the mastermind in the next few weeks when applications go out. If this is the information they give out for free, I can’t imagine what I’m going to learn in the mastermind and how that is going to grow my business. Joey and Christy- I can’t thank you enough for everything that you guys do, from your consistent weekly podcast to your mini online courses about building websites and client out reach. You guys are the real deal, keep killing it! Thank you so much :) -Austin Farmer

This is a Business Changer

This podcast literally changed the direction of my business. It is so informative and simply put…logical. It’s not some magic formula. They don’t ask you to take a risk on their program and method. You literally hear what they are saying and think, “Oh that makes sense.” This stuff is gold. All you have to be is humble enough to receive this information and watch how it changes your business. Joey and Christy thank you for this podcast. I hope to join one of the future masterminds!
