Run an Easier Business with Systems with Amber Monaco

Running a business shouldn’t be hard. It should be easy and attainable, especially beyond the startup phase. Systems are the key to delivering on your promise, maintaining your brand, maintaining consistency, and exceeding client expectations. In this keynote, Amber Monaco, certified Director of Operations, inspires business owners to embrace systems so that there is more time in the business for creativity and strategy.

Branding & Self Promotion with Julie Cortés

All freelancers and creative solopreneurs need an identity and marketing strategy. How else will prospective clients find you? As hard as it may be, you need to put yourself out there. Why? Because people like to work with those whom they know, like, and trust. And a great way to become that person is by creating (and maintaining!) a solid brand and promotional strategy. Join us for this inspirational session, led by FX Founder & President Julie Cortés, to share ideas (and discover new ones!) as to best branding and self-promotion strategies for freelancers.

What Freelancers Should Know About “The Law” with Chris Brown

Freelancers are more likely to succeed if they take legal issues seriously. In this presentation and Q&A, Pixel Law founder Chris Brown will talk through LLCs, taxes, intellectual property, contracts, and more. Chris is a freelancer himself and has helped thousands of freelancers organize the legal side of their business. You can learn more about Pixel Law at pixellaw.com and connect with Chris @thepixellawyer on Instagram and Twitter.

How Do You Get New Business and Maintain a Steady Income?

CEO Hour with Amber Monaco

Take a special afternoon for you, as the CEO, to take some time to work on your business. You could do this alone, but I have created a worksheet and structure around the day so you leave feeling accomplished. Plus, you’ll be surrounded by other people who are working to make their business better too. Hello, inspiration!
