A gentle note about boundaries (cause we all need them right now)

I just want to highlight the fact that there are LOTS of boundaries that we don’t even realize are boundaries, a few examples are above.

-payment boundaries
-personal brand boundaries
-energy boundaries
-collaboration boundaries

Way more than just time, money and social media. It’s okay to draw boundaries if it’s impeding you from doing your best work. Because at the end of the day, that’s what boundaries in business are all about. ❤️❤️

k something’s different around here 👀

why we’re ditching the “10k” in our name... because honestly? You’re way past that.

Having a specific number in the name started feeling weird - like we were putting this random ceiling on what you can do with your business.

This isn’t about hitting some magic number anymore. It’s about getting paid what you’re worth while doing what you actually love (wild concept, I know)

And since we’re changing things up... we went ALL in 🫡

Swipe to see what’s new:

❤️ Going through modules as a cohort (do your own thing if you want tho)
❤️ A whole marketing course (because “just be consistent” ain’t it)
❤️ Sales processes for call-lovers AND call-haters
❤️ A new module about becoming literally iconic

And that’s just the highlight reel bestie. Every single module got a 2024 upgrade. Same supportive vibes you love, just leveled tf up ✨

Starting January we’re building 2025 success together (with early access in November because why wait?)

Only 20 spots because I actually want to know you. Comment GANG to get access and grab your spot. 🫡

You’re great at what you do. That’s not the problem.

The problem is that not enough people know it.

Expertise without visibility is like a lighthouse with no ships around - impressive, but not exactly fulfilling its purpose.

It’s not about shouting louder than everyone else. It’s about speaking clearly to the right people.

Your work has value. Your ideas matter. Maybe it’s time to let them reach further.

10KGG helps visionaries like you do just that. No fluff, no gimmicks. Just smart strategy for purposeful people. Comment 10kgg to get sent the link for the waitlist!

my creative queens and kings! 👑 I asked what you think a website should cost vs. what you’re actually charging. Spoiler alert: y’all are undervaluing yourselves more than a vintage Beanie Baby collection. But don’t worry, I gotchu! 💖

Let’s break it down:

What you think it should cost: 5k-10k
What you’re charging: 5k >
Industry average: 10k
What’s actually possible: 5k - 100k

You’ve been stuck in this online entrepreneur snow globe where everyone’s afraid to charge more than a latte for their skills. There are little bozos that love to shoutout how little they charge for their work. But, most of the real world? Makes a livable wage for their work.

Your expertise is worth more than loose change and an Instagram shoutout.

Don’t stress if you’re having a mini freakout about your pricing. I’m here to work through it, raising your prices takes one step at a time.

You don’t need to double your prices overnight.

So even if maybe just start thinking about how we can make your offers more profitable? That’s a win. We don’t need to raise the price of EVERYTHING. But we gotta make a change, now. Trust me, future you is already sending a thank-you note. 💅💰

What do we think friends is quarter too going to be a hit or a miss?

What are your q2 goals?🫶🏻

What if were to be so unserious about the spring gang of 10kgg opening today?? 😛 (Psssst there’s now a 6 month aka less of an investment option)

❤️‍🔥comment 10KGG to get the information about being a part of the gang.

Since 2020, the marketing game has been absolutely nuts ✨, the main thing happening since then has been a change in marketing. The straightforward path from problem awareness to becoming a customer? I don’t feel that’s quite as status quo anymore.

Now, the buying journey’s more unpredictable than ever, with people skipping steps like pros. So, does anyone really follow this ‘buying journey’ by the book anymore?

The reality is, not really.

This unpredictability isn’t a setback; it’s our cue to innovate. It’s time to throw out the old script and engage with our audience on a level that resonates more authentically. We’re crafting experiences that aren’t just transactions but genuine interactions. Our mission? To connect in ways that matter, turning every touchpoint into an opportunity to impress and build lasting bonds.

Audiences are navigating their own unique paths, and we’re here to guide them, making every step of their journey count. Let’s make marketing meaningful again.

Ready to learn a more innovative way to market and attract high ticket clients? In 10KGG we’re updating an entire new marketing module updated to 2024 standards. Comment “10KGG” to get on the waitlist with a discount for when this opens!❤️

Fun fact Friday girlies!! ❤️‍🔥🎉👑 Stay safe out there and have a fab weekend. One more week until digital product disruptor starts. Comment DPD to get in!!

Let’s spill the tea on passive income – it’s not exactly as easy as sleeping while dollars magically appear, but as a creative, it’s been a game-changer for me:

❤️Stability: No more 24/7 client hustle. I get to free up headspace and use my skills on things other than constant client projects.
❤️Slow and steady wins: It’s not a shortcut to a six-figure launch overnight. My digital products needed a year of launches to hit that consistent sweet spot.
❤️Payment plans: Shoutout to my fave – payment plans. Even if I stopped working today, I’d still be raking in 13k a month. And thats true peace of mind lol✨

If you’re wanting to bring a digital product into 2024 keep your eyes peeeeeled. We’ve got something coming.

ILY GUYS!!! thank you so freaking much for hanging with us this year. Seriously, it means so much to me to have your support, friendship and love ❤️ I started this little business to help and connect with more creatives and so it feels so special seeing another successful year go by where we grew ans connected more than I thought possible. Here’s my big fat love note to you all, ily!!

The easiest way to raise your prices? Decide. And take your decision seriously. What needs to change for you to feel confident raising your prices? What about how you’re showing up online needs to change so you can raise your prices?

LOVE YOU TO BITS AND PIECES. raise your freaking prices and rule the planet cause you deserve the world. You’re even more important than you know. ❤️❤️❤️

Who’s in?! What needs to change.

The last one is one that I think we need to remember more

That other designer that booked the job instead of you? They’re probably amazing too! And if it’s a better fit I would rather the business go to them than me.

We can for sure still have our sad girl day about it. But I promise more is coming for you. BETTER is coming for you.

For those of you who are like yeaaaaah but where are my clients though carli??

10k girl gang (my best selling program to help creative book more and bigger projects) is opening up its last cohort of 2023 on Monday. And the first 10 people get a 1-1 strategy plan and call with me.

Comment “10KGG” to be the first to snag a spot!

We’ve been experimenting with posting 3x a day since September and so far… we’re loving it.

I feel like instead of feeling like this is just a job I’m feeling so much more connected to you guys. Feeling wise it hasn’t been as overwhelming as we thought it would be.

If anything I feel like it’s given me more freedoms to experiment and post things I wouldn’t normally.

We’re still focusing on creating quality content, but we just have so much more room now to have fun with it. It doesn’t feel like there’s so much pressure on creating the perfect post.

Cause instead of only 3 posts a week we’re doing 15 posts, 30 if you count both platforms (there’s a lot of crossover)

But money and client wise- we’ve been seeing a huge difference. The way marketing continues is changing so much. The things we use last year aren’t working anymore.

WERE STEPPING INTO OUR ICON ERA SO BE PREPARED TO BE SICK OF ME ❤️✨

I have nothing against AI, I think it’s a great tool. But is it the end all be all?? Abso freaking lutely not haha.

It’s not going to be the end of career nor the making of it.

Just like all tools in the industry it just needs to be learned and used appropriately.

So when I saw someone making their entire PAID course via AI I had a little jump scare. What you brings to the table as a creator (someone with a unique background, personality, values) could never ever be replicated through AI. EVERRRR.

Not to mention the ethics of the thing. Just so freaking wrong.

If you’re going to try and give your entire business to AI. I’m sorry but AI or someone else WILL take your job from you.

You joining us? I think having a GROUP of people meeting weekly, all on the same path and working together. Is SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL than a course alone.

There have been so many times that I’ve seen people who normally didn’t even have questions learn so much by just being a fly on the wall and it’s my fave.

Like that feeling when you’re like YES. That’s what I’ve been feeling but just can’t put it into words??

Or seeing how someone else got their newest client, what worked for them and what didn’t.

JOIN US.

I have legit gotten this question at least 5 times today in my dms today so we’re dedicating a post to it.

And this might be a hit take but… I have seen more people say this than NOT say this. Guys the grass is not always greener on the other side!!

That other niche or area that you’re dreaming of to solve all your problems. WILL NOT MAGICALLY SOLVE UOUR PROBLEMS.

Some problems are DEFINITELY harder than others. And I don’t want to discount that. It IS hard and it’s not fun, but just somehow changing your niche or where you live is not always the answer

A little tough love for everybody cause I love you all and care SO MUCH about you guys being able to have the life you dream of. It is so possible. You can do it babe.

today was day one of our 0-1mil summit and it literally could have not gone better!! (You can still sign up!!)

we talked A TON about main character energy and being yourself… aka setting goals to grow YOU !!

You are quite LITERALLY your business and it’s all about scaling in a way that is healthy and good for you. your goals should bring growth 100% of the time babe, don’t let anyone tell you different

Growing your creative business shouldn’t feel so dang hard/take so dang long. But for lots of us, it does🙋‍♀️ Me included.

I’m not here to pretend I have an overnight solution that will solve all your problems and turn you into an expert on the spot (a girl can dream).

But I can tell you that’s hustling and working 70+ hours a week isn’t helping anyone.

it’s time to make goals and reach them again. It’s time to watch your business grow daily and not just overnight.

aug 14-16th we’re hosting a summit that will change your perspective on your business and help you FREAKING GROW the way you deserve!
