I saw myself helping to make another company rich. When I made the transition to go all on my own they actually became one of my first clients!! I absolutely love being a full time entrepreneur!

Fulltime in my business! I have been self-employed for over a decade and honestly I could never go back. I am a designer and digital artist with close to 30 years of creative experience, and right now I am in one of the most exciting seasons of my business life. I run a membership community for Christian women building product-based creative businesses... think Etsy sellers, tumblers, print-on-demand, crafters, makers. I create ready-to-use digital art and design resources for them every single week, and I get to pour into them through our community on Skool. It is a rebuilding season for me in the best possible way. I am building something that actually fits the life I want, and I wake up every morning genuinely grateful I get to do this. STRUGGLING in the area of marketing and lead gen so Here I Am SO THANKFUL that God crossed our paths!! Andrea, I have to say the fact that you are building something this meaningful on top of a VP role at Techstars is next level. That takes a kind of dedication most people do not understand until they are living it themselves.

@Andrea Palten It is 100% on my radar!!! and Thank You!!! My website is: https://www.jesicamarshall.com/ and you can join my skool group here: https://www.jesicamarshall.com/join_the-creative-connection-community If anyone reading feels like they are a fit for our tribe I would LOVE to have you join us!! The community is completely Free!!

I currently have a 5-8 email sequence depending on where you enter my funnel. BUT each of those roll right into my Email Nurture Sequence that sends three emails per week. They are completely evergreen and meet the potential member or current member right where they are at!! Sunday Reflection, Midweek Encouragement (on Wednesdays) and Creative Invitation (on Thursdays) and my open rates are 50%+ for every email which is exciting to me!

@Andrea Palten THANK YOU!!! atleast I have one piece correct!!! Now if I can just figure out the Lead Gen to get people Into The Funnel!!! Once I get them into my ecosystem I do pretty well it is the Getting them into the funnel where the struggle is real!! I am working with Claude now fixing some mistakes on the website that are holding me back so maybe its a good thing that the eyes on things have been slow lol

@Debra Verrall now you have me wondering if building something like this would help my members hmmmmm... This is cool!!

@Debra Verrall could not agree more!! I may be back to ask questions!! Ha!!
