On a recent podcast episode, Carina Gardner spoke with Design Suite member Julie Thompson on the mind blowing success she has had in her businesses paired with her designing skills. Not even a year into the program, Julie Thompson took flight and was able to make 200 sales in one month.
“It felt really difficult and overwhelming at first,” Julie explains, “so it just really helped seeing… all the different trainings. That helped give me more confidence to be able to do this… And once I did it, it was crazy how I was like ‘oh this isn’t so bad’... it just gave me the momentum to keep going.”
When Julie realized she can do more than she thought she could, that’s when her confidence increased. Therefore she got a lot done, resulting in a lot of business success. “I think the biggest thing is just trying to be consistent and trying to keep uploading,” Julie states.
In regards to what the program has done for Julie, she says, “I think the accountability for me is a big one… knowing at the end of the week I have to post whether I did it or not… knowing I have some timelines just to kind of help keep me going has been huge… I’ve never had as much concentrated instruction and help.”
Like Julie, you can join a Design Bootcamp and be greatly benefited. When Julie joined the program, she said, “I just saw one of your Instagram ads… I felt just totally lost… I had no clue [how to make designs marketable]... so I joined your bootcamp, and basically by the second day I’m like ‘yeah I’m totally doing this’,” she said.
Live bootcamp was so special and magical, as Julie described it. Meeting all of the incredible women she did and building those long lasting friendships provides her with a great network that will benefit her in her business.
“It really is a good place to understand what we do,” Carina explains about bootcamp, “we never want people to be confused about why we do what we do and how we focus on sales, because we think design and sales should go together.”
Going forward, Julie plans to build up her Etsy shop and website, increase her design skills more, and work more in the freelancing jobs that came about through this program. By pairing design and sales, there will be a great amount of success to your business. Julie is a perfect example of this.
Julie says about joining the program, “If you’re questioning, just do it, it’s amazing. I feel like this has been such a blessing in my life, and I’m so thankful for Carina and all that she just gives and gives. It’s just been such a great experience for me.”
