The Freelancerās Business Bootcamp.
Get all the tools you need to run a six-figure business from home.
Hey there š My name is Amy and Iāve been the heart and soul of Clover & Crow for almost 8 years now. As youāre probably well aware, running your own business from home doesnāt come without its challenges.
When I first started my business I WISH I had someone (a mentor if you will) to give me advice, share tips and tricks, and help me get a handle on process, organization, and client management. That seriously could have saved me a whole lot of time and grief!
Even though Iām so proud of where Clover & Crow is today, it took time as well as trial and error to get here. Over the past five years, weāve grown and changed and weāve reached the point where weāre a well-oiled machine, thanks to all the tools and systems we have in place. Because if weāre being honest here, so much of our workday consists of the actual running of our business, and not actually designing anything, amirite?
Building a six-figure business takes so much more than just being a great designer like having solid contracts in place, marketing to attract clients that donāt question your value, creating a streamlined on-boarding process that keeps you organized and gives your clients that red-carpet experience ā¦ all things that happen behind the scenes that are essential to having a profitable freelance business.
Enter The Freelancer's Business Bootcamp! Iāve been a teacher throughout every stage and change in my career over the past 15 years and Iām so excited to combine my love of teaching with my current passion. This online course and workshop takes a deep dive into the day-to-day tips, tricks, tools and systems essential for running a profitable design business from home (yes, you too can make six figures!!) Iāll walk you through ALL the tools we use here at Clover & Crow on a daily basis, share our past mistakes (and how weāve grown and learned), and give you all the advice I wish I had from the very beginning!
So, who is this course for?
It's great for graphic designers
Whether youāre just starting out or youāve been up and running for a while, this course will offer you insight into all the essential tools and processes you need to run your own business.

But it's also great for web developers

LETāS BREAK DOWN THE CURRICULUM, SHALL WE?
Iām not exaggerating when I say so much of our time as entrepreneurs is taken up with the actual day-to-day tasks required to run a business. Having the right tools in place will not only save you time, but will help streamline your process so you can be more efficient with the hours you spend in the studio.
