Go from winging it to CEO-level planner

Business Planning Workshop

Create a strategic plan for your web design business like a visionary CEO so that you can stop flying by the seat of your pants and start making powerful decisions now that will pay off later.

Make the shift from solopreneur to CEO

Map out your next 12 months with a plan that actually supports your life, price your services based on what you need to thrive (not just what you think clients will pay), start thinking and making decisions like the CEO you’re meant to be, and learn the mindset behind confidently selling profitable projects no matter what’s happening in the economy. This workshop is for you if…

You’re tired of feeling scattered and reactive

You want strategic insights into consumer behavior in uncertain economic times so that you can plan for your business to thrive in any economic environment.

Your big revenue goals feel out of reach

You want to stop setting your rates based on what you think clients can afford instead of what you actually need to thrive.

You’re operating like an overworked employee

You want to break free from the day-to-day grind where you’re unable to make the strategic decisions that truly grow your business.

IMAGINE WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE IF...

Your goals, pricing, and schedule felt like a roadmap to freedom instead of a trap you’re stuck in, and your work days felt spacious, profitable, and actually fun again.
You priced your services in a way that felt so aligned with your goals that saying those big numbers became an empowering act instead of an anxiety spiral.
You led your business with unshakeable confidence, no matter what’s happening in the economy or the world – knowing you have the mindset to thrive in any season.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I'm Shannon Mattern!

Hi, I’m Shannon Mattern and I’ve been coaching and mentoring women web designers for 10 years on pricing, sales, marketing, and managing clients – as well as the core mindset shifts needed to stop undercharging, overdelivering and people-pleasing.

Because it’s not just about strategy (although ours are life-changing) it’s about shifting what you believe at your core about the value of what you do, about giving yourself permission to design a business you actually love, and building the belief that what you want truly is possible.

And that’s where I come in.
