Two months y’all. It’s already been two months since we came together for those two amazing days of learning and community. ✨

We are so proud seeing what so many of you are doing already with your business goals, finding more balance in your daily lives and the connections you have made with fellow attendees. It’s so inspiring! ✨

We’d love to know more! What big business moves have you been making? What changes have been happening in your world since The Up Factor? How have things improved for you? We would love to know! ✨

Happy Monday everyone! We’ve been busy gearing up for the workshop, and we are so freaking excited about what we are going to be sharing, teaching and bringing you in a month! We are adding new amazing sponsors every week, so stay tuned! ✨

Also, if you didn’t catch last week’s IG Live “Tuesday Sessions,” we were SO thrilled to talk with Dallas photographer Sarah Kate. She’s not only a been running a successful business for 13 years, but she’s learned the ins and outs of raising her prices successfully year after year! ✨

So many creatives have questions about pricing yourself right, and she will be teaching a breakout session on February 26th all about pricing, sharing her strategies and techniques that she has taught so many others to raise them out of the pricing slump. Feel like you are in a pricing dead zone? Too scared to raise your prices? Join her and learn to tackle your pricing head on! ✨

All breakout sessions will take place at Prospect House- a beautiful, modern venue in the hill country just a small drive from Austin on February 26th. Seating is limited for these sessions, so be sure to reserve your spot today! (Also, all attendees of The Up Factor on the 25th will receive a $50 credit towards a breakout session of their choice!) ✨

Hi! I’ve noticed so many amazing new faces around here, and so I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Sophie Epton (), and I’m a destination photographer living in Austin, Texas- if you haven’t been you need to come, it’s one of the best cities in the US! 💕

I’ve been photographing weddings all over the world for the last six years, and coaching for the last two. I realized that even though I never thought I’d be a teacher, I have loved every minute of helping people to up-level their own lives and business and seeing goals come to fruition- it’s the best feeling in the world! ✨

And now I am so happy to be launching workshops, with our first workshop taking place this coming February 25th-26th. Trust me, this is not your average workshop. I noticed a gap that I wanted to address for creative entrepreneurs- spending more time teaching workshops about actual business strategy, finances, pricing, targeting your ideal client, and so much more that makes businesses not only successful, but sustainable over the long term. I could not be more excited to launch with such a great group of seven other speakers and collaborators, and Wednesday at 12pm CST I officially announce our lineup! 🙌🏻 Stay tuned because you won’t want to miss a thing! And a huge hug to everyone who has reached out, messaged, emailed since the launch last week- your support means the world! From myself and , we are so happy to have you here!

It’s finally here!! I am so thrilled to finally announce , the launch of a new workshop series for creative entrepreneurs looking for a lot more than just “pretty.” ✨

I was feeling as though there was a gap in the industry, and so I wanted to form a collaborative with many of the top talents in creative and financial fields and create a workshop where people learn how to do more than survive in their business, but truly thrive in their business! ✨

Do you feel like you are ready to learn more of the nuts and bolts of growing a successful six figure (and beyond) business? We are going to be talking about so many topics and really diving in: growing a successful business, how to actually market yourself with techniques that reach your audience, branding that sets yourself apart, booking your ideal client, finances and saving for your retirement, pricing yourself right, finding joy as an entrepreneur, making the most of multiple streams of income and so, so much more! ✨

Our first workshop kicks off in 2019 on February 25th-26th in Austin, Texas! We have an AMAZING lineup of speakers that you won’t want to miss! TODAY, join me on IG LIVE at 12pm CST where I will talk all about our launch, discuss more details about the workshop, announce a big giveaway and answer all you questions! We are so excited for this new adventure, and we can’t wait for you to join us! ✨

Xo, Sophie
