How will we help you take over the world?
Everyone has a unique story to tell. Your passions, values, interests and background are the keys to this story and this story is the most powerful tool you have in making your business shine.
We will help you draw that story out, define the right people to share it with and build a community of peers and loyal customers to support your creative business.
As small creative business owners ourselves, we understand the thought of building and developing your business can be daunting. We strive to provide information that allows you to build a strategy you can apply immediately will drive you toward success.
In working with Lightbox SF you will never be alone in this business endeavor!
A little over a year ago, I was a hobby photographer. Today, with their help, I've had multiple local and national shows and am embarking on a creative project I could have only dreamed about 6 months ago. I can't recommend them enough. - Carrie Brienholt, whatwetreasure.com
Who Can Benefit
We work best with beginning to mid-stage creative entrepreneurs who are motivated and driven to succeed, but just don’t know where to start or focus their energies. We will guide you with advice, information and specific tasks, but you must be willing to do the work to truly benefit from our coaching.
I began my business about a year and a half ago while pregnant with my daughter and had been flying by the seat of my pants. I knew I loved designing and crafting, but my vision lacked focus. In just a few one-on-one meetings, Genevieve was able to help me really think about my business, define a vision, and implement a clear and direct plan to meet my goals. The suggestions and ideas were reality based and completely tailored to my individual needs. Since working with Lightbox SF, my business has grown and I'm no longer flying by the seat of my pants! – Lisa Anderson Shaffer, Zelma Rose Dry Goods
If you are at the idea phase, still refining what your business will be and how to launch, we can help you build a strong brand identity and online presence that will allow you to enter the market with force.
If you’ve been in business for a short time and are feeling overwhelmed by where to put your time and energy or how best to market this business you’ve created, we can help plan a strategy that works with your lifestyle and personality to fully express your best self.
If you’ve been running your business for a year or two and just aren’t seeing the progress you’d like, we can assess the areas that need the most attention and get you on track to a sustainable, fulfilling business.
How To Work With Us
We realize everyone has different styles of working and different budgets to work with so we’ve put together a few different results driven options. You can invest as little as 1-2 hours and $150 a month and still see results.
If you're in the San Francisco area we'd love to meet with you in person, however we also work quite well via phone or Skype.
Thanks to our work together, I now have a regular blog, have recruited some great new artists, and feel like more people know about my services helping artists develop their work. - Lori Shantzis, a.Muse Gallery
On-Demand Consulting
This for those of you that just need some answers, no hand holding, no outside motivation, just information to put to use. We'll give you a full 90 minutes of our time to ask questions, get feedback and just generally pick our brain. Afterwards we'll send you an email that summarizes our discussion and lists all the valuable information you'll need to carry on your merry way.
Coaching
If you realize that you need a bit more hand holding and aren’t afraid of a little commitment, then our on going coaching sessions will fit the bill. You’ll have regular one-hour in-person sessions where we’ll dive deep into a topic. You’ll leave each session with personalized homework, resources, and a new perspective.
Like any permanent change it takes time to see results and really shape new paths, so coaching requires a commitment of at least 3 months.
I went from having 3 clients a month to 3 clients a week with Lightbox SF's help. I would not be where I am today without their guidance. - Sarah Deragon, Portraits to the People
Marketing Assessment Package
We understand that you might not be ready to make the full commitment to coaching, but still need some help to get you to your goals. That’s why we created this short and sweet option.
You’ll get an initial 30 minute phone consult to assess what area you need to focus on first, then you’ll have 3 in-person meetings with plenty of homework in between to get you to an agreed upon end goal. This quick, painless option helps you reach a milestone that will energize you and keep your motivation flowing.
Creating Space
We also know that sometimes the struggle isn’t knowing what to do it’s knowing how to get it all done and not get distracted. That's where our Creating Space service comes in. Creating Space is weekly phone meetings designed to keep you accountable and help you learn how to create physical and mental space in your life for friends, family, work and creativity. Read more.
