THE BIG IDEAS


Confidence is Key to Connection: Cultivating genuine
confidence helps you guide clients and makes sessions smoother
and more enjoyable for everyone.

Growth is Gradual and Intentional: Each phase—from learning
manual settings to booking paid sessions—builds on consistent,
focused practice and self-reflection.

Professionalism Builds Trust: Presenting your work and
pricing clearly, especially through a website or organized
platform, fosters credibility and reduces awkward negotiations.

Success Has Many Definitions: Your unique version of success
may center on creativity, time freedom, or income—define it for
yourself and progress accordingly.
