Marielle shares her experience inside DBA, why she says it was unlike any course she has ever taken, and the shifts that changed not only the way she approached her business, but her life.She opens up about where she was before DBA, what changed for her throughout the program, and what happened after graduation... including booking a $7,500 client who paid in full less than a month later. We talk about the strategy, support, confidence, and mindset shifts that helped her begin showing up differently in her business, charging at a higher level, and seeing bigger opportunities as something that could actually be possible for her.If $7,500 projects or $10K months still feel like something other designers get to have (but not you), this episode will give you a powerful look at what can change when your strategy and your belief in what’s possible begin to catch up with each other.Join Social Butterfly Club (Marketing Membership For Designers)Apply For Design Biz AcademyFollow Marielle & Michelle#graphicdesignpodcast #designbusiness #brandingpodcast #fordesigners #designtips #freelancedesign
