OTB
mastermind

want to work with me for 7 months?

now you can!

Over the past few months, as I set up the OTB workshops, many photographers asked me to do something online because they were unable to attend in person.  I was asked for manuals, videos, webinars... and technology really does allow us to share some amazing information nowadays, but I really didn't like the idea.

connection and effectiveness

If you know me just a little bit, you know that I value connection above almost everything else, and  I love working personally with photographers. So I had to come up with something different, and I wanted something extremely effective (if you know me a little more, you know that is the second most important thing :-)

being bold and daring greatly

Businesses don't grow by themselves. It takes time and dedication, that awesome combination of blood sweat and tears that we're all familiar with. But it doesn't have to be so hard, and you don't have to re-invent the wheel all by yourself.
Businesses grow when you invest in them, when you invest in yourself, and you take that famous daring bold and brave step that brings you into the next level. This group is the bold step. It will open up possibilities you have never imagined before, so many ha-ha moments and so many opportunities will just come to you. If you look at the testimonials from the OTB workshops and think those were accomplished after just two days... how much more will you do if we work together for 7 months?

What it is

a closed group of just 10 photographers

Working together in-depth through all the modules of OTB over a period of 7 months.
Every month we tackle a new module, we get to work, and then come back to share results, issues, discoveries, ideas, developments...  working in a group is by far the best way to really get into every aspect of every module, as each one comes up with unique ideas or challenges that will make the learning experience so much richer. 

How it works

group video calls

Every month we'll have a group video call, which will be recorded and accessible to everyone for the duration of the course. Every session will tackle one module, and every participant will be taking part, bringing their own work and challenges to the discussion, including a hot-seat time to review their previous month's work. Each session is a full-immersion exercise in that month's topic and will last up to 3 hours (we'll take the time we need).

1:1 calls

During the first month, each participant will also get a 1:1 call with me, so that I can get to know them better and help with their specific needs and challenges. ​ It will also help me to customize the program more specifically to the group.

closed facebook group - full support

We will also have a closed facebook group where I will be available for support, answer questions as they arise and post additional trainings during the month when needed. And of course you'll have access to me via messenger if you have a private question. ​

Additional custom trainings

During the month, I'll be providing additional trainings posted in the fb group. Audio recordings you can download, fb live videos, or whatever works best. Issues, problems and questions will become the basis for custom trainings (see what we're doing there? turning weaknesses into strengths ;) 

is it for you?

only if you want to change
and are committed to succeed
​in your business

You know that I work with professional photographers who have been in business for decades, as well as new photographers who are just starting their business. Wherever you're at, the focus of OTB is always on getting you to the next level, and then the next.
Working closely in a group makes you accountable, gives you precise direction, and allows you to dig deep in every aspect of your business.
It also gives you the chance to ask any question you may have and seek help for every problem.
If you're committed to make big changes and steer your work in a different direction, the group is definitely for you. 

WHEN DO ​WE START?

may 2018

Sessions will (probably) take place every first Tuesday in the month. 
​The time will be decided through a poll in the group, to start between 10am and 3pm
The finalized calendar will be published shortly.
You can book your 1:1 call during the first month.

and if you're one of the first three...

you'll get a personal portfolio assessment
​worth €250

For many years, when I was working in Milan for some major magazines, I was in charge of shooting and picking the strongest images for beauty and fashion editorials. I worked with international photographers and one of my jobs was to choose the images that would stand out and make those pages rock. I also often reshuffled models' and photographers' portfolios, and this experience served me well when I started my own photography business. Now a website and portfolio assessment is part of every 1:1 program with my clients. 

I only have space for three though...  you know what to do

STILL ON the fence?

If you're still unsure, contact me on messenger or email and we'll figure out if this is right for you. 
If budget is the issue, there are smaller payment options, and we'll find the right one for you.
There's always a way.

FAQ

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASTERMIND AND OTB WORKSHOP?

In an OTB Workshop you sit through sessions for two days, take a ton of notes, ask a lot of questions, get a lot of insight and ideas, and walk out dead tired but energized and ready to turn your business around. The enthusiasm does not wear out, as it often happens after a workshop, but you are going home to work on your own. In the Mastermind you are doing the same work but you're not alone, you can keep asking questions relevant to your situation, dig deep to find solutions, have a direct confrontation with others in the group, get feedback, advice, inspiration and a track laid out before you to help you on the journey. I'm holding your hand at every step and you have direct access to me. We work through blocks, bits that get stuck, and anything you're not sure about. And don't underestimate the value of working in a group, the sinergy will be priceless. 

How hard will it be to keep up with the program? Some of these months will be busy months, I'm afraid I might fall behind. 

The reason we'll tackle one module a month is precisely to allow you to work through each one with enough time to actually get the work done. Of course, there's no magic wand... you do have to put in a few hours, but part of OTB is also about having a better workflow and schedule time more effectively! If you're committed to dedicate just a few hours a week to your business, you will not fall behind. Also, there will be some sessions where you'll be ahead of the game, and might just need to make a few changes or tweaks, and others where you'll have to do more, so each month you will be able to compensate. 

I already attended an OTB workshop, is this for me?

You've already heard all the lessons, but of course we go much deeper in the Mastermind because we have that time. Not only are the trainings more extensive, but the support and additional trainings in the group will provide all the babysteps you need to actually do the work more easily and effectively. 

I want to attend an otb workshop next winter, should I do both?

Taking a few days to do a full-immersion OTB in person, interact with other photographers and spend time together (not to mention the food!) is of course a completely different thing, and well worth it. If you're a member of the Mastermind and sign up for a live OTB workshop, you'll receive an extra 1:1 call (worth $300) or a 30% discount on the registration fee. And of course a double dose of hugs when I get to see you :-)

I really really want to do this, but don't have the budget right now... can I pay in smaller instalments?

Absolutely. Never, ever let money stop you from growing. I can almost guarantee that the moment you take a brave step to invest in yourself, unexpected work and money will come to cover it. However, to make things easier, I have different payment options to spread the cost and make it easier to manage. Just mention it in the notes when you register, or contact me directly. 

I want to book my place! How do the payments  work?

When you fill in your registration form, you will get a message with the paypal account to send in your booking fee of $100. In the next few days, I'll be in touch to book your first 1:1 call and then everything starts from there! Your first instalment will be due before your call or by 1 September, whichever comes first. All subsequent payments will be due on the 1st of each month. 

any other questions? I'm on messenger and in the OTB group :-)
