WANT TO START WORKING TOWARD YOUR IMAGE CONSULTING CAREER BUT NOT READY TO INVEST IN A CERTIFICATION?

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN IN THIS VALUE-PACKED 7-DAY ONLINE COURSE

We know exactly where you’re at right now because we’ve both been there. You’re at the ground level of an aspiring image consulting career and while you’ve done some research online and maybe even read a few books, you’re looking for an affordable resource that can give you the honest and transparent insight, action steps and tools that you need to get started right now.

While taking an image consultant out to coffee to pick their brain sounds like a great way to gather helpful info about where to start, the reality of this happening is pretty slim. So, we created a solution: a very detailed, 7-day course that combines our knowledge and insight that we faced our first year in business with our best practices for getting your image consulting business off the ground for next to nothing.


In this Quick Start Image Consulting course, you’re going to get our exact roadmap for getting started, acquiring your first few clients, and marketing yourself as professional. Don’t worry about not having the credibility or experience, we’re going to show you how to enter the field despite this challenge. We’re also going to tell you the things we did wrong so that you never have to incur the wasted money and time that we did.


THIS QUICK START COURSE IS IDEAL FOR YOU, IF...

  • You’re looking for a low-cost alternative to a certification that allows you to get your feet wet in the industry.
