OUR FOUNDING COHORT IS OPEN TO JOIN - SPACES ARE LIMITED

Does this sound familiar?

  • You are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start finding clients or building your business.

  • You keep getting ghosted when you reach out to potential clients.

  • You have questions about how to develop your offer but don’t know who to ask.

  • You’re ready to increasing your prices and charging your worth.

The roadmap to achieving your career goals in 3 months

What if you could fast-track years of mistakes & charging less than your worth?

This group mentoring programme has been designed to give you a step-by-step guide to a sustainable creative career. You’ll learn how to build your personal brand to attract new opportunities, how to position your offer so you have customers and clients queuing up to buy from you and how to feel less stressed whilst working towards your goals.

Alaya - 1-2-1 MENTORING CLIENT

Emma has been a great soundboard and very helpful in sharing the different funding opportunities available.

Had I not been made aware of The Conduit Young Innovator Award, I would not have won £18,000 and free office space in London Covenant Gardens. The co-working membership also gives me access to social changemakers events which will help me to build a network of inspiring leaders in social impact.

HRITHIK - 1-2-1 MENTORING CLIENT

Emma has helped me strategise my brand and allowed me to construct a clear-cut plan for my next development steps.

She has also helped me further develop my negotiation skills which can be daunting when dealing with this on your own in business.

Hear from the mentees we’ve supported.

OLIVIA - 1-2-1 MENTORING CLIENT

Emma went above and beyond for me, for example, she created a notion board with tables, graphics and stats that would help me develop my small businesses.

She also let me know of any ideas she had thought of for marketing, for example, a type of TikTok video that would do well, which was super useful and a great second perspective.

She even looked through my application for a grant, despite it being almost 10 pages long!

Take a look at what’s included in the roadmap

This is group mentoring done differently.

Over the last 2 years, we have worked with hundreds of creatives and they have all told us the same thing - they want community.

This programme is designed to bring together ambitious founders and freelancers so you can learn from each other and feel supported on your journey. This will be an exclusive community, only for those who join the Roadmap, so you can have accountability and motivation every step of the way.

Sound like the right fit for you? You can now join our next cohort - starting 6th January!

Why we created the roadmap

Why we created the roadmap

Hey, I’m Emma Redfern, Founder of Studio Self-Made

I started my first business at Uni 5 years ago & haven’t looked back since

5 years ago, I turned down an unpaid fashion internship to go all-in on building a business from scratch.

This one decision completely changed my life.

After building two award-winning businesses and working with freelance clients for the last 5 years, I want to help early-career creatives craft fulfilling careers without sacrificing their mental health.

I’ve worked with 20+ 1-2-1 clients over the last 12 months who have secured £20,000+ in funding, launched new products and got 4-figure client projects.

Now I want to help you do the same :)
