IASECP | The Community with the Career-Building Difference!
Hey Solo Pro,
Are you a writer, editor, graphic designer, or other pro in the communications or creative services field? If you are, you’ve invested in your skills, but now you’re on your own – and running a business can be hard. Are you feeling isolated and overwhelmed?
Wouldn’t it be great to have a community for support, resources, and collaboration?
If you’re serious about building a business with real income-producing potential and you’ve got a collaborative nature, you’re an ideal candidate for IASECP membership.
Barbara Saunders, Director of IASECP & Solo Pro Academy
I’m Barbara Saunders. I’ve run my own solo pro business for more than a decade. At first, I struggled to make it work with the old-school traditional service-based business model, That just doesn’t work anymore. With this group and some training on forward-thinking business models, I was able to transform that business into a streamlined income generator that’s actually fun to run. In fact, I don’t even market that business anymore – it just keeps paying the bills – so I can focus on my true passion – sharing what I’ve learned with my community.
I know how isolated you can feel running your own business. And I know the frustration trying to keep enough client projects flowing in to pay the bills. I also know how incredible it can be to have a vibrant group of other motivated creative solo pros to share the journey. My personal mission is to share that with others struggling down the road behind me.
Two things helped me build my business successfully
- A community of experts in related fields to collaborate on projects with
- Education in how to run a business in the 21st Century
That’s what IASECP and the Solo Pro Academy is all about.
IASECP is the ONLY professional organization that brings together solo pros across the communication and creative services fields and helps them build successful PROFITABLE solo-based businesses
