Words From Members
"Since the beginning, my constant manifestation goal has been to make $10k a month. I've gotten close some months, but this month things are aligning. I'm booked so heavily with 3 back to back campaigns for huge brands with dream models. I will walk away with $10.5k. It all fell in my lap in a neat little bow today. Still cannot thank you enough for your guidance and inspiration."
"What this has done for me is life changing. You've created something that is far beyond a photography course. The details and personality intertwine to make something uniquely special. I signed up with the idea of learning some tips and useful advice. I've found not only an abundance of knowledge, but a new outlook on life. It feels like I've spent the past months visiting a beautiful island and falling in love. I've left inspired and motivated to do what it takes to travel back to that island and make it my new home."
"Like if I haven't said it enough times, the transformative power of your course and it's ability to reconnect you with the truest parts of yourself and make something both meaningful and financially valuable out them is insane. And that's all you."
