WHAT FOLKS HAVE TO SAY
“I have a clear sense of the direction I want my business to head in…”
“…before I felt like I was grabbing work for a paycheck –whether or not it was something I enjoyed doing– but now I am focused on where I want my business to actually go and how I want it to look. I am already using this knowledge when pitching and talking to potential clients.”

" I was able to leave a draining, toxic, soul-sucking job..."
"Because of this coaching work, I was able to leave a draining, toxic, soul-sucking job that I thought I needed to pay the bills, and go back to full-time entrepreneurship. I’ve literally made twice as much in new clients than the amount I invested into this Boot Camp. I would've never guessed that would happen, but WOW what a difference it made!"

"I feel a tremendous amount of momentum..."
"Boot Camp gave me both the accountability and the resources to work through aspects of starting a business that had me stalled. I feel a tremendous amount of momentum after the past few weeks that I hope I can hold on to moving forward! And I feel like I've made some wonderful connections with the other folks in this group that hope to continue."

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
I HAVE ANSWERS. AND SNACKS.
Who is this program for?
The Basecamp Freelance Boot Camp is for folks excited about and committed to building their business while co-creating a new network of support and momentum in the outdoors industry. If you're ready to ask yourself some hard questions and get serious about building a business that supports the life you're craving, you're in the right place! And if this program doesn't feel like a "hell yes!" to you, it may not be a good fit and that's okay! Contact me so we can find you a better fit, whether that's a different option I offer or another coach to recommend instead.
What can I expect?
In this program, you can expect to put in WORK so that you walk away with a crystal-clear vision for your business, the tools and templates to overcome any future challenges, and the structures and systems to ensure your business is sustainable. You'll dive deep into who you are and what's important to you and make conscious choices to create a business that honors your wholeness, creativity, and adventurous spirit. This program is all about community co-creation. For our work to be powerful, it must be based on active participation rooted in vulnerability, energy, and commitment. Participants are required to attend 10 of the 12 sessions and are expected to complete the assigned prep work before each session. This isn't about me telling you what to do in your business; instead, it's an invitation to examine what's working and what's not so that we can build on your experience, the wisdom of the collective, and intentional action to create YOUR business, not someone else's. And if this program doesn't feel like a "hell yes!" to you, it may not be a good fit and that's okay! Contact me so we can find you a better fit, whether that's a different option I offer or another coach to recommend instead.
Why do I have to apply?
This is a VERY intentional community program and may not be the right match for everyone. We want to ensure that participants are in a similar phase of their business building journey and are able to honor the values and commitments required of participants. If this isn't a right match for you, we'll actively discuss why and find alternatives together in our email discussions.
Are there discounts available?
YES! We're excited to be able to offer 3 sliding scale spots for members of historically underrepresented communities. If you'd like assistance in order to participate, please highlight this in the application so that we can allocate you a sliding scale spot! And if this program doesn't feel like a "hell yes!" to you, it may not be a good fit and that's okay! Contact me so we can find you a better fit, whether that's a different option I offer or another coach to recommend instead.
Do you offer refunds?
There are no refunds or exchanges offered with this program. If for any reason, you're unsatisfied with your experience in The Basecamp Freelancer Boot Camp, we ask that you make it known to Justine privately so that we can come together and improve your experience. By committing to this coaching container, you are agreeing to the belief that the power of the coaching relationship can be granted only by the client and the partnership we create.
Will the sessions be recorded?
Coaching, especially in a group setting, is most successful when it's grounded in trust and transparency. To respect everyone's privacy, sessions will only be recorded if all participants choose to do so. To ensure no content is missed when someone is absent, sessions will be transcribed anonymously and shared as a resource to Boot Camp members. And if this program doesn't feel like a "hell yes!" to you, it may not be a good fit and that's okay! Contact me so we can find you a better fit, whether that's a different option I offer or another coach to recommend instead.
Why so much talk about vulnerability?
Starting or running a business, especially one based around creativity, REQUIRES vulnerability. Don't believe me? Check out Brené Brown's research. But seriously, starting or growing a business involves constant self-reflection, experimentation, and risk taking- all things that are rooted in the willingness to be uncomfortable and deal with the unknown. Nothing makes you confront your inner critics, fear of rejection or desire to play small like making something and asking someone to pay you for it. So do yourself a favor, and let's get vulnerable! Also, coaching, or rather, GOOD coaching, isn't just about helping people reach their goals or getting them to make a few changes in behavior, it's about helping someone transform into the person they've always wanted to be. And vulnerability is ground zero for true transformation. Finally, this entire program is based in community, both in the program community but also in the outdoor industry at large. Freelancing is notorious for keeping hard fought information close and we're all about blowing that wide open, sharing information so that freelancers in this industry as a whole can benefit. And if this program doesn't feel like a "hell yes!" to you, it may not be a good fit and that's okay! Contact me so we can find you a better fit, whether that's a different option I offer or another coach to recommend instead.
