Building something new?

AND this week’s hot jobs + an invite to our money series.

I recently sat down with a Growth Accelerator client who's launching sponsorships for their media business for the very first time. 

They're a creator with a solid following and newsletter list, but they didn't want to alienate their audience to make money — they wanted to be thoughtful.

We started with the most important question: Who is their audience, and which brands would actually add value to their lives? 

Because an ideal brand deal is good for the partner and good for your community. That's when deals work. That’s when you generate repeat business. That’s how you grow and build lasting trust (and revenue).

From there, we mapped out how to bundle asset options, leverage pricing psychology in their sponsorship packages, and articulate real value + set expectations around outcomes in their outreach.

Strategy sessions like these, where two people are revving and strategizing together, can completely change your business trajectory.

The work we did together set him up for a successful launch, better conversations, and the confidence to drive it all forward. 

And he’s already chatting with multiple sponsors, potential money in his pocket within the month! 

Are you building something new? Trying to monetize a new part of your business? 

I can help you take your vision from thoughts and dreams to reality and income.

And now, this week’s hot jobs and an invite to follow along with our Money Series with Inverse Wealth

We just kicked off a money series with my pal Sumeet Ganju from Inverse Wealth, and it's already generating great conversations.

Each week, we're answering one community question on social to help self-employed folks better understand and grow their wealth. If you missed the first two bite-sized quick sessions (all under 3 minutes!), catch up here:

Week 1: Tax Planning -- Why waiting until April to think about your taxes means you're already too late, and the proactive moves that actually keep more money in your pocket. Watch on Instagram or LinkedIn.

Week 2: Cash Management -- The two expensive mistakes most solopreneurs make with their cash, and how to find the sweet spot between too much safety and too much risk. Watch on Instagram or LinkedIn.

Have a question you want answered in an upcoming session? Send it over.

And if you want to go deeper, just reply to this email.

If you have money questions around investment strategies, tax planning, how to plan for your future as a solopreneur, or what to do with your cash on hand. I'll connect you directly with Sumeet. No strings attached.

Focused on growing your business revenue and income? I can intro you to the right Harlow programs and support to help.
