In The Footsteps Of These Successful Videographers
Pat Henderson, founder of Path-8 Productions, signed up for the VBA inspired by Den's relatable podcast as a Freelancer.
Despite initial reluctance to stop editing, Pat saw the importance of shifting to producing for growth.
Specializing notably in healthcare, Pat found the VBA critical for valuable insights, guidance, and connections, which significantly sped up business expansion.
He now has a full time team of 5 and in any given month is servicing between 20 and 40 client projects.
Andrew Fowler attributes Lux Films' growth in London to the Video Business Accelerator (VBA) program.
VBA's marketing strategies, including funnel creation, email lead management, and LinkedIn use, were critical.
The diverse VBA community's shared experiences boosted growth.
Skeptical at first, Andrew's mindset shifted after a 30x ROI in a month, realizing the importance of teamwork for business expansion, making VBA a pivotal element for Lux Films.
Caleb Maxwell of Hebron Films in Bendigo overcame a difficult period post-partnership with fluctuating income and uncertain prospects.
Under Den's guidance, he restructured workflows within nine months, shifting from reliance on referrals to proactive growth strategies.
This pivot tripled his personal take home from $25,000 to $85,000, securing financial stability and a sense of accomplishment. Caleb's experience underscores the value of business coaching and is now a Video Mentor
Alana Tompson from Said & Done Media experienced a transformative year with VBA coaching.
While initially doubtful she ultimately achieving a 65% sales increase, enhanced joy, and improved work quality.
Shifting from a solo freelancer mindset to an entrepreneurial spirit, she now aspires to develop a creative agency and regrets not joining the program earlier.
She is now a Video Mentor committed to supporting women and LGBTIQA+ groups to work in video production, specifically in the camera department.
Initially skeptical about working with a business coach, Nik Strugar from Ravens at Odds discovered that the process was more akin to therapy, addressing deep-seated emotional and personal issues that were hindering business success.
Nik highlights significant gains, including more than doubling his production fees, recognizing his true worth, and the invaluable support from a community facing similar challenges.
This transformative experience has not only improved their business but also provided a sense of camaraderie and emotional support.
Jay Moyes switched from plumbing to a successful video venture with early challenges.
The VBA's supportive environment of weekly discussions and hands-on training led to his growth, influenced greatly by his mentor, Den.
Now, he collaborates on passion projects with clients like Adelaide 500 and 4WD brands.
His transformation, fueled by mentorship, community, and self-belief, is a testament to embracing change and the value of one's craft, as promoted by the VBA.
Before joining VBA UpLevel, I was stuck in a rut, often overworking and undercharging—I even cut a deal from $7,000 to $5,000 out of desperation.
Tough beginnings led to growth as I engaged in weekly calls and learned the ropes from Den, particularly about cash flow and client acquisition.
This knowledge, coupled with community support, enabled me to triple my rates and tackle bigger projects.
The result? A dramatically better life, complete with a dream home. Within half a year. For those unsure about the VBA, take it from me and many others: it’s a game-changer that pays off quickly and teaches you to multiply your fees.
As a freelancer, I floundered without direction until I joined UpLevel, which is geared toward video business owners making the leap from freelance work to business ownership.
The program, though a substantial investment, provided the stepping stones I needed to transform my operations and build a business capable of growing and eventually selling.
I learned the vital role of sales—something I underestimated since I believed my work quality was enough.
I've implemented systems that have empowered me to delegate more tasks, like editing and filming, and given me the freedom to focus on strategic growth.
