“I HAD A $10K MONTH”

“Previously, I made around $3-4k per month, and through the program I increased my monthly income by an additional $2-3k monthly. I even ALMOST had a $10k month! The client paid two days later, so it wasn’t technically in one month, but it was still an amazing feeling.”

“I DOUBLED MY PRICES & AM GETTING MORE LEADS”

“Since taking the Aventive Academy courses I have DOUBLED my prices and gained so much more confidence in myself and my business. I've just recently launched my rebranded business, but I'm already getting more leads than ever before because I am showing up, running my marketing the right way and communicating my value to potential clients.”

“LIFE CHANGING FOR ME AND MY FAMILY”

“I have spent over 10k in coaching since beginning my business last year, desperately searching for a program like Kady's. I have started to employ all of the techniques that she teaches, and I am already seeing a huge change. It's literally life changing for me and my family.

Kristan McArthur

“MY ENTIRE BUSINESS MINDSET HAS CHANGED”

“Before attending Aventive Academy, I lacked the business skills to help me connect with clients. The courses have been an eye-opener for me, and my entire business mindset has changed for the better! I am learning exciting and profitable business skills every day through the AA courses.

“I WAS ABLE TO APPLY EVERYTHING I LEARNED”

“I was able to apply everything I learned in the course. Literally everything. There is nothing that I didn’t really need. The lessons are the perfect length: you can do them on your own pace, they aren’t long, and it’s easy to stay focused.”

Dynia Grille

“SAVE YOURSELF TIME!”

“Save yourself the time of reading 50 different business books! Just pay attention to this course and you will learn more. Aventive Academy talks about design as a business: specialized, concrete and very comprehensive.”

“I HAVE BUILT A SMALL BUSINESS”

“I have built a small business that is my own and that allows me to provide a service I am passionate about. Aventive Academy’s program has given me an immense amount of confidence. Before I started I had never worked with contracts, I felt nervous to charge hardly anything, I felt overwhelmed by how to start, and I had no clear goals.

Now I have contracts, a business task organizer, financial systems in place, invoices created, an ideal client, organized branding, and clear-cut weekly and monthly goals. I finally feel confident in myself as a service provider!”

KRISTAN MCARTHUR

“IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED”

“Before discovering Aventive Academy, I felt like I hit a brick wall and was at a dead-end in my design career. It was like Kady read my mind and offered exactly what I needed to achieve future success for my graphic design business.”
