Description

You want FREEDOM. You have SKILLS. You want to be your own BOSS.

Business Bootcamp is your place to start, grow and scale a business of your own.

Are you tired of your day job?

Do you hate having a boss breath down your neck?

Do you want to make more money and charge what you're truly worth?

Do you want more freedom to take time off, go on longer vacations, and enjoy life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're in the right place.

What makes me qualified to teach you?

My name is Phil. I started my own business in 2012. In 2013 it was a 6-figure business, and revenue has doubled each year since. Plus, I strive to make the best online courses and now have over 150,000 students and thousands of 5-star reviews like this:

Great information is presented and in a positive way. This course doesnt feel monotonous like some other courses i have taken. I love the upbeat conversational style presentations. - Anna Baillard

Great information and content. I highly recommend this course for anyone trying to start a business online. - Azeez Salu

Phil jumps right into the content, and I am really enjoying the course so far. Great for freelancers and looking forward to more of the business-related content. High quality video and audio. I've enjoyed many of Phil's classes, and this is another great one. - Vakesh Bijouri

My Promise to You

I'll be here for you every step of the way. If you have any questions about the course content or anything related to this topic, you can always post a question in the course or send me a direct message. 

I want to make this the best course on how to launch your own successful business. So if there is any way I can improve this course, just tell me and I'll make it happen.

I've been where you are right now. I know how hard it is to wake up each morning to go to a job you hate. I know how it is to be drowning in debt, working a job that doesn't pay me what I'm worth. I know how it is to start a freelance business without a following or website.

But...

After many years of research, experimenting, failures, and success, I am now running my own 6-figure per year business doing what I love each and every day. And I want to show you exactly how I do it.

This course walks you through the entire process of creating your own business from scratch. We start by defining your craft and choosing a skill of yours that will be the best for your business. We'll follow it up with market research to find your target audience and competition. We'll then build a website (learning from scratch) and capture leads with a foolproof sales funnel system. We'll learn how to find your first clients (and your next ones). Then we'll take it to the next level and learn how to properly run a business and grow it to 6-figures per year.

Guides, samples, and templates included! This course includes downloadable resources that will help you with contracts, proposals invoicing and more.

Skills You'll Have After Taking This Course:

  • Setting better goals
  • Start freelancing by moonlighting
  • Market research
  • Define your value proposition
  • Build a website
  • Capture leads
  • Build a portfolio with raving testimonials
  • Turn customers into fans with social media
  • Find targeted customers
  • Close the deal to get more business
  • Grow your business to 6-figures
  • Track expenses, understand business taxes, and manage clients
  • Manage your time better
  • So much more!

After 7 weeks, will you be making $100,000 per year? Probably not.

After 7 weeks, will you know how to make $100,000 per year? Yes.

After 7 weeks, will you be on the path to making $100,000 per year? Yes, if you put in the work.

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ACTION?

With our 30-day 100% money back guarantee, there is nothing holding you back from jumping in right now and trying the course out.

Go ahead and click the enroll button, and I'll see you in lesson 1!

Cheers,

Phil

more about phil

My professional background is in video production and editing. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University's School of Film and Television in 2011. Since then, I've worked on thousands of projects that have appeared in movie theaters, film festivals, television and online.

Today, I create all kinds of things from photographs that can be seen on my Instagram to homemade sourdough bread that feeds my family. Who knows where life will take me. But I know wherever I am, I'll be creating.

Since 2012, I've been creating online courses that over two million students from around the world have taken. Course topics include everything from photography and video to design and business courses. If I can't teach it , I collaborate with other experts who share their skills with absolute beginners.

Video School is my website where you can take my online courses. You can also find them on top course platforms like Udemy.

Photography & Friends is a website and community I created to help new photographers become confident with their cameras.

I can't wait to see you in class!

- Phil
