Tobi’s Top Time Management Tips for Maximizing Your Productivity
I was so blessed to have found […] this group of women.
Life changing for me.
I came into work on Monday, and quit my professional marketing job. Kind of scary, but I’m giving myself one year to get my business off the ground and be earning profit. Like Tobi said, what’s the worst that can happen? I can always go back to marketing if it doesn’t pan out. But I know it will. If you believe it—you can achieve it.

Attending the camp was like watching a movie based on a book you had read. You knew the basic premise, however details and characters were modified to enhance the experience.
From the moment I walked in the room, I had the strangest feeling- I felt like I had seen these women before. I even felt as though I had actually met some them before…REALLY…met them before…so strange and wonderful at the same time.
In a world, often eclipsed by negativity and jealousy among women – mostly due to personal insecurities…Tobi managed to let us all show our vulnerable sides and elevate each other by shared the experience.
Thank you!
–Linda

Thank you MBA camp!

My biggest takeaways were:
that I can say no to clients that aren’t my “ideal client”. That I now have a system to find my ideal client and to realize that I need to be comfortable charging what I am worth. I need to think about my area of expertise and promote that area of my business. There are areas that I need to remove from the services that I offer
planning the numbers to reach my financial goals; great ideas for services that can increase $ while waiting for larger projects, defining my niche; fees and charging and being up front with screening initial inquiries; actually doing a formal presentation to show what the client actually receives
My favorite part was:
how approachable and honest, helpful and generous Tobi and her staff were
The Designer MBA Course was:
life-changing and eye-opening, especially for a small business owner
amazing, life-changing, scary, fun, exhausting, challenging, inspiring
Something I achieved in this course that I couldn’t learn anywhere else was:
looking into myself and business so deeply and in such a short time – so reflective. What other designers are really billing/making/struggling with. I love these women!

Hello, friends!
I’ve been over on my blog every day this month talking about all the things for which I’m MOST grateful. One of my greatest blessings in life is sharing with other professionals in the business of design my experiences and hard-won wisdom about building a thriving firm. I inspire confidence in these designers by empowering them to fulfill their highest potential, and they inspire me by thinking BIG and sharing their hopes and triumphs.
That’s why I’m excited to announce that our first Camp Tobi Fairley event for the new year is:
*Please note: this is a change from the originally-announced dates!
