Who is it for?

SOLOPRENEURS, freelancers, small business owners, side-hustlers, sole practitioners⏤you’re certainly welcome to attend if that isn’t you, but that is who this is built around. You ARE the business.

We don’t want to tell you to grow bigger. We don’t care if you “scale.” We care that you succeed.

What will be different from the start of the day to the end of the day in my life?

It takes you on a journey from feeling alone, to feeling seen, to feeling ready to shine, to knowing how to actually turn that into money.

You’ll be lit up with confidence and excitement, but also sparking with new ideas.

[Metaphor about how lightning, like inspiration, is a bit chaotic and nebulous⏤this event captures that power and channels it into something you can plug into and use to power your business in a deliberate and productive way.

Another metaphor: at the beginning, it’s about recognizing that you are the fucking sun (me, Dani). Then, it’s about corralling that power in a way that can be sorted (Sophie, Sapna). Then, it’s about plugging in and leveraging that power to light up the night (Hannah, Janine, Teresa).

You will end up feeling confident, excited, and supported. You will feel ready to shine, you will feel like you’ve got the steps to actually take that concept from fluff to concrete reality, and you will have met people and gotten ideas that will all help you turn that spark into a flame.

We will inspire you, but we will also show you how to get this shit done. The expert speakers will give you expertise you can actually use. The attendees will give you mutual support, advice⏤and maybe even introduce you to professionals who will help you get where you want to be.

Why is it called “Higher Voltage”?

I want this day to energize your business, to spark ideas, to make you feel plugged in to something energizing flowing through you and lighting you up inside.

We’re surrounded by bigger businesses with loads of support⏤but we’ve only got ourselves. No, actually⏤we’ve got each other. PLUG IN. Let’s energize together.

You know those weird plasma ball things? This is one of those weird plasma ball things. You’re one of the sparks that happens when you put your finger on the dome.

Why is it worth putting on another fucking event⏤why should I part with my cash?

A community of people who are in the same boat as you: in business for themselves.

An incredible opportunity for a smaller business that maybe has to watch their pounds to learn from some of the best in the biz, in a way that is specifically applicable to YOUR type of business. This isn’t broad or for the big guns⏤this is for YOU.

A curated build of sessions built around the needs of a one-person (or few-people) business. The order isn’t random, the speakers aren’t random⏤this is something that will build YOU up, created with YOU in mind. The closest you’ll get to a 1-1 in a full conference format.

Meet and mingle with potential clients, service providers, and collaborators. (Mention how they’ll get to mingle)

And FUN! (Mention fun things)

Are people like me going? Testimonials from earlybirds???
