Business Strategy

DEEP DIVE

One high-impact 60-minute session

+ questionnaire

+ action plan

+ 1 month support via WhatsApp

Nola Club’s Business Strategy Deep Dive is a focused session to untangle your business, sharpen your direction, and move forward with confidence.

The Business Strategy Deep Dive is a 1:1 mentoring session designed for experienced creative professionals who are doing well - but feel stuck in how their practice translates into bigger impact, clarity, and business direction.

This isn’t about learning generic business techniques. It’s a focused moment to step back, see your creative practice with fresh eyes, and walk away with a tailored action plan that aligns your vision with clearer decisions and outcomes.

No long-term commitment. No coaching jargon. Just one deep, well-prepared session.

What this session is for

This Deep Dive is for you if you’re:

  • a freelance creative, visual artist, designer, or creative director

  • running your own business (or transitioning into one)

  • feeling stuck between too many options or no clear next step

  • tired of business advice that doesn’t translate to creative reality

Typical questions clients bring into the session:

  • What should I actually focus on right now?

  • How do I position myself without boxing myself in?

  • Why does my business feel busy but not strategic?

  • What’s the smartest next move for my specific situation?

How the Deep Dive works

01 Tailored questionnaire (before the session)

Before we meet, you’ll receive a structured questionnaire designed to make you reflect on your work, goals, challenges, and blind spots.

This step ensures we skip surface-level conversation and go straight to what actually matters. Many creatives say that completing the questionnaire alone already brings surprising clarity.

(Expect to spend focused time reflecting - this is part of the value.)

02 Deep Dive session: 60 minutes focused 1:1 mentoring

In our one-on-one session, we work through your situation with focus and honesty.

Together, we:

  • Clarify what’s unclear, misaligned, or holding you back

  • Challenge assumptions that no longer serve your growth

  • Define priorities and concrete next steps

  • Shape strategic direction that fits your reality as a creative

This is a working session - not a lecture, not generic advice - and fully tailored to your practice.

03 Action plan + WhatsApp support

After the session, you’ll receive a concise action plan summarizing:

  • What to focus on next

  • What to stop doing

  • How to structure your energy for the biggest impact

You’ll also have WhatsApp access for follow-up questions and decision support. This short-term support helps you apply insights in real situations - clarifying choices, checking decisions, and keeping momentum without a long-term commitment.

Who this is for

The Deep Dive is designed for independent creatives who are already in demand - but feel something is off. It’s for you if you:

  • Feel stuck or overwhelmed by choices

  • Bring in projects, but don’t see the results match the effort

  • Want clarity before your next big decision

  • Don’t want to become an agency - but want leverage, direction, and structure that fits your way of working

Nola Club’s Business Strategy Deep Dive is for creative professionals who work commercially - artists, designers, performers, photographers, illustrators, and creative entrepreneurs.

It’s for those moments when you feel the need to step back, gain perspective, and see your business with fresh eyes. For those seeking an expert view from the outside, someone who understands your world and can offer honest, thoughtful feedback.

If you’re ready to reflect deeply and chart a path forward with clarity, this is the right place for you.
