Last week started out right by heading to Austin and attending The Up Factor Workshop! In case you don’t follow The Up Factor and know what it’s all about- Sophie Epton creates an amazing atmosphere for wedding industry creatives to get educated on up leveling their businesses. And I’m here to tell you- her speaker line up was nothing short of EPIC. Lucky for us, Brittany Pigorini, of Birch & Brass, taught us an amazing system to implement ALL the things in bite size chunks to get it done!

The Up Factor by Sophie Epton

Notice I mentioned Sophie’s workshop being for wedding industry creatives, not only photographers! I met planners, make up artists, videographers- if you work in the wedding industry you’ll love The Up Factor!

I believe every workshop has two avenues of benefits, networking and education. As I mentioned it was so amazing to meet other creatives and Sophie taught me that relationships are everything. That notion has been incredibly true and helpful for my business!

I was excited to hear talks on growth plateaus, smart money moves, system implementation, the power of social media, building a strategic brand, pricing and creating success, how to work more destination weddings, and finding a work-life ‘balance’. The Up Factor by Sophie Epton is a diverse workshop and covers ALL the business needs!

And that was all just in day one! Day two focused on small groups and one-on-one sessions in order to really focus on the weak spots.

My Experience with The Up Factor

In case you can’t already tell, I loved the workshop that Sophie put together. Every aspect of The Up Factor Workshop was thoughtful. From the swag bag (of actually useful resources) to the food and beverages. I know from working with her one-on-one that she truly wants other creatives to succeed.

It would be easy for her to have the attitude that I could take away from her market pool, but Sophie believes in abundance and therefore enjoys lifting other creatives up!

I’ve never had a question or request that she hasn’t jumped in and whole heartedly helped me. And my business has grown because of it!
