Course Content
Overview
The “Know Your Money” mini-course includes seven steps or chapters, designed to be completed over four days by dedicating two hours each day. You can complete the course in one day, but it’s recommended that you thoroughly complete each step before proceeding to the next.
Day 1: Lay The Foundation
Before you can build a strategy, you need a clear destination. Today is your opportunity to define your desired income and put it in writing. You’ll start thinking beyond the numbers by considering what it will take to make that goal achievable and aligned with your creative vision.
- Step 1: Visualize your ideal financial goal
- Step 2: Divide your dream income into smaller, more achievable financial goals
- Step 3: Reflect on the importance of your goal
Day 2: Build Awareness
It’s time to move from dreaming to doing. Today’s lesson will help you gain a clear understanding of your current personal and business financial picture. You’ll identify your real financial needs and begin connecting your goals to the foundation you already have in place.
- Step 4: Realize your current personal and business financial reality
Day 3: Clarify and Strategize
With clarity on both your dream income and your current reality, it’s time to map out your path forward. You’ll set your yearly, monthly, and weekly financial goals. Then explore four key strategies to determine which one best fits your business and will help you reach your money-making target.
- Step 5: Clarify your yearly, monthly, and weekly financial goals
- Step 6: Strategize on what you need to do to reach your financial goals
Day 4: Implement
Clarity and strategy mean little without action. In this final step, you’ll turn your chosen strategy into a practical plan by creating focused, achievable action items. By the end of the day, you’ll be ready to implement what you’ve learned and move confidently toward your financial goals.

Meet Your Course Instructor
Hey there, my name is Karie!
I’ve worn many creative hats: Graphic Designer, Professor, Educator, Speaker, and Career Coach, but it all started with design. Over the past 19 years, I’ve built brands, designed award-winning visuals, and operated a freelance business.
Along the way, I learned one powerful truth: without clear money-making goals, even the most talented creatives can get stuck in a cycle of feast and famine.
That’s why I created this mini-course to help freelancers like you gain clarity and confidence around your financial goals. Through seven focused steps, this course will guide you toward building a purposeful, sustainable freelance career. It’s the resource I wish I and so many of my creative peers had when we first started.
It’s time to get clear about your finances.
It’s time to take action.
It’s time to know your money.
