    How Nick Nolan went from solo freelancer to a team he can step back from

    Nick was freelancing with no real direction, and the generic coaches he had tried before were all about crunching numbers and blind to the creative side. In the VBA he learned that sales, not his showreel, drives the business. He built the confidence to sell, brought editors in, and stepped back from doing every shoot himself.

    Where Nick started

    He was a freelancer with no clear direction. The coaches he had tried before were too focused on crunching the numbers and did not understand a creative business.

    He was doing everything himself and could not see a way to step back.

    “I was a bit stuck on going out to shoots and doing everything myself and not being able to outsource. Now I'm outsourcing, I have editors in place.”

    Nick Nolan

    The move

    The shift was realising that sales, not his portfolio, is what actually drives the business, and building the confidence to sell. With that in place he could outsource, put editors in, and stop being on every shoot.

    “When you join a video business coaching group, every problem you can relate to, and everyone's going through the same issues.”
