Being an entrepreneur is in my DNA.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

I’ve been helping business owners digitally convey their messages for about two decades now.<\/p>\n

It started out like this…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Back in the 90’s, I started a mobile window tinting company in Las Vegas, Tintek Window Tinting. I eventually became one of the most sought-after window tinters in the valley. I did extremely well and established a stellar reputation. My phone rang off the hook and I could hardly keep up with the demand.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

I was tired of relying on others to create my own marketing materials, so I started to teach myself how to do it. We’re talking back in the late ’90s. Working on an old PC, with dial-up internet, AOL, and using Print Master design software. It was brutal, but I wouldn’t settle for mediocrity. So over the years, I would upgrade my machines, cameras, software, and knowledge base.<\/p>\n

As a mobile window tinter, I would find myself in the back of businesses working on fleet trucks and then eventually the owners’ Hummer. The owner would ask for my card and impressed, they would ask, who does these for you? (meaning the cards) I would tell them that I designed them and had them printed. Back then they were pretty flashy. 14 pt, gloss black with a silver foil logo. I would hand them a flyer I designed and direct them to my website. Yes, I had a website for my tint company back in the ’90s, however, most of my business was still coming from phone book ads back then.<\/p>\n

In any case, the owner of the business would be impressed with my marketing materials and would ask me if I could help them out with theirs. Of course, I obliged. Slowly but surely, I would find myself helping business owners more with their business needs than with tinting their windows. I continued to educate myself incessantly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” left_padding_desktop=”3%” constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”3%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight”]\n

I got a job at Sunkist Grafix in Henderson and it wasn’t long before they put me in the Chromira department, running 60″ LED large format printers. Well, what was great about that was, not only was I learning large-format printing, but I was also dramatically evolving my design skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”282″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In From Right” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” alignment=”center” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” margin_top=”2%” margin_bottom=”2%” margin_left=”2%” margin_right=”2%”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

I would cue up a roll of film and it would take a couple of hours to print. So, I would use the time to play around in photoshop. When I ran into an obstacle that I couldn’t overcome, I would walk over to the art department and ask a dozen different artists how to do what I was wanting to do. It was very enlightening. I would be shown several different ways to accomplish the same result. I ate it up.<\/p>\n

I worked late and would have clients come to my manager’s office pretending it was mine. I would consult, create, and deliver while at my job. Don’t get me wrong, I have a very high work ethic and all of my tasks for Sunkist were completed before I catered to my own clients.<\/p>\n

I was learning the differences between Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Corel Draw while being shown the diametrically opposed worlds of vector-based and bitmap graphics. I was understanding the various image formats of jpg, tiff, eps, png, pdf, etc. I was taught the nuances between RGB, CMYK, and HEXADECIMAL color palettes. Not only was I learning about these things; I was creating, printing, and physically installing these graphically laden substrates.<\/p>\n

I opened a photography studio called Lucid Lenz, with a Sony Cybershot, and was shooting, printing, and hanging beautiful portraits for families all over the valley. I was subsequently hired to shoot weddings in Las Vegas, Sedona, Zion, and Calabasas.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default”

I was commissioned by Parade of Homes to design their magazine and help their vendors with their marketing materials. All the while, I was incrementally learning the seemingly fragile and frustrating world of web design. I started with basic HTML and then FLASH showed up. I hired a couple of people versed in FLASH to implement my visions. I would design statically in Photoshop and they would drop the elements into the FLASH templates that I would purchase. Then APPLE dropped the bomb… no more FLASH! All of that work over the years was in vain as HTML5 came into the scene.<\/p>\n

I dipped my toes into the world of WordPress, just long enough to get cold feet and run the other way. I found myself immediately frustrated with the platform. For the record, this was around 2008. So, I took it upon myself to build sites on Wix and Weebly. My clients were satisfied, but I wasn’t. After a couple of years, I decided once again to give WordPress a shot.

    A simplified approach and beautiful results that get you paid.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

    I don’t have all the answers, but the answers I do have, keep the checks coming in and my clients happy. So happy, in fact, that I haven’t had to advertise. My clients eagerly refer me to their friends and associates.<\/p>\n

    I can guide you from knowing absolutely nothing at all to publishing a beautifully dynamic website in a fraction of the time it would take you on your own. I belong to several Facebook groups that focus on WordPress and the things I see them talk about there make my brain wrinkle. So much talk about CSS, coding, security issues, and just so much overkill jargon it gives me a headache. I don’t participate because I don’t have to. I don’t work like that. I’m sure whatever they are talking about is important to them, but not to me. I have a very streamlined, no-nonsense approach to how I develop WordPress websites.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” left_padding_desktop=”6%” constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”6%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_desktop=”3vh” font_line_height=”1.5″]\n

As well as general informative videos and mindset hacks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you follow my exact process from domain purchase to publishing and clearing the cache of the final page of your WordPress website, I guarantee you’ll have no issues. If you do, they will be easily resolved with my help or some help from the community. I have a very precise and streamlined formula that is trouble-free and creates ridiculously beautiful results.<\/p>\n

    For those wanting to start a business in web design, I have created several videos on client relations, pitch meetings, content mining, expectations, boundaries, and closing the deal. As well as resources and templates for content inspiration and consolidation, proposals, invoicing, and business essentials.<\/p>\n

    I also offer weekly live group Q&A’s, one-on-one coaching sessions, and an online community for everyone to share their successes, bounce ideas, troubleshoot, and ask questions relative to the course.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”How long is the course?”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

    CrushCourse is designed to be self-paced and will continue to evolve over time.

You can speed up your pace or slow it down, as needed. If you ever need additional guidance or feedback in any part of the course, you will have access to the community forums, weekly live Q&A\u00a0 Zoom meetings, and one-on-one coaching sessions with me. I truly enjoy watching people succeed and master whatever they do, and it is my goal is to help you do so.<\/p>\n

    Computer:<\/h3>\n

    If your current computer doesn’t have any problem editing home movies, then you’ll be fine. I work on a Mac and utilize multiple desktops on a single screen, which I love! However, if you don’t have that option, a second monitor would certainly come in handy.<\/p>\n

    Webcam:<\/h3>\n

    You’re going to want to be able to capture semi-professional quality videos of yourself. Meaning, a standard built-in webcam usually doesn’t cut it and you’re going to have to upgrade. Facecam by Elgato is an excellent option for just under $170. (which beats having to buy an expensive DSLR)<\/p>\n

    Microphone:<\/h3>\n

    Audio quality is almost more important than the video itself. So, make sure your mic is up to par. I’m using a Yeti Blue, but there are several options out there to choose from that are reasonably priced and sound amazing.<\/p>\n

    Video Editor:<\/h3>\n

    I use iMovie and it does exactly what I need it to do. Simple and uncomplicated. Use whatever floats your boat.<\/p>\n

    Photoshop:<\/h3>\n

    Sure, lots of people are using Canva these days, but the industry standard is Photoshop. Canva is like the Wix of image editing. It gets the job done, but it’s not as polished or robust as Photoshop. And, in all actuality, the Adobe Photography Plan (which includes Photoshop) is only $9.99 per month. While Canva’s Pro Plan (which is what you would need to be semi-comparable) is $12.99 per month. So, Photoshop is not only more powerful, it’s cheaper.
