Many creatives spend hours polishing their portfolios, yet still struggle to attract the kinds of clients they feel they deserve.

And that’s when the self doubt starts to creep in.

But it’s not because your work isn’t good enough.

It’s because most portfolios are built with the wrong mindset.

I’ve seen award-winning designers get overlooked, while others with less polished work get taken more seriously, because they’re making this one mistake.

In this episode, I break down the portfolio mistake that’s quietly costing you opportunities and the 3-step process to fix it.

If you feel like your skills deserve higher paying clients than you’re currently attracting, this is for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • The biggest mistake creatives make when creating a portfolio.
  • The crucial elements most creatives miss when offering solutions.
  • How to present your work in a way that makes picking you a no-brainer.

If you get value from this episode, follow Creative Courage on your favourite podcast app for more transformational content to help you thrive as a creative.

PS: If you want a custom roadmap to grow a creative studio that works for you, rather than the other way around. Click this link - https://resources.mattessam.co.uk/.
