“If you’re a business owner with an email list or you’ve been thinking of adding one to your business plan, you need to take this class! An email list is so much more than just regurgitating what you post on your blog, and Scott + Elise go into amazing detail on how to really take control of your list and turn it into the KEY part of your business.” – Kory W, Designer

“I have to say that Elise and Scott have created such an overwhelmingly valuable tool with the combination of their classes and the Facebook group. The volume and wealth of information in Wooing an Email List is so incredibly satisfying. This class was packed with SO much information I was constantly pausing to take notes (totaling 9 pages front + back), and I loved being able to work at my own pace. As a creative entrepreneur and an educator, I could not be more confident in recommending this class to business owners in any field as well as company employees working in sales and marketing.” – Jaime D, Branding Specialist

“After about a year in business doing fairly well on my own, I felt like I had really plateaued and was unable to really make a living doing what I loved. I experimented with different marketing strategies and none of it really paid off. But now I feel so hopeful, finally, that I have the tools to make this business work for me! After just a few minutes of listening to this class, I felt so energized to really get my business going. I felt like I had been let in on a great secret of how to get people to pay you to do what you love! Thanks so much for sharing all of your hard work with us, Scott and Elise!” – Jenny M, Hand Letterer + Graphic Designer

“Wooing an Email List was sooo in-depth and thorough, I felt like I had every single question answered and a clear picture of how to move forward! Before this class, I felt so overwhelmed by the thought of an email list. I’ve always had it on the back burner, near the bottom of my ‘someday when I have time’ list, but never felt any motivation or desire to make it happen. Until I took this class, I didn’t understand the importance or value of an email list, or why it was vital to my business. Now that I understand the WHY behind having a list, the nuts + bolts of HOW to make it happen feels less intimidating!” – Valerie K, Stationery Designer

— Megan D, Illustrator + Designer

“I have been toying with my email list for about 6 months, knowing the power in the list but overwhelmed with what to focus on first. This class helped reiterate the importance of a list and gave concrete steps to help me really speak to my dream clients and draw them into my world in an authentic way. I really appreciated how transparent Scott and Elise were about their own journey with a list…Hearing others who struggled and how they eventually succeeded is like a B12 shot of motivation to get going!” – Heather F, – Designer + Decor Coach

“This class was basic enough that it made perfect sense, was implementable right away, and didn’t cause me to procrastinate because I needed to go get more pieces of the puzzle (tech stuff, software, etc). It was in-depth enough that I felt like I got really good value! I am a serial course-taker, but that all changed when I took my first class with Scott and Elise! Of course I have copious notes, but I was completely blown away to discover that I also have a completed action plan – something I’ve NEVER been able to finish before AND I’m excited (not scared) to implement it!!!” – Sage M, Wellness Educator

— Caroline D, The Book Dr.

“Wooing an Email List was plump full of impact + practical ways to incorporate list building into my business. It helped take something so overwhelming + broke it into bite-sized chunks I can’t wait to dig into!” – Elizabeth B, Photographer

“I love that the class gave me a new way to think about using social media as a whole, regardless of which or how many platforms I’m on. I used to think about each post as a separate entity that I hoped would “go viral” or get me pageviews (and, honestly, that felt sort of icky), but now I think about each post as a twinkling star in the constellation that makes up my brand identity online. I feel freed from using my brand’s social media as a relentless stream of self-promotion and now feel confident that I can use it as a conversation starter, a teaser, a way to give myself and my skills and personality to my readers in a way that actually makes me want to spend time on those channels because it’s a joy to engage.” – Mary K, Food Blogger

“Hey Sweet Pea’s social media class was the bomb. I’ve always looked at social media as an extension of myself rather than of my brand. Seeing it differently helped me see things I could do to see growth in my pages as well as gaining interaction. I’d definitely recommend this to all business owners, especially those entrepreneurs looking to grow their business through social media!” – Kory W, Designer

“This class was so much more than I expected it to be! I thought that I may know a good 50% of what was going to be said in the class, but alas, this was not true. The session had so much information and gave me such a new perspective on social media that I truly believe the results in the future will far outweigh the investment in the class!!! I highly recommend this class!” – Steph B, Photographer

—  Debra H, Clothing Designer

“Social media is such a beast to tackle. The Hey Sweet Pea team can teach you in a short time how to conquer! After taking their class on social media I feel empowered with practical advice to connect my brand with social media. Get ready social media world, you’re gonna hear me roar (Sorry, couldn’t pass up the Katy Perry opportunity)!” – Kristin W, Designer

“I’m busy… you’re busy… we’re all busy. So knowing that I need to get my brand out there for the world to see and connect with my past/present/future clients is a daunting task. But after taking the Social Media class from Hey, Sweet Pea, I have a better understanding of how I can manage my time and content to make social media work in my favor… without feeling overwhelmed!” – Milisa S, Photographer

“I’m signing up for ALL HSP’s classes! I’m equipped with the knowledge of building relationships and supplying content for my audience. I learned so much and felt encouraged and excited. Can’t wait to see how my business grows because of this class (and the others I’m signing up for)! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge, Elise and Scott – y’all are powerhouses!” – Kell H, Photographer

— Anna R, Event Planner

“Social media is such an in-your-face, must-have resource for Creatives, but navigating it seems almost impossible sometimes. Elise did all of the hard work for us and just presented us with an easy to understand, inspiring, ready-to-rock plan that we can customize for our own businesses! The Hey, Sweet Pea Social Media class is a small investment but a powerful business tool!” – Layne P, Photographer

“What I loved most about this class (and all of your work), is that it has a calming effect on me. I’ve taken a lot of great online training but more than any other course I’ve taken, your way of BEING makes me feel a whole new level of relaxed about creating what I’m creating in the world. And I think that’s a MASSIVE gift (at least to me). The content of the class was awesome, obviously, but the best part of it for me really is the way you make me feel like I can just embrace my voice, take it one step at a time, and totally do this.” – Leah C, Life Coach

“This class is hands down THE best thing I have done to get my sanity (and my sleep) back. Amongst my colleagues there is an INTENSE culture of sleeplessness, hustle, and general insanity. I’ve always known that even if I’m a part of that niche, that is NOT what I want my life and business to look like. This class gave me a million helpful ways to step away from all of that, and as I’m applying all of it, systems are trickling into far more than just my business. Systems are emerging for my laundry, cooking, housework…you name it. So I’m not exaggerating when I say this class has changed my life 100% for the better!” – Debra H, Clothing Designer

“Mastering Systems is really just that. I already have so many systems in place that I’ve been meaning to get together for months. With the help of Hey Sweet Pea, I’ve seen a growth in my free time and a growth in customers in just the short week that I’ve had a few new systems in place (hello, email templates!). This class is a fantastic way to get the tools you need to streamline your business and stay on track!” – Bri T, Editorial Calendar Coach

“I think systems are a hugely important part of getting started and running your business, and I don’t think enough entrepreneurs are thinking about them or talking about systems because they want to focus on the more interesting and fun parts of running a business. This class on business systems has been incredibly helpful! We are definitely going to be working hard to set up our systems, see where we can be automating as much as possible, and taking our lives back so we can get back to our weekend adventures. No more staying up past midnight responding to emails or working on client projects in the middle of the night. I am recommending this class to every entrepreneur I know! I am so inspired and ready to take my business back by the reins and get back to being in control so that I can give my clients a better service!” – Mary V, Designer/Photographer

— Zoe V

“Oh my gosh, Elise and Scott. The Systems class is EVERYTHING. It may as well be called, ‘How to Run Your Small Business, Jenny.’ I’ve felt for a really long time like I couldn’t ‘get my life together.’ I started my small business while staying home with my two small daughters and every part of my life since then has felt at best, unfinished, and at worst, chaotic. Since taking this class, I really feel like I have the tools, not only to streamline my business and make time for what really matters and what I’m really passionate about, but also to use those tools in my everyday life with my family and my home. I feel one thousand pounds lighter already. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!” – Jenny M, Hand Letterer + Graphic Designer

“This class was extremely practical! It helped me make a game plan for my business. It didn’t just tell me what I should be doing, but how I should do it and what it should look like. I would highly recommend it for anyone who feels like a crazy person running a business!” – Elisabeth B, Photographer

“Being a solo-preneur I was finding myself constantly overwhelmed, stressed and ultimately unproductive. While I had some systems in place, I wasn’t using them consistently. I had unfinished assignments and was losing crazy amounts of money. Mastering Systems + Productivity was a like a lifeline that I didn’t know I needed!! I felt that I was finally on course, my ‘GPS’ was no longer saying ‘recalculating, recalculating, recalculating…’ I felt empowered and equipped to begin creating and implementing systems for EVERY part of my business! If you want to free up your time and have more freedom to experience life, you need this course in your life!” – Annette S, Audiologist

“Systems are the skeleton to any business and address how a business is ran and structured. Without having strong systems in place, a business lacks important roles that will allow you to be successful. So this class did a great job at implementing how your systems can help you, where to start, and how to evolve over time. This was a major struggle for me and I am eager to begin writing out my systems and practicing them. This class really helped me organize my disorganization!” – Katelyne M, Photographer

— Nicole D, Life Coach

“I SO needed this. It’s like a breath of fresh air and I loved every minute of it. I don’t know how they do it, but Scott and Elise take the issues that seem to be holding me back the most and break down the solution to those issues in such easy to swallow bite-size pieces. Mastering Systems + Productivity was the sedative I needed and put my feet back on the ground. I’ve got traction now and my wheels are no longer spinning! Thank you Scott and Elise!” – Treacy M, Creative Coach

“I feel like this system course was made for me! I was just starting my side business and I was really struggling with how I was spending my time. I love putting full thought and heart into all my interactions and products, and this course gave me a way to still offer that, but get my time back! Elise and Scott are such role models for this way of running a business. They are a living example of how it really works because they live and breathe systems in their life. They show that I don’t have to sacrifice the quality of my interactions and my work. And as a (recovering) perfectionist, I am super wary of automating things. But the Systems class made me realize that systems = FREEDOM! That I could start filling my life with more of the things and experiences that I WANTED to do, instead of all those things that sucked my time. So simple, but a fantastic philosophy of how to live one’s life.” – Amber E, Photographer

“The Mastering Systems + Productivity class changed the way I view my workday. Scott and Elise broke it down into actionable chunks to beat overwhelm. The techniques taught in class are ones that I continue to implement and it has saved me so much time by making my workflow more streamlined. Take this class!!” – Laura L, Wedding Planner

“Scott took such a broad topic and made it sound accessible, realistic, and doable! Prior to the class I was so overwhelmed by trying to do everything as a solo-business owner. Seeing how I can still work solo but implement automated systems is a HUGE relief. I love that we received a resource page because that alone saved me hours of research.” – Christie J, Calligrapher

“I loved how you broke down strategy into bit-sized chunks. It was simple and easy to digest. Following your strategy tips has made the hugest difference in the way I use Instagram. Taking this class was a game-changer. I have tripled my following/community on Instagram based on the principles I learned and it is the best class to take for anyone who wants to learn the ways of Instagram.” – Anelise S, Designer

“Everybody in the whole wide world should take this class! After taking this class, you’ll have a deeper and better understanding of Instagram and you’ll fall in love with it. Since taking the class and following what I learned my Instagram account has doubled and it keeps growing! Caution: Once you start taking one of the Sweet Pea classes…one is not enough. You’ll keep coming back for more.” – Helena O, Social Media Consultant

“I really enjoyed the Instagram class by Hey, Sweet Pea. I’ve done a lot of research on Instagram in the past and thought I might know a lot of the things they were going to talk about, but boy was I wrong! They opened my eyes to an entire new world and now I know why I love the folks I follow on Instagram. There is a science behind it all and now I know, thanks to Hey, Sweet Pea! Thanks again guys. I really enjoyed it!” – Tiffany S, Wedding Planner

—  Mary V, Designer/Photographer

“This was my first HSP class and I loved every minute of it! Just listening to Scott + Elise was such a refreshing break from the numbers-crazed, boring writing, constant-selling world of IG that I’m used to. Hearing them describe how to speak directly to our dream client’s dreams, fears, and needs – THIS is the kind of person I want to be and the kind of account I want to have. I love that they spent zero time talking about how to gain lots of followers and all their time talking about how to be an account worth following. Because Instagram really is one of those things where if you build it, they will come. I’m so glad I found them early on in my entrepreneurial journey so that I have the best possible coaches leading me in a direction I want to go.” – Debra H, Clothing Designer

“I’m so grateful for the Hey Sweet Pea Instagram class. I have fallen in love with the Instagram platform for networking and sharing snippets of life but felt like I wasn’t maximizing its potential, despite feeling like I was spending a TON of time “hanging out” there. This class gave me some good topics to focus on and the tools I need to move my brand’s Instagram presence forward in the direction I’d like to go. I feel so much more confident about maximizing the Instagram platform now. Plus, it was awesome to hear the ‘secrets’ behind Hey Sweet Pea’s amazing Instagram feed. Take this class!! You won’t regret it!” – Valerie K, Designer/Photographer

“HSP’s Instagram class was absolutely fantastic. I learned so much in regards to how to really integrate my Instagram feed into my brand and attract my ideal clients! If you are lost on Instagram and need ideas on how to make it work for you, you simply MUST take this class!” — Julie W, Photographer/Designer

— Brittany A, Designer

“If you’re even contemplating using Instagram for your business this class is a must! I wasn’t sure what to expect, and was somewhat sceptical about how much I could learn about one social media platform that a Google search couldn’t tell me. I was SO wrong! Google ain’t got nothin’ on them *queue finger clicking* – Scott and Elise seriously know their stuff!” – Zoe V

“In its purest form, the ‘Thriving on Instagram’ class was eye-opening. There are so many things I had been overlooking that have hindered my success to grow on this platform. Instead of skimming the surface with obvious tricks of the trade and feeling jipped – Elise and Scott dig into the nitty gritty details that truly have the biggest impact on thriving here. So worth every penny, I’d take their classes a million times over! I finally feel like I have clarity and direction and can start excelling instead of treading water in confusion.” – Nicole L, Designer

“I loved your Thriving on Instagram class! You were the first (and one of the few) online classes I took after B-School because I needed my Instagram and business to have a soul and to make my audience feel something and I knew I would learn that from you. I haven’t regretted it once! Thank you so much for showing me that everything you do whether that be business, branding, or social media, can have soul and can touch others. Keep up the amazing work! P.S. – I know that Instagram isn’t all about numbers, but since I took your class my numbers have almost doubled!” – Kelley D, Designer

“I thought I was an expert at Instagram until this class! Elise and Scott taught blow your mind ideas that are practical yet totally genius! Highly recommend it to everyone!” – Elisabeth B, Photographer

“Truth: I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing, and yet I still found SO much value in this class. That’s because even though I’ve always been a good writer in other forums, I’ve always struggled with writing for and about my business. My training never taught me how to be authentic and engaging – even when I had something to sell. Scott and Elise broke it down and made it so clear and approachable. Even 24 hours later, my Instagram posts are resonating so much more deeply with my people and getting so much more love (I mean for real – 24 hours later I’m getting comments from dream clients thanking me for inspiring them!). Love, love, love. Thank you S + E!” – Debra H, Clothing Designer

“I felt like you guys were live, sitting with in my living room talking me through the class. Immediately I felt connected and welcomed into the Sweet Pea family! I felt inspired and safe to dream as a creative should! Writing for Delight is the first ever class I’ve done and I would gladly take the same one all over again! I instantly fell for you and your beautiful spirit. It may sound cheesy, but I do feel like you are in my corner cheering me on in whatever my little heart dreams. You really do create meaningful content that inspires your dream client. Thanks for being awesome.” – Laura S, Writer

— Brittany F, Designer

“I’m someone who is very intimidated by writing, especially when I know others will be reading it. This class helps to break down those barriers and transform writing insecurities into brand authenticity. ‘Writing to Delight’ opened my eyes to the power of feeling through words, and relationships through storytelling. I can’t say enough good things about this class. It will push you to discover and attract the dream clients you’ve been hoping for! Another amazing class by Hey Sweet Pea!” – Emily Jane G, Design + Marketing

“Hey, Sweet Pea classes always live up to and exceed my expectations. I come away from my time in class completely inspired, motivated, educated and encouraged. Scott and Elise make you think about the topics from fresh new perspectives and share real-life examples of how their approach works. I instantly put into practice their suggestions and already feel more in control of the story I’m sharing with the world. The resources they share and the homework they give add such value to the in-class portion and it lets you continue to learn. I know I will use what I was taught for every post I share from now on. I now have the tools to write with delight for my dream clients.” – Shaina L, Graphic Designer + Photographer

— Amber E, Photographer

“I LOVED the class and felt both inspired and equipped to make writing for and about my business stronger and more delightful. Writing isn’t my strength, I have to work at it, but the class materials and your perspective and encouraging spirit throughout make me excited to put in the work!” – Jadyn S, Interior Decorator

“Writing is very difficult for me so I really needed this. Writing to Delight was so helpful for this non writer. I learned practical solutions with a plan of action! 100x better than any writing class I’ve ever taken! – Elisabeth B, Photographer

“First of all, y’all are so incredibly warm and fun that right from the very beginning I felt like I was sitting with a friend over coffee getting some amazing career advice. Writing to Delight has completely shifted my perspective of my business! The exercises really helped to develop a clear identity and sense of purpose. I finished the course feeling like ‘Yea, I got this’. I’m so grateful to have found you guys.” – Abby H, Blogger
