1:1 Mentoring Sessions
with Michael Janda
When I started my full-time freelance career in 2002, I was a ship lost at sea with no rudder, no map, and no compass. I didn’t understand the dynamics of my business. I didn’t know how to price or contract my work. I didn’t know how to transition from freelancer to agency. I had no mentor, no guidance, but I figured it out. I grew from my freelance basement office to a multi-million dollar, Inc. 5000 winning agency with a full-time staff of 20 creatives working out of a studio I owned. I sold my agency in 2015 and now dedicate my time to helping creative entrepreneurs grow their creative businesses. I am on a mission to be the mentor I always wish I’d had.
Everything is customized for you. I don’t have a set program that I take you through. I examine the current state of your business and customize my approach to fit your specific needs and challenges. I will never try to hard sell you into bigger packages or long term contracts.
Our coaching sessions will be held over 1:1 Zoom calls. Each call will be recored for your reference and review. I love working with creatives all over the world and I would love to work with you!

Testimonials
“Michael Janda is the guiding light that helped my agency scale from zero to over $1,000,000 in revenue in under a year. Michael’s deep experience, infinite wisdom, and fun personality make him… probably the greatest business coach out there, especially for creative freelancers and agencies. His resources helped us start our shop with a fully built operation from day one. His years of agency experience helped me work through the mental ebbs and flows of the rollercoaster ride of agency life. And he is just such a good guy! Best investment in myself and my business that I have made to date.” — Hillel Hurwitz, Founder & CEO, Bald Agency
“I’ve hired 3 different coaches in the past and all of them were a total nightmare. Then about a year later……my best friend was telling me about this guy, Michael Janda. He said, he had like a 2 hour chat with him and it completely changed his approach on how is was going to run his business! Michael and I have been working with each other for months and it was been massive for me personally and professionally. He’s been an awesome resource to help bounce ideas off of, he helps keep me accountable, and has given me a clear direction on the steps I need to take to reach my goals. He helped me implement a weekly sales tracking system so I can determine where the business is coming from and what additional investments I need to make to help drive more business. He’s guided me through a strategic, “post-project process” that I never would have thought of. With his awesome design background, he helped are refine my presentations which helped me land a MASSIVE client, who literally said, “I love the way you have this all laid out, this is exactly what we were hoping.” His Calendly is “More Janda” – which is how I feel!! MORE JANDA!!” — Mark Wonderlin, Founder, Mosaic Media Films
“I can’t believe how far I’ve come after my coaching sessions with Michael! He has completely changed the way that I think about myself as a creative by teaching me the skills I needed to go from being a designer to a creative director. I now have the confidence to walk in client meetings and sit on the decision-making table. My boss thinks that the coaching sessions with Michael Janda are the best investment we ever made!” — Kaltrina Ferizi, Creative Director, Adlantica
“Starting a design firm was really scary. I knew how to make logos and make clients laugh and that was about it. Mike’s personal one-on-one coaching, listening and guidance from his real world experience sharing were incredibly helpful. His nuggets on how to manage my business, juggling clients and contracts, and looking at the numbers really did improve every aspect of my life. He helped me understand the bookkeeping bottom line, and with his coaching my firm grew from a team of 2 to 9. We landed solid contracts from his tips on talking to clients, we now know our numbers and have a successful firm turning 15 years old this month! He’s simply the kindest and truly authentic professional in the business who I highly recommend.” — Lorilee Rager, Principal + CCO, Thrive Creative Group
“We are on track to make $4-5 million this year…I can honestly say I would not be in this position if it were not for you.”
– Dain Walker, Founder and CEO of Rivyl
“Since working with Michael, I have transformed the way I run my business, I have doubled on my conversions and sales with his help. We worked together to build out each process I needed for my business as well as ensuring I had all the key components in my contract to submit to clients, this has increased my conversions massively. I feel very lucky to have met Michael and look forward to continue working together with him and growing my agency.” — Rebecca Worsley, CEO, Rainy City Marketing
