2021 Mastermind

Increasing Confidence, Clarity & Conversions for Creative Entrepreneurs

Ever feel unsure how to start or scale your business for more revenue?

Alone or intimidated making all the decisions on your own?

Secretly afraid you don’t really know what you’re doing?

Yes? Friend, you’re in the right place.

Business is not easy. Yet it can be far easier, together.

After 10 years in business I’ve taken the 3 most important elements that took me from striving to thriving — a coach, courses, and community — and combined them into one experience.

Most importantly, it’s not $2k for just 2 months or $20-40k for the year. I have learned from incredible mentors at that investment price!

Yet I knew so many people were being left out at those price points, I wanted to create a medium sized group that’s affordable and attainable.

Elegant Excellence Mastermind is a year-long experience of marketing and mindset masterclasses, small group coaching, and intimate community with unparalleled access to myself, Hilary.

Over the next year we’ll go deeper on 3 areas:

STRATEGY
how we make decisions

Both systems we set up, and creative problem solving
From launch projections, to revenue stream analysis and data tracking

MARKETING
how sell more

How do we connect, compel, and convert our dream customers
We’ll work on our content, websites and emails, pricing and positioning, optins and funnels

ELEGANT EXCELLENCE
how we do it gracefully

Our mindset, and the lifestyle we choose to cultivate
This includes taking ownership, leading teams, finances, rest and mental health

Love, I’ve got your back

Heading into my third year leading this mastermind, you benefit from hundreds of women who came before you!

I’ve heard their challenges and confusion, where they got overwhelmed or stuck, and this brand new vision for 2021 is exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less.

If you’re tired of being overwhelmed by jam packed courses, lost in ten-thousand-person Facebook groups, I hear you.

If you want a community and mentor you feel safe and supported with, and to feel more savvy and sophisticated in your business acumen — you’ve found the right place.

P.S. If we haven’t met, hello! I’m Hilary Rushford Collyer.

10 years ago I was a musical theatre performer — Radio City Rockettes, Broadway Tour and all that jazz — working mind-numbing day jobs as a temp or caterer in between shows.

I started a business as a personal stylist just to replace the side jobs I loathed, and within a few years was getting as many Q’s about how I’d built my business.

My 4th year in business I went from $200k to $1.2 million in revenue, and now well beyond.

You may relate more to my original business goal: replace my horrid $35k/year office job and make $50k working for myself. Yet I share the revenue I’ve created as less than 2% of female-owned businesses make over a million dollars a year.

When I first read that statistic it compelled me to start the Elegant Excellence Mastermind, aware I’m blessed with experience few have, and wanting to empower more women to build financial breathing room for themselves and their families.

“Out of all the courses, masterminds etc I’ve bought, this is by far the best value.”

EEM has TRULY helped me get very clear on my financials in a way I’ve been avoiding and needing to for SO long.

It also helps me feel that things are very possible for me and my business; confident I’ve given it my all and can be really proud of what I’ve created no matter how imperfectly or unexpectedly it unfolds. And that I’m not alone in the stressors of entrepreneur life.

Learning from Hilary and the people who have helped make her business such a success, plus getting to know and communicate with her, it’s kind of a dream come true.

I’m incredibly grateful for the mastermind and feel that out of all the courses, masterminds etc I’ve bought, this is by far the best value and fills me with the wisdom I really need.

“My sales are up 40+% for the year! My mind is blown.”

This month (June) I’ve already surpassed last November sales, which as a product based company is CRAZY since November is one of my big holiday months. To me, doing so well in general but especially during this time of COVID, is so unexpected. My sales are up 40+% for the year! My mind is blown.

I am grateful for this Mastermind (both years now!) because it has shown me a new way to run my business that I never thought was possible. I thought the only way to sell to my customer base was in person and by having my studio/storefront open. Having to close my studio made me nervous about sales. The transition from in person to online apparently was not a problem as almost all my sales were online and they kept coming in!

It gives me so much more freedom with my time and energy. I feel like a brand new person! I feel empowered now that I know there is another way to run my business that doesn’t require me to constantly be running.

Plus I just love Hilary so having her be my inspiration, cheerleader and role model is everything.

“I now work 2 hours a day + got 3 new clients after cutting my hours”

Prior to Elegant Excellence I was overwhelmed, stayed up late and worked tons of hours without making much progress. I have a toddler and I was not fully present because I was so tired. It was awful.

Elegant Excellence was a game changer! Was. A. Game changer! I changed my business focus and model. I now work about 2 hours a day instead of 6 hours after my child goes to sleep. I moved my blog to Instagram, started making mini-trainings for my fellow coaches, and I got 3 new clients after cutting my hours!

Thanks to Hilary I now look for what gives me the biggest return time-wise, mentally, and financially — and this made all the difference in the world. I feel free now! I’m so excited to continue putting this into practice.

“SO worth every penny.”

When I’m really down on myself or my dreams and feel like all is lost, EEM is where I turn to and it ALWAYS gets me back on track. Always.

Understanding the storytelling of marketing, and seeing how business works on a detailed level, makes it totally approachable and dream able.

So much gratitude for this mastermind. SO worth every penny. And so much gratitude for Hilary’s approach to us and her business — heart centered and not fear based.

I’ve been experiencing financial difficulty here and EEM’s support through this has been unbelievable. You are truly offering so much beauty and love to others, it’s beautiful to be a part of it.

Thank you for helping me envision a clear path, I feel so much more at peace and confident in moving forward. I can’t tell you how much this mastermind has saved me! All my friends are like ‘wow, what an amazing group you’re in!’ Yep.
