Cynthia Schomp
For 20 years, I watched brilliant designers burn out while less talented ones thrived. I discovered the reason had nothing to do with their creativity—it was because they were running a hobby, not a business. The secret to scaling isn’t working harder; it’s working smarter. It’s having a system.
I Don’t Just Teach Design. I Build Profitable Businesses.
As an Air Force veteran, I live and breathe the discipline, organization, and attention to detail required to execute high-stakes missions. That foundation, combined with my degree in Cyber Security, taught me the single most important lesson for creative entrepreneurs: the most successful systems are the ones that are secure, structured, and repeatable. I’ve spent two decades refining a blueprint that removes the chaos and guesswork from freelancing.
My goal for every member of the Business Builder Club is deceptively simple: I want you to build a business that consistently brings in over $10,000 a month. Not by working 80-hour weeks, but by implementing a clear, organized structure that gives you true time freedom and financial control.
This isn’t just a theory. I’ve applied this exact framework to help struggling local agencies—the ones barely keeping the lights on—and scaled them to over $30,000 a month in pure profit. I didn’t just throw more leads at them; I rebuilt their operational DNA from the ground up, implementing the same systems for pricing, client acquisition, and project management that you will learn in this program.
My passion for AI and new technology ensures we’re not just using outdated tactics; we’re building efficient, future-proof businesses. We will leverage technology to automate the mundane so you can focus on what you do best: creating.
You have the creative talent. I have the business blueprint. Together, we’ll build the career you’ve always deserved. The roadmap is here—all you have to do is take the first step.
See you inside,
Cynthia

I’ve been freelancing for years and was making decent money, but I’d hit a hard ceiling around the $6k/month mark and couldn’t break through. I’d bought other courses that were mostly fluff. Cynthia’s program is different. It’s a no-nonsense, zero-fluff blueprint for growth. The From Freelancer to Founder module was exactly what I needed. It wasn’t about getting more clients; it was about building leverage. I just hired my first contractor and landed a $25k project something I never would have had the confidence or the systems to handle six months ago. This is for people who are done with the freelance grind and are ready to build a real asset.
Before joining the Business Builder Club, I was a decent designer but a terrible business owner. My income was a rollercoaster, I was undercharging just to win projects, and I was constantly chasing invoices. Honestly, I was close to giving up on freelance. Cynthia’s program was a wake-up call. Her systems first approach especially the module on value based pricing, was a complete ah ha moment. Within three months of implementing her process, I doubled my rates and signed my first ever five figure project. I’m now consistently hitting $8k months, and for the first time, I feel like a confident CEO, not just a hired artist.
I had clients, but I was drowning in chaos. My ‘process’ was a mix of messy email threads, endless client revisions, and late nights trying to keep everything straight. I was burning out fast. The Business Builder Club isn’t just a course; it’s an operating system. Cynthia’s background in the Air Force really shines through—everything is a system, a process, a checklist. The client onboarding and project management SOPs alone were worth the entire investment. I’ve cut my admin time in half, my projects run like clockwork, and I took my first real vacation in three years without constantly checking my phone.
