2nd edition (yay!)
October 24-25-26, 2022
At the Manor of Lac Delage

Warning
This is an event for photographers; and you don't even need to bring your camera!

w1.png

Do you feel like you've walked around the garden? 
The impostor syndrome, the comparison, the feeling that you lack the tools to be the entrepreneur you want to be?

w15.png

CNPUW was created with a benevolent approach.  We want you to see something other than the classic Workshops!

You've had a ton of creative workshops that focus on shooting, posing, and image processing.

You focus so much on developing your skills and talent in PHOTO, but little in ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

 

Being a solopreneur brings its own set of challenges; growth management, customer service, ALL of our business tasks, accounting; all the daily poutine and the unexpected weigh heavily on your shoulders. 

What was initially just a passion for photography turned into a COMPANY. 

 

Did you know that a company headed by a better-equipped manager is more likely to survive?   Did you know that only 60.5% of small businesses with 1 to 4 employees survive after 5 years of activity and it drops to 42.5% after 10 years*?


 

Take the leadership of your company and take care of its leader.

CNPUW this is for you if you

  • Dream of a moment of your own, to refocus on your business. 

  • Want to share with other photopreneurs about your reality.

  • Want to come home with a concrete toolbox to take your business further.

  • Wish to get out of your slippers and get (a little) stirred.

  • Have the feeling of being an impostor, even after several years at the head of your business.

CNPUW this is not for you if you

  • Think that passion and a positive mindset have nothing to do with entrepreneurship.

  • Just looking for a hotel to spend 2 nights without the children (yes it's a plus... but it's not just that).

  • Don't be 100% convinced that owning your own business is the greatest thing in the world.

  • Believes that the group experience does not provide more value than it should.

In this workshop, I share with you my secrets for smooth, personalized customer service that will save you time!  With my tools and my Workflow, I am able to anticipate questions , to anticipate needs and also sell more without having the feeling of being a salesperson. I'm showing you how, you're gonna freak out.

 

I'm so excited!  Words fail me to tell you how this event lives in me.  I've been thinking about creating more tools for a while now. on entrepreneurship for photographers.  

We often neglect a whole aspect of the management of our business. We put aside the happiness of having a healthy business.  Being a solopreneur should give us the freedom to choose our projects.  I can't wait to grow with you.

Festive evening between us!

Let's celebrate in style!

Mélissa Miron and Alexe Martel taught me a lot and just staying at the Monastery did me so much good. Meeting all the beautiful people that I have also met, discussing our lives as photographers and our lives in general. Getting out of my routine, thinking only of myself, dressing smart, laughter, laughter, laughter, wow. You have touched on several spheres of my life, more than just the photographer in me, and that's magic.

J'ai adoré mon expérience CNEPUW pour une 3e année consécutive. Ça été l'année que j'ai le plus apprécié, appris et profité. J'ai plus d'expérience en tant qu'entrepreneur que les autres années et j'ai vu la différence. Les sujets étaient pertinents et nous avions le temps de les mettre en pratique, ce qui était très apprécié. La soirée nous a permis de lâcher notre fou, et surtout tout le stress et le mauvais que j'avais emmagasiner dans les derniers temps. J'y serai sans aucun doute l'an prochain aussi! Merci tellement!

Andree-Anne Joly

The ideal place to take a moment for yourself, but above all to take care of your business! Significant workshops that are there to put you back on the right track. In short, this stay was a key moment to answer my questions that I had and get back on my X before the next high season.

Joanie Houde

Connecting with our colleagues my god it was hot, being on retreat day and night like that, I flipped over how fun it is! I would go back tomorrow morning! Wow wow wow and wow again!!!!! Thank you so so so beautiful women!! Everything was perfect ❤️❤️❤️

Maude Godbout

CNEPUW, c'est la retraite dont j'avais de besoin pour prendre un temps d'arrêt et de réflexion pour mon entreprise. Parce qu'après quelques années de sur-place, j'avais envie d'en apprendre plus et d'échanger wn groupe avec d'autres collègues, pour progresser et propulser mon entreprise. Mon seul regret : ne pas avoir été de la partie les 2 éditions précédentes. 😉

I could have written only 'I love you, congratulations!' because I love Cathy and Annie and because they deserve all the applause in the world after putting together this magnificent "workshop-which-is-not-one". But I will add that if you have any doubts, if you go forward-backward-forward, if you're new to the field, if you've been rolling around for several years, if you bite your nails before each high season, if you ask questions, if you feel alone, if you need to get out from behind your screen, if you lack inspiration... if ALL THIS or even JUST one of these statements applies, CNPUW is there for you. And I advise you to be there this year!

Julie Léveillé

Thank you Cathy and Annie for your professionalism throughout the adventure. You managed this with masterful hands and you were very generous with your knowledge. Many thanks! You are exceptional!
