“I've only been a member for a short time but Cool Wow has been great. I didn't know what to expect or how things would work virtually, but it has been really interactive and makes me feel less "alone" in my business. It's such an open and supportive environment and when I do jump on coworking sessions it makes my day better. I'm more productive, I get that interaction with others, there's no competitiveness and it adds so much to my business.”

— KARLY FYNN, EVENT MANAGER

“Being part of a supportive group is everything, especially when trying to juggle everything and find some kind of balance. Cool Wow is a bunch of like-minded people and I'm glad to see it back as I've been a member for quite some time. I've always enjoyed the masterclasses and the opportunity to learn something I wouldn't normally get the opportunity or find time to do.”

— JAYNIKA VEITCH, FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER

I have a sense of reassurance knowing that whatever is going on in my life, Cool Wow is still meeting twice a week, and whenever I'm ready, they'll be there waiting for me. It’s always entertaining making sessions and it’s a safe place to turn when I'm having work-related problems (or even personal problems, to be honest!). I’ve felt happier and more productive since joining the club.

— VELVET GARVEY, FREELANCE COPYWRITER & EDITOR

I’ve gained a greater sense of community, support, productivity, and inspiration to do and be my best. Since joining I’ve realised how much I want to focus on my ‘why’ and only work only with those I align with and feel passionate about—and that’s OK (because I see others doing the same)! The support network is incredible and that motivation and accountability is much needed. I always feel so welcome and safe within the community.

— HAYLEY MCMURRAY, FOUNDER OF BOBBYMAC DESIGN

Being part of Cool Wow made me feel more validated in running my own biz, just seeing and hearing that others have the same feelings and challenges made me feel less alone. I love having a trusted network to get referrals from or to refer work to and have also met some great new local biz babes! Everyone is so supportive of one another and that is really nice. Oh, and Pomodoro timer is a game-changer for my focus.

— CHARLIE BLAND, FOUNDER OF DEAR CHARLIE MARKETING

The first change I noticed was folding in more structure to my day. The morning sessions are so handy to help kickstart my day (on time!) and hold me accountable to get tasks done. I don’t feel like I'm doing this whole thing alone. Hearing the wins and challenges of other business owners, and nutting out solutions, and sharing ideas, has helped alleviate that sense of solo-ness.

— NELL CASEY, FOUNDER OF FETE CREATIVE

I can focus in the sessions and get what I need to get done —done. I use the time to plan and work on the business. I noticed a positive change in my productivity and habits—changing the bad ones and trying to make them into good ones. I’ve always worked from home so it’s really good to see faces and having someone hold you accountable keeps me on track. I feel connected with an amazing community. It sparks joy within my week!

— KYLIE STEWART, FOUNDER SAY-SO CREATIVE

The first change I noticed since joining was realising how much I can realistically accomplish in a day. I also felt connected and supported. I've loved the virtual coworking for that. The biggest change for me has been in scheduling my week for specific tasks and blocking out time to do it. That takes discipline but has been the key to getting everything done.

— BEC IRVINE, COMMERCIAL ARTIST

I was really missing being a part of a team, so it was nice to join a supportive community. I'm only 6 months into my business journey, but it's amazing being surrounded by super smart, passionate and like-minded female founders and they've definitely inspired me to think BIG when it comes to evolving and growing my business.

— DANIKA TURNER, FOUNDER OF D.T COMM

I had never tried virtual coworking until my coach recommended it to me - and boy, it’s a game changer. I’m so glad I’ve come across Cool Wow Collective! I’ve met some awesome freelancers, and have really enjoyed the structure of the co-working virtual sessions. Two words: Do. It.

— BRODIE-ROSE NEWSOME, GRAPHIC DESIGN

I absolutely love the virtual coworking sessions. Having a supportive & fun community to motivate and empower you is invaluable as a solo business owner. This is something all freelancers should utilise. Cool Wow Collective is very cool - it’s the collective freelancers should get amongst.
