The Business Accelerator:
Strategic Mentoring to Scale Your ENTERPRISE

Helping Creatives, Photographers & Ambitious Founders
Work ON Their Future, Creating a High-Value, Sustainable Career.

TRAINING & MENTORING BY AN AWARD WINNING FOUNDER, Emily Macdonald

All too often, I meet inspiring business owners who are brilliant at their creation - whether that's a high-value service or a tangible product, but get trapped working in their business, not on it. They lack the systems needed for true profit.

It's time to transition from a hard-working individual to a successful business owner and leader.

Your Problem. Our Solution.

I am a business woman first, creative second. I provide the essential clarity that transforms effort into enterprise success, using practical frameworks honed over 15 years as a corporate creative specialist and an award-winning business director.

I leverage the strategic framework that led Life Portraits to become a Telstra Business Awards Finalist and a recipient of the Lord Mayor's Women in Business Grant.

Let's scale your passion, unlock your value, and design your high-value, sustainable brand!
