## Resource

You want bigger clients… but you’re not operating like someone who can handle them. In Episode 46 of Season 6, ShySpeaks and Ron sit down with Briana Gallen, founder of Swank PR, to break down what it actually takes to run a high-level PR business after 18 years in the game. This episode is not theory. It’s not “motivation.” It’s real execution — from onboarding systems, to pricing structure, to pitching at scale, to managing client expectations. If you’re still freelancing without structure… if your income is inconsistent… if you want $30K–$40K clients… This episode shows you exactly what needs to change. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why High-Ticket Clients Require Structure (Not Just Talent) The Real PR Workflow (Step-by-Step) Why She Gets Paid 45 Days Ahead (And Why You Should Care) The Truth About PR: It’s NOT About Making You Money What “Media Ready” Actually Means Why Systems Beat Custom Work Every Time The Metrics That Actually Matter in PR Why Most Creatives Undervalue Their Work Why You Can’t Depend on One Client Quotable Moments “My job is visibility — not your revenue.” “If you want high-ticket clients, you need high-level systems.” “You plant seeds everywhere… they grow when they’re supposed to.” “You can’t depend on one client.” “If your cup is empty, you can’t serve anyone.” “Not everyone is meant to be a CEO — and that’s okay.” Connect with MMCB: Podcast (Apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/minding-my-creative-business-podcast/id1724893043 Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/1Uo7amHW0dR2tBd3gMgOV4?si=511ddd99b115418b YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mindingmycreativebusiness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindingmycreativebusiness Website: www.mmcbpocast.com You Have the Creativity.
