2016 Year in Review At Classy Career Girl - Classy Career Girl

2016 Year in Review At Classy Career Girl A year to remember. A little bit of a startup rollercoaster with plenty of ups and downs but we had fun so thats all that matters, right? This was a pretty big transitional year for us since we completely changed our business model. We are pretty glad to get a fresh start and move forward with a consistent business model that we absolutely love in 2017! 2016 Year in Review At Classy Career Girl January: We officially launched our self-study  online bootcamps. February: Anna stopped taking new individual clients in order to focus on taking on additional CEO responsibilities to create a more scalable company by the end of 2016. March: Classy Career Girl’s SIX Year Anniversary and 1,700 posts published. We attended Infusionsofts ICON event in Arizona where we hired a consultant to help us with our Infusionsoft marketing and email system. This really helped our company grow and scale this year and it was one of our best decisions of the year.
