Perspective Academy Nails It!

The value that Ross provides with his YouTube channel is amazing but the academy is a whole other level. I was at the beginning of my journey when I first joined. The knowledge and progress I have made with the help of Ross and the academy has more than paid for itself!

You learn a lot about establishing strong fundamentals and efficient processes for your business, which helps sustainable growth!

Some perks of being in the Academy would be the group video calls with Ross. During these, we can ask for advice or any questions about things we're facing in our businesses. Also, the private Facebook group has been a significant help, as we can ask other like-minded students about any problems we have or if we need some help with a shoot or even buying new equipment.

If you're on the fence about joining the Perspective Academy, I would say that you will reap the rewards when implementing the things you learn from the course and having a community to talk to that is in a similar position or a lot who are well ahead of the game will always share their expertise and keep you moving forward!

Just do it!

I've been on this course for around 6 months and haven't finished it due to being so busy because of what I was taught! I highly recommend anyone who is sitting on the fence to just do it and reap the rewards! Ross and his team have made it super easy and introduced us to many others who have made the leap and are part of a large community who all help and support each other!

Thank you Perspective Academy!

First of all I wanted to thank for Ross and his team for creating this amazing course. The Course goes through so many things, and allows you to build confidence in a range of different business areas. I love the first Topic on the course Creating Your Future on the course, which is all about building the correct mindset, it sets things going in the right direction. Since buying the course, Ross has also added some new videos adding to what is already there!

A quick note, that this course isn’t a technical skills video course (although there are a few well made videos on techniques) it is actually all about the business side of video, working with clients, building a team, pricing, and long term goals such as RCP’s so you know you have work each month, the freelancers dream.

There is also access to a Facebook group which has been beneficial to ask questions and test ideas in a group of like minded people. Ross also hosts a bi weekly live call which have been useful. I have only attended a couple of these, but both have been extremely useful!

And to top it off there are also a range of documents to download which include Business Documents, Legal Contracts, and the 30 day challenge document.

This course has been instrumental in gaining more bookings and communicating with both cold and and hot leads.

I will be setting time in the near future to watch the content again and reflect where I can improve my video business skills again.

Incredible Investment!

Possibly one of the best investments i ever made! Stocked with tonnes of value and insight, it is the perfect companion for filmmakers looking to refine and grow their business, as well as your craftsmanship. Not only when you enrol do you have access to a plethora of incredible content, you also join a great community of like-minded individuals on a similar journey to yourself. If you are on the fence, i highly recommend you jump the fence and take a trusted leap. I guarentee you will not be dissapointed.

You need this course!

I've come across and invested in a few different courses for my business and Perspective Academy was the only game changer! IMPACTFUL BUSINESS ADVICE for videographers. Not to mention all the other amazing lessons within the course. Anytime I have a question I no longer have to google it, I go back to the course and get a top quality solution! Love the course, easily one of the highest value investments I've made for my business!

Exactly what I need!

Exactly what I need! Many filmmaking courses focus on filming/editing skills and gear. I’ve been a freelancer for over a decade and I need business skills not technical skills. This is EXACTLY what Perspective Academy walks you though step by step. I really appreciate Ross starting with the foundation - your mindset, business model, core values, documents, processes. Everything that you need to build a sustainable business. That is what I am looking for. I’m tired of the feast to famine lifestyle of a freelancer and I needed help learning the skills that will take me from a solo freelancer mindset to a business owner. If you are looking to build a video production business - THIS IS THE COURSE TO TAKE!

Highly recommended

Highly recommended!

The topics are presented really well, the information is clear and easy to understand. He gives plenty of case studies and examples of the subject matter. The real “aha” moment for me was realising that its a community with regular video calls, you can ask Ross questions but also other people who might be slightly ahead of where you are. It’s a really exciting way to build a business!

Sitting on the fence? So was I.

I spent about 6 months deciding on whether I should make this commitment. But it’s really worth it. The value on offer is just amazing. Thanks Ross and all at the Perspective academy! Woohoo!

This course is absolutely amazing

This course is absolutely amazing. I have been part of other coaching programmes in USA, but they just did not take into account the culture difference and their methods just did not work for me. PA was a game changer for me. I have gone from struggling to get small projects, to closing £5.5K video deals in the nick of time. And that is not it, I got my ROI in the first month through the community - it has been amazing to connect with other UK video producers and work jointly on projects.

Couldn’t recommend this course enough

Couldn’t recommend this course enough. Before I purchased the course I was very apprehensive as it was a big investment to me and I’m sure a lot people thinking about investing are feeling the same way. 1 year down the line of purchasing the course, I can confidently say it is the best investment I have made so far in my journey. I’ve bought cameras, microphones, books etc. but nothing has provided more value to my business than this course. To me it has been a roadmap to a successful business and took me from being all over the place and not really sure where to start, to now feeling confident in my business journey and with a clear understanding of things it would have likely taken me years to understand without the academy. Would highly recommend to anyone who is serious about their video production company and is willing to put in the work.

Ross Welch's Perspective Academy course is a game changer…

Ross Welch's Perspective Academy course has reshaped how I approach my photography/videography business. Ross nails the challenges we face and offers huge value on building a successful business. The monthly retainer concept taught as part of the course is absolute gold for securing long term clients paying monthly, giving us predictability of income.

It hits all the key areas of finding clients, outreach, pitching, pricing, onboarding, the retainer model, client experience and much much more.

This is the course I've been looking for for a log time and I can't thank Ross enough for what he's put together in the course, and the way it's growing my business to new levels.

So far, so good!

So far, so good! I purchased the course a week ago and have been getting to grips with some of the modules. My biggest learn so far has been a mindset shift from freelancer to business owner and being brave enough to drop the projects/clients that I know will cause me pain in the long run, freeing up time to focus on the more serious clients who want to get the job done as much as I do! There's still so much to do on the course and I can't wait to get further in to it over the coming weeks. Thanks Ross and Team!

What I like about Ross Welch and…

What I like about Ross Welch and Perspective Academy is the detailed modules covering the business aspects of filmmaking. As a Filmmaker in the US the ideas in this course still apply to me. Ross seems very passionate and knowledgeable about what it takes to build a real production company. I've only been doing the course for 1 week but I feel like I've already made so many positive changes.
He really pushes you to take notes engage with the community and go all of the way in.
I've taken many courses in the past and Ross has a great ability to take you by the hand and walks you through each step.

Very worthwhile investment

Very worthwhile investment into yourself and your business.
I am a new student of the academy and I have already learnt how much a positive mindset and lifestyle change is needed to succeed. You are learning so many things that can make such a huge difference to your work.
The course offers so much content including helpful documents which save you allot of time and money, Live Q&A meetings and you are welcomed to a private FB group full of likeminded people also growing their businesses and implementing the things they've learnt in the course and from each other.

Defitnely give the course a go If you worry about where your next client is coming from or if you're afraid of having a quiet month. This course gives you the techniques and knowledge to have recurring clients and a steady income so you can concentrate on your business and not be stressed out all the time.

Go for it!

My journey with Perspective Academy has been incredible so far. I am 50% of the way through the course and have learned more over the last month or so than I have in years of business for myself. The documents have saved me so much headache and confusion - super grateful for that part of the course.

It has been so helpful and I only wish I would've found this program sooner. I definitely recommend taking this course with Ross if you want to learn how to do business the right way.

Try it out, nothing to loose.

So unfortunately I could not implement this course given my heath conditions. I explained this to Ross and he kindly refunded the money back. So there is nothing to loose if you want to try it out, there is a huge amount of information (I could not complete) that you can tailored depending your needs.

I love the course

I love the course.

My background is in photography. Video is currently the new venture, with a few live music events and a documentary film under my belt.

Ross is explaining the matter very clearly, giving practical advice around customer service, rates, processes. I'm making a lot of notes and using the handy documents to reflect and work on finance and planning.

The retainer is a simple but a genius concept and I look forward to finishing the course and get the ideas learnt into practice.

Best investment, made me feel empowered.

Great sidekick to my business

Having had mostly technical background in Films/ TV, Ross's course helped me find ways to enter in the industry as a business and develop strategies. I also found the Q/A sessions very valuable and encouraging.
