From Overworked to Booked Up Peacefully: Real Creative Business Stories

What does getting booked up peacefully ACTUALLY look like when you're running a creative business? Not just having a lovely full calendar, but booking dream clients, feeling confident in your expertise, making good money from your work and having enough space to enjoy your business (and your actual life!) at the same time. Well, I thought it might be nice for you to hear from some people who aren't me for a change 😂 In this video, I'm joined by some of the lovely creative business owners who've been through my group mentoring program, Booked Not Busy, to share their experiences of building more peaceful, booked-up businesses. Check them out: Charlotte: https://www.coppermoth.co/ Soph: https://zosiaatelier.com/ Alice: https://www.aliceperrydesigns.com/ And rather than me telling you what's possible, they're sharing their own stories. We're talking about: ✨ What their businesses looked and felt like before joining Booked Not Busy ✨ The challenges they were facing with bookings, confidence, pricing and workload ✨ What they changed about their positioning, offers and processes ✨ How they started attracting and booking more of their dream clients ✨ The difference between simply being busy and getting booked up peacefully ✨ What changed about their confidence as creative experts ✨ And how their businesses feel now that they're working towards their own versions of success Because the thing I love most about these stories is that everybody's version of a brilliant business looks a little different. Some creatives want fewer, higher-value projects. Some want a steadier schedule. Some want more time with their families. Some want to feel more confident charging what their work is worth. And that's exactly how I think it should be. This conversation was originally recorded as a longer panel with Booked Not Busy members, and I've edited it down to share some of the most useful and interesting parts with you. If you're an established designer, copywriter, photographer, strategist or creative service provider who wants more consistent dream-client projects WITHOUT working more and more to get them, I hope hearing these stories gives you a little inspiration for what's possible in your own business. --- *💖 JOIN BOOKED NOT BUSY* Booked Not Busy is my group mentoring program for established creative service providers who want to get booked up peacefully for 2–3 months with dream clients, confident expert positioning and a business designed around their actual capacity, goals and life.
