EP 13: From Frazzled Freelancer to Calm CEO: Why a Done‑For‑You CRM Before the Holidays Changes Everything
Send us a text
The leaves didn’t show up for our annual color ride, and that strange, seasonless moment became the perfect mirror for what so many creatives feel right now: the holidays are sprinting toward us, and the business isn’t ready. We talk candidly about what “not ready” really looks like—manual replies, scattered notes, contract chasing, late‑night admin—and why the real cost isn’t just time, but the energy and confidence you forfeit week after week.
I share the shift I see when creatives move from panic to process with a done‑for‑you CRM setup in Dubsado or HoneyBook: warm instant replies, streamlined proposals and contracts, automatic invoices and reminders, and a client journey that feels intentional at every step. You’ll hear a detailed case study from a wedding photographer who went from sticky notes and burnout to doubling revenue, adding new offers, and actually enjoying weekends again. We also get practical about fit—who’s ready for a full build, who should start simpler—and we tackle the big objections: not being “techie,” fear of upkeep, and whether the investment pays off. Spoiler: one solid workflow and one or two extra bookings can change everything.
If you’re booking clients but living in your inbox, this conversation is your permission to stop duct taping and start designing how your business runs. The goal isn’t more hustle; it’s a system that remembers for you so you can lead, create, and live with more space. I’m holding just a couple of Done‑For‑You Dubsado setup spots before November 1 so we can both enjoy the holidays and you can start the new year with momentum. Ready to breathe again?
