How to Book Dream Clients Without Doing Everything & Burning Out
You don’t need to be everywhere, say everything, or do all the things to attract your dream clients!In this episode, I’m talking about why doing more can actually make it harder for the right clients to find and connect with you - and how clarity, intention, and simplicity can completely shift the way you show up and get booked.This is a gentle mindset reframe and a practical reminder: if you’ve been spreading yourself too thin, that might be the reason you’re feeling burnt out and attracting the wrong clients (ones who don’t want to pay your prices, aren’t aligned with your process, or just don’t light you up).Hope you enjoy this one! I'll be back this time next week with another 🥰Follow me on Instagram: @gattocreativementor Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why I Don’t Launch My Creative Services
You don’t have to launch your creative services to be fully booked.In today’s episode, I’m sharing the real reason I don’t launch my design studio services - and what I do instead to keep my calendar consistently booked with dreamy clients (without the panic or pressure).Because while launches can work, they’re not the only way - and they’re definitely not the most peaceful way for everyone. I’ve found a strategy that supports my energy, gives me flexibility, and doesn’t rely on short bursts of visibility or sales.This episode is a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to build your business differently - even if it goes against the usual advice.Hope this one gives you permission to make your business your own 🧡 I’ll be back next week with more!Want to find more?

The Creatives Who Got Booked Up Peacefully - Group Panel Replay
Today I'm sharing something a little different - the replay of my recent panel with fellow creative service providers - The Creatives Who Got Booked Up Peacefully!In this live panel, I sat down with three amazing BNB members to have a real, honest chat about what it actually takes to build a booked-up creative business that feels calm and sustainable.We covered it all - from what their businesses looked like before, to the turning points that helped them move away from burnout and feast & famine cycles, to what life looks like now with more peace and consistency.Here are just some of the things we talked about:The struggles of balancing client work with everything else in businessWhy peace isn’t just “nice to have” but the foundation for growth and consistencyThe rebrands that helped them call in dreamier clients and clearer positioningHow raising prices (and shifting offers) became a natural part of building a more sustainable businessWhat “peaceful” means for each of them - and how different that can look from person to personThis was an open, supportive conversation about the highs and lows of running a creative business and the real shifts that helped these creatives get booked up peacefully.Booked Not Busy is open for early birds this week!
