they’re not really businesses.
they’re just bad jobs.

I’ve talked to a lot of creative entrepreneurs (including specifically wedding stationers) over the years, and I’ve been shocked to learn how many of them have businesses that look really good, but are actually just stressful jobs.

It’s like they traded in a 9-5 for an expensive, anxiety-inducing 24/7. There's a difference between running a successful business and just being a stressed artist for hire.

The Problem with Most Creative Businesses?

You Don't Have To:

work crazy hours with no end in sight
undercharge (or never find clients who see your value)
copy other artists because you don’t know your style
do everything yourself until you burn out
not know if you’re making a real profit
always feel disorganized
feel lost with social media

tired of vague business advice?

Get on a one hour Zoom call with me, the designer and founder of Gates Paper Co. On the call, I will get to know you and your goals, answer any questions you have, and provide guidance wherever you are in your business.

Topics I’ve covered on calls in the past:
  • Social Media Marketing
  • Finding your dream clients
  • What making a profit actually means 
  • A detailed breakdown of our process
  • Where we get our materials
  • Where to start
  • How to price yourself
  • Handling difficult client situations

Book Your Call

I learned (and am still learning) the hard way what works and what doesn’t, and now I want to help you skip the trial-and-error phase. Together, we’ll dive into both the creative and business sides, so you can build something that lasts, without sacrificing your passion.
