Whether you are a beginner business owner or you’ve been doing this for a few years now, the main focus is always marketing, right?
How do I get more clients?
How do I create consistent income?
What marketing strategies should I be using?!
What the heck is a FUNNEL?
Don’t get me wrong - these things are suuuuper important and - spoiler alert - I’m going to be talking all about them over the next few months.
But you know what gets put on the backburner while marketing takes the spotlight?
How to actually work with these clients once you’ve booked them. How to be and look professional. How to give your clients a satisfying experience, not just a good end-result.
All too often, I see creatives become really good at marketing but leave the backend of their business a hot mess. This leads to:
Your client reading your messaging, feeling like you totally “get” them, setting up a consultation and excitedly booking you on the spot.
Then things start falling through the cracks. You feel stressed out. You miss deadlines. You forget tasks. Your client reminds you of things. You feel like an imposter.
Your client getting Buyers Remorse (aka. regretting their decision to hire you) because the process you’re taking them through is messy and amateurish. They think… “did I just hire an amateur?” Even worse - they sometimes think, “did I really pay a pro price for an amateur?!”
If this has you feeling a little nervous, don’t worry because there’s a simple solution:
Start using a project management tool with your clients!
A project management tool is a secure space online where you and the client can communicate, set deadlines, send files and feedback, create to-do lists, and even set email reminders! (So your clients are automatically reminded of things like when their homework is due.)
My favourite free project management tool?
Asana.
I’ve tried a lot of free project management tools but Asana has always been my favourite. You can even use it to manage other projects in your business, and use it with your team members or subcontractors!
To show you just how amazing Asana is, I’ve created a quick and easy beginner’s tutorial for you.

I also have a whooooole module on Asana inside my best-selling course, Organize & Automate™!

The course includes process templates for the web and graphic design process, the coaching process, the photography process, the video creation process, blog creation process and podcast creation process.
