YOU'RE HERE TO BUILD A BUSINESS + LIFE YOU LOVE.
As a creative entrepreneur or business owner, you’ve made the bold choice to strike out on your own, do something uniquely you, and aim to build the kind of work and life that you are in control of.
No matter what you sell, creative business owners like you share a dream that often looks like this:
No matter what you sell, creative business owners like you share a dream that often looks like this:
- You want to do the work you want when you want, and with or for the people you want.
- And you want to feel guiltless about that discernment in how you spend your time and energy.
- You want your business to grow and thrive, even while you position yourself to do just the work you most want to do.
- You want that business to afford you the freedom to live your life.
- And you want to be paid well to do the work you’ve chosen to do.
But most of all, you want to feel confident, in control, and clear in your decisions and in your path.
Well boss, that is all possible, if you practice the right mindset, create the right boundaries, and navigate the careful juggle of taking care of yourself and taking care of business.

HELLO, I'M EMILY.
... and I know a thing or two about navigating building a life as a creative business owner. I have been a business owner for over 15 years, and have spent the last 10 years guiding creatives down the path of entrepreneurship.
I started the Being Boss podcast in 2015 to share my journey, insights, and inspiration with other creatives, which has received over 11 million downloads. In 2018, I co-authored the book Being Boss: Take Control of Your Work and Live Life on Your Own Terms, published by Running Press.
Today I continue my work with creative entrepreneurs here at Being Boss, as well as run Almanac Supply Co., an online and brick-and-mortar retail store. I love business. But I also love my life, and I do all of this while still making time to be with my family, hike, and enjoy my favorite state of being: front porch sitting.
I want to help you find your version of success, too. Which is why I created...

WHAT BOSSES ARE SAYING
I feel confident, moving forward, that I have the tools to get back on track with my business and truly flourish in my skills and client projects.
I have grown a lot in understanding the true work/life blend that works for ME, moving away from any "shoulds" or business blueprints.
After completing the workbook, I feel confident in who I am as a business owner and as an individual. I already get more done without feeling drained.
I feel a lot more confident in where I can focus my time, energy, and skills to help my business grow and how to share my vision with the people who will help me along the way.
Going through this workbook really helped me gain the clarity, mindset, and boundaries I needed to have confidence and clear direction in my business again.
It's not easy being a boss and it can feel at times lonely and messy.
The questions and topics have stayed with me, challenged and inspired me, until I'm ready for more.
