ONCE UPON A TIME...
Maybe you're going through the same stages of business - with similar thoughts that I had:
- "Am I good enough?!"
- "How do people manage everything behind the scenes?"
- "I wish I had more time every day!! Wish I had a Time-Turner..."
But I know what's possible on the other end - I DID go full-time in my business just 11 months after I started, after all!
I know it's possible for you to triple your income & turn your passion into your dream job because I've done it! And I wholeheartedly believe that you have what it takes to do the same!
There was no ONE thing that led to my success - but I can tell you that building confidence through education and coaching was KEY!
Today my zone of genius looks more like equipping & encouraging creatives like you to become more confident behind your creative business!
I'm an open book with everything I've learned over the past few years as a wedding & creative business owner.
Whether it's empowering you with coaching, or helping you tackle your LR queue β I'm here to support you behind the scenes of your business from busy season to your next launch.
I solemnly swear to show up and support your business like it's my own.

MY *REALLY* OFFICIAL BIO - the TLDR; VERSION
I'm Manali, and I spend my time helping growing creative entrepreneurs become confident behind their business. My mission is to empower creatives to thrive with 1:1 business coaching, wedding editing, digital product management and systems-based education. I'm multi-passionate and here to help you grow a life & business full of freedom & fulfillment with a sustainable schedule. You can most often find me cuddling with Keegs π±, sipping a hazelnut cappuccino, on the river kayaking or enjoying a glass of wine with charcuterie around the Cincinnati/Covington area!
"She truly cares so much about your success as a business owner, and about your wellbeing as a person"
Being a creative entrepreneur can be very overwhelming. I let [Manali] know what my top 3 goals were for the upcoming quarter, along with my work hours and current workload.
She created a beautifully organized and detailed plan for me to follow each day. I was blown away by her ability to map it all out in a way that made each task feel simple and not overwhelming. She even sent me a detailed video, walking me through the plan. It's given me the accountability I needed to get things done! It feels so good to go into the next quarter in my business with a solid plan for my time and clear goals to accomplish.
So many times, I have said, "I wish someone would just tell me what to do next!" and now I have found someone who will do just that! Manali is so kind, helpful, and encouraging. She truly cares so much about your success as a business owner, and about your wellbeing as a person.
If you feel stuck in your business, she's the girl who will help you take the actions you need to get to where you want to go. I am so grateful for her, and I plan to use her services again and again! β€οΈ
Being a creative entrepreneur can be very overwhelming. There are so many things to accomplish, and so many different ways we could spend our precious time and energy. I let [Manali] know what my top 3 goals were for the upcoming quarter, along with my work hours and current workload.
She created a beautifully organized and detailed plan for me to follow each day. I was blown away by her ability to map it all out in a way that made each task feel simple and not overwhelming. She even sent me a detailed video, walking me through the plan. And having "due dates" on my tasks has given me the accountability I needed to get things done!

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF
I started photographing weddings 6 years ago & went full-time in my business within 1 year
I charged $600 for my first wedding and grew to photographing $5k+ weddings in just 2 years
I was a Computer Science + Cognitive Science double major so I learned all I know about business through coaching + education
I LOVE being an entrepreneur - I get to be equally creative and strategic. Plus it comes with travel perks π and daily cuddles with Keegs π±
