Solutions that make the Difference in your Business
"So You Can Do What You Love — We'll Handle the Rest."
Business coaching, planning, and organization for creative entrepreneurs.
What is holding your business back?
Most small business owners are juggling a lot — and it’s easy to feel stuck. If you’ve been working hard but not seeing the results you want, you’re not alone. Here are three common challenges business owners bring to our coaching sessions:
“I’m Doing Everything — and It’s Burning Me Out.”
You're the marketer, the manager, the service provider, the bookkeeper… and it’s exhausting. You started your business for freedom, but now you’re drowning in to-do lists.
👉 You need systems, delegation, and better time use.
“I Don’t Have a Clear Plan — I’m Just Making It Up as I Go.”
You’re great at your service or product, but the behind-the-scenes business stuff? Not so much. It’s hard to grow when you’re stuck in reaction mode.
👉 You need a real strategy and step-by-step goals that make sense for your business.
“I Know I Need to Market My Business… But I Don’t Know Where to Start.”
Instagram, SEO, emails, funnels — the options are overwhelming. You’re not a marketer, but you know you need to show up online if you want to grow.
👉 You need a simple, tailored plan that works for your business and your bandwidth.

TESTIMONIALS
“
"Working with Creative Folks Business Solutions was such a big help when I was trying to get my graphic design business started. Deana helped me figure out how to work with clients - beginning with the first message all the way through to delivering the final product. She guided me through things like creating an intake form, setting up a service agreement, and mapping out the whole process in a way that actually made sense and felt doable.
What I appreciated most was how supportive and practical she was in her approach. She really listened and gave advice that felt like it was made for me, not just some generic business advice. It was so reassuring to have someone walk me through those early steps without making it feel overwhelming.
Everything she helped me set up gave me a solid foundation and way more confidence. If you're starting something of your own and want someone who’s both sincere and kind, I most definitely recommend working with her."
