Running a creative business can feel like a lot

Maybe some of this feels familiar…

  • You have ideas, but struggle to turn them into action.
  • You feel overwhelmed by choices, advice, and what everyone else seems to be doing.
  • You’re scared of making a wrong decision, wasting money, or looking foolish.
  • You know you’re holding back or playing small, but, you can’t quite break the pattern.
  • You’re proud of what you’ve built so far, but you can feel there’s more in you than what’s showing up.
  • You really want someone to talk things through with, someone who gets it and won’t judge you.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. The vast majority of creative women I have conversations with would agree with at least half of these points, often all of them.

Most creative business owners are held back by mindset and self-belief long before the consider strategy. And this is exactly where things can shift, once we see what’s going on.

A different kind of business coaching

This isn’t pushy coaching, full of hustle or twelve-point plans you’ll forget by the end of the week.

It’s grounded support, a space for honest reflection, clear strategy, gentle accountability and a chance to build your business in a way that feels like you want it to – and maybe to be clear about what that actually is.

We look at two parts of your business, together and side-by-side.

Your mindset

Your fears, your stories, your patterns, your inner voice. We will challenge what’s limiting you and grow the parts of you that know you’re capable of more.

Your strategy

Your offers, your marketing, your clarity, your pricing. We will choose actions that work for your energy and personality, not what the internet gurus say you should be doing. We will work with your strengths and what you enjoy about building and creating a business and make sure you can be consistent and intentional to get the results that you want.

Both strategy and mindset matter. Mindset creates possibility and allows alignment between your values and your vision. Strategy gives it direction, creates action and momentum.

Together they shape a business you can build and succeed in.

The right fit for you

This coaching is a good fit if you…

  • Want clarity without someone telling you what you should do.
  • Crave a calmer, more intentional way of running your business.
  • Are tired of pushing, forcing, or second-guessing yourself.
  • Feel capable of more, but can’t quite access it alone.
  • Value honesty, gentleness, encouragement and grounded strategy.
  • Want a coach who understands both the emotional and practical sides of business.
  • Want to feel more confident, more focused, and more like yourself in your work.
  • Need a coach who understands highly sensitive, introverted brains.

If your body gave a little “yes” reading that, trust it.

Imagine having someone beside you for three months, someone who sees your potential clearly, who asks the right questions, who steadies your mindset, who gives you thoughtful, strategic guidance, and who gently keeps you taking the next aligned step. Whose only agenda is seeing you succeed. Who is at your fingertips four days of the week.

Imagine feeling clearer about where you’re going. Supported in what you’re doing. More confident in who you’re becoming. If that feels like something you want, we should talk.

Why work with me?

Because I bring a combination that most coaches don’t.

  • Over 30 years in marketing and communication
  • Over two decades of running my own businesses focused on marketing, branding and coaching
  • A trained coach since 2005, with IFA accredited training and a background in mentoring
  • Deep understanding of creative minds, cycles and fears
  • A values-led, grounded approach to growth
  • A strategic mind, that was born to have ideas and that can see patterns, opportunities and bring clarity quickly

This means you get practical strategy, ideas and direction and the mindset support that helps you implement it.

You get someone who understands the realities of creative business and freelance life, the self-doubt, the perfectionism, the fear of being seen, the desire to build something meaningful.

My clients come to me because they want to grow in a way that feels sustainable, personal and true to them. If that’s you, we’ll work well together.

What’s included in the 3-month coaching package

You will receive:

  • 6 x 60-minute coaching sessions on Zoom, spaced over 3 months.
  • WhatsApp and email support between sessions. Give me updates, ask questions, get quick advice and encouragement, Monday to Thursday.
  • Access to any tools and materials I have that I feel will be helpful.
  • Structure, support and momentum without the overwhelm.

Investment

£720.00. That’s it. Payment plans are available, and you can spread payments over up to 3 payments if you’d find that useful.

You can buy a six session package in my online shop if you’d like to use a debit or credit card and you can also do split payments in three using PayPal’s ‘Pay in Three’ plan.

You can also pay me via bank transfer if you prefer. Remember, coaching is a business expense and can be offset against your tax.

Do you need longer support?

If you already know you’d like a deeper container, I also offer 12 sessions for £1300.

Again, payment plans are available – email me at sarah@sarahraad.com to discuss this.

Ready to explore working together?

Let’s have a conversation. A discovery call with me isn’t a sales pitch, it’s a calm, honest 30-minute chat where you can share where you are, what feels difficult, and what you’d love to be different.

You can ask me anything. You can bring doubts, questions, or something you’d like coaching on.
There’s no pressure to commit and no judgment,  just a confidential space to talk through what you need.

If we’re a good fit, wonderful. If not, you’ll still leave with clarity about your next steps.

Let’s see what’s possible for your business…

Sarah was a God send. The community she created, the tools she provided and the accountability she set up was invaluable not only for the business but for life skills too. I highly recommend her as a coach.

Sarah is practical and ultra-supportive. She asks the questions that make you think differently and helped me take real ownership of the direction of my business. Over time, all the small changes I made have made a huge difference. Sarah is warm, intelligent, incredibly knowledgeable about business, marketing and mindset, and genuinely invested in helping you create positive change.

Jojo Hanks

I found Sarah at a time where I needed guidance in my business and wanted to belong to a community of like minded business founder/owners. I had 121 coaching where I felt seen, heard and listened to which lead to growth not only in my business but also personally too. I wouldn't be where I am today without Sarah's wisdom, epic sense of humour, her love of dogs and powerful coaching skills. Run don't walk people...

Sarah knows her stuff, is supportive and patient. I was a bit wobbly on starting out and she helped me focus and get clear on my objectives.

Thanks to Sarah, I’m on course for my most financially and creatively successful year yet, all while working far less hamster wheel hours. I very much suggest spending some time with her. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent and has already more than paid for itself. Invest in you: you are your biggest and brightest asset.

Well why not book a free Discovery Session to see if you like my approach.

If you’d like to book in with me afterwards, great – if not, no hard feelings at all.

Sarah is a magician. She pulls things out of you that you didn’t even know were there.
