Grab this Quickstart Guide to start using Dubsado or Honeybook today.
A podcast where you join me (Colie) as I chat about what it takes to grow a sustainable + profitable business.
CRM Guru, Family Filmmaker, and Host of the Business-First Creatives podcast. I help creative service providers grow and streamline their businesses using Dubsado, Honeybook, and Airtable.
I am very excited to share a conversation with one of my own clients today. Maddie Peschong is a fabulous brand photographer and business coach based in Sioux Falls, SD. While she has been a Dubsado user since 2017, she was using automated workflows in a very minimal way. Recently Maddie hired me to update her proposals and fully streamline + automate her workflows in a Dubado VIP Implementation Day.
Also, I was a guest on her podcast last month and that episode pairs perfectly with this one. Click HERE to listen to that conversation! Now, if you really want to know what it’s like to work with me or how my clients feel AFTER their VIP Day, tune in!

Colie’s Dubsado VIP Days
If she’s giving you her elevator pitch, she’d tell you she’s a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, brand photographer and educator for creative women.
If she’s giving you the girls-night-out over wine version:
She’s a photographer who went from busting her butt working nights and weekends to running a six-figure business that allows me all the time she needs to have mid-day dance parties in the kitchen with her kids or kick back on the couch and watch The Office with her husband.
You may be wondering – how did she do it? The short answer? By showing up and being herself.
She believes more than anything that this is the best way to build an irresistible brand and that it’s totally possible for you to do the same thing.
