My secret to running a successful business? Absolutely nothing glamorous.
I'm carli anna
When other coaches are posting their "laptop lifestyle" from Bali, I'm over here eating the same breakfast every day (eggs, dates, flakey salt) with my giant cup of yerba mate. I film videos from my couch while my kids do whatever it is kids do when they're being suspiciously quiet.
I spend my money on practical things like my mortgage and bulk flour. My idea of excitement is having a really good profit margin. And somehow that's exactly what my clients need - someone who cuts through the nonsense and focuses on what actually works.
(If you're wondering what I do for fun - I'm either deep-diving into TikTok drama like it's my job or reading the same book for the third time because apparently I didn't catch all the details the first two times.)
My idea of an aesthetic workspace is wherever my laptop fits between the breakfast plates and whatever craft project has taken over the table
WORKING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE..
- Looking at your actual schedule and cutting out the tasks that aren't making you money or bringing you joy
- Receiving voice notes at random hours when I think of something that could help your specific situation
- Having me review your project scope alongside what you actually delivered and saying "Wait - you included 7 extra illustrations they never paid for. Let's fix that."
- Sending you a ready-to-use email template for telling that nightmare client "no, I won't do another round of revisions for free" without burning the bridge
- Texting me screenshots of clients agreeing to your higher prices (and me sending back way too many celebration emojis)
- Actually giving you a straight answer when you ask "is this a good idea?" instead of some vague "trust your intuition" nonsense
- Walking through your client process screen by screen to find exactly where people are dropping off or getting confused
- Writing your price increase email together and having me push you to add another 15% when I know you can get it

Aelin Galethineius is my queen
Started as a wedding invitation designer at 18 because I didn't want to go to school. Spent years figuring out how to actually make money as a creative without working myself to death.
Other designers kept asking how I was booking big clients and raising my prices, so I started sharing what worked. Turns out I had a knack for helping creative people make more money in a way that felt authentic to them.
I never set out to be a business coach - I just got tired of watching talented creatives struggle to make ends meet when their work deserved so much more. Now I build research-based programs that help people be profitable without following cookie-cutter advice that doesn't work for real people with real lives and take on clients only when I want.
The best part? I get to help people build businesses that fit their actual lives - not some fantasy version that requires them to hustle 24/7 or become someone they're not.
My philosphy
I help creative business owners build systems that attract clients and make money based on the quality of their work, not their ability to perform on social media. Simple, honest, and surprisingly effective.
