Let’s design a simple, consistent system to make your creative business work for you
“I honestly think EVERY small business should have access to this service, it's a game changer.”

Ease, freedom and joy in your creative business is possible
Despite what #hustleculture would have us believe, you don’t actually have to sacrifice your nights, weekends, creative projects, cocktails with mates, netflix chill time or family holidays to have a successful creative business.
You don’t have to be constantly working at max capacity to keep up with client work AND stay on top of all the behind-the-scenes stuff (that, let’s face it, you’d don’t love doing).
And you don’t have to be stuck with an out-of-control inbox, unmanageable project load and spiralling levels of chaos forever.
Consider this your official permission to imagine a different way to run your business.
A way that gives you the control and freedom to do work that you love on a schedule that suits your life.
A way that allows you to do your best work and create an amazing experience for your clients AND for you.
How do we do it?
We get you seriously sorted with a simple, consistent business system that’s designed specifically with YOU in mind
Get Seriously Sorted® isn’t about systemising, streamlining and automating all the personality and uniqueness out of your business. And it isn’t about applying cookie-cutter approaches to your one-of-a-kind creative services.
It’s about combining the powers of your creative brain and my organisational know-how to create a framework that’s the perfect fit for you.
It’s about making a solid plan so you know exactly what software, structures and support you need to free up your time, energy, brainspace and creative spark.
So you can feel energised, stop the procrastination and have more fun in your business.
“Lauren was able to understand my processes, systems and services. Identify where the wins were for me (not only in terms of profit but also for my own joy in running my business) and then help me to identify ways to make my business work more smoothly to allow those things to happen.”

“Lauren took the information that was sitting in my addled and overworked brain and translated it into an ordered step by step process that enabled myself and my team to deliver our new program within weeks.
The clarity I have on our systems that Lauren's work has delivered means that I can move forward into larger projects with confidence.”

I’m a process nerd…
Every creative entrepreneur can benefit from the help of a geeky process-driven wing woman to make their business truly awesome (as Monica Geller would say, “rules help control the fun”)
— ready for me to be yours?
“I loved being hands-on and working together to brainstorm. I loved that I felt heard and wasn't just told what I needed. I loved that it was flexible to accommodate my thoughts and ideas instead of 'what's best' based on previous experiences but 'what's best' based on me.
I also love that you share how jazzed you get by it all as it inspires me right back and gives me confidence that you're going to give me an amazing result which of course you do.”

Before you get any further, I want to be super clear
Get Seriously Sorted® gives you a snapshot of how things are working right now AND the plan to transform your business and change your life for the better (really and truly). But you still have to put the plans we make together into action.
“Ugh, Lauren can’t you do it ALL for me?”
Nope, and here’s why.
I’m almost certainly not the best fit (or the most cost effective option) to do it all for you.
No false modesty here! I do have excellent tech skills and am super savvy when it comes to software.
But my actual zone of genius is seeing how all the pieces of your business fit together and finding better ways to make it all work — not getting into the nitty gritty implementation stuff.
The good news
is that Get Seriously Sorted® pinpoints exactly where you need help in your business. So, when it comes to hiring someone in, you can make smart decisions about the best investment for your biz. AND you’ll have a brief on the work you need done plus all your processes mapped out and ready to share.
And just so you know, I also usually discover a whole bunch of simple tweaks and changes in Get Seriously Sorted® sessions that are easy for most biz owners to DIY (which means you don’t even need me!).
For the rest, I reckon it’s best you work with someone who’s really good at what they do and will nail it straight out of the gate. And I can help with that bit! I have a network of genius web designers, copywriters, VAs, bookkeepers and more, at the ready.
When we’re all done with Get Seriously Sorted®, I won’t leave you out there on your own. I’ll be checking in on you as you work through your plan to keep you accountable.
Stay Seriously Sorted®
All those amazing things you’ll start to experience when you start to feel in control of your business (possibly for the first time, ever)? Things like…
... working on projects you love on your own terms
... taking a holiday without worrying your business is going to fall to pieces while you’re away
… finally having the freedom, time and brain space to focus on creative side projects
I want you to keep all those things — for good.
After your Get Seriously Sorted® session you can get one-off or ongoing strategy sessions with me at any time to:
keep you accountable to your action plan
check in on where you’re at and how things are working
create new plans as your business grows and evolves
Have more questions?
+ How soon can we get started?
I usually have availability within 3 - 4 weeks. You can find (and book) your Get Seriously Sorted® spot here.
+ All of my clients and projects are different — can Get Seriously Sorted® still help make my life easier?
Short answer, yes!
Long answer, lot’s of my clients tell me they don’t think there’s anything in their business that can be systemised, and that’s exactly why they need me. I bring an outside perspective of the business from the customer’s journey, find the consistencies that clients just can’t see and can turn them into a creative advantage.
Even if every single one of your clients is different and each outcome is customised to them I will still be able to find a consistent framework that you can apply to save you time, energy and brainspace.
+ Can you help me set up the tech stuff and implement my action plan?
Not me personally, but I can help you find someone that can. I’ll include a list of recommended service providers with your action plan so you can find the perfect person to help with whatever your next steps are.
If you think you’d like some help keeping the momentum and staying accountable to your plan I recommend booking in some Stay Seriously Sorted® sessions with me to make sure you have the support to stay on track.
+ I’m only new to business, should I wait until I’m more set up to invest in my systems and processes?
I genuinely believe that investing in systems and processes right from the get go is a smart move if you want to grow your business in a sustainable way that also feels good. Systems will help you work smarter, avoid overwhelm and burnout, and grow your business with more ease. Things might change, but they always do, no matter how long you’ve been operating. And the skills, tools and insight you gain now will be put to good use as your business evolves.
+ Do you work with businesses overseas?
I surely do! I'm located in Australia. When you book, you will see an option for International clients. So if you are outside of Australian timezones then please select the International option. If you're outside of Australia but within a similar time zone (GMT +8 through to GMT +13) you won't have to use the International option, you'll find suitable times within the Australian option.
+ Do you offer a payment plan?
Yep! Given that this service is fulfilled in an intensive/single session format, the payment plan needs to be paid off prior to the Seriously Sorted strategy session. You can book with a payment plan here.
+ Are there any terms & conditions I shoud know about?
Why yes, I'm glad you asked! You can access the Client Agreement here, and you will be asked to acknowledge the T&C's when booking your session. The Client Agreement is in place to formalise and help us both navigate our working relationship.
