Are you struggling to run your copywriting business around your family?
Do you worry about too much screen time… or (gasp) future therapy bills because you’re meeting deadlines rather than taking your kids to the park?
It’s easy to trowel guilt on ourselves when we see copywriters running 6 or 7 figure businesses. Or landing 5 figure projects.
What are we doing with our lives? Are we ruining our children trying to grow our copywriting businesses? Are we just THE WORST?

We went to a copywriting conference in New York City in March 2019. It was Brooklyn but let’s not facts spoil the glamour.
It was TCC IRL (The Copywriter Club In Real Life) and while we had a BLAST hanging out together – you would be surprised how many years it’s been since we hung out in real life – we also took the chance to pick the brains of the speakers.
We asked as many speakers as we could grab in the breaks, “What is ONE THING you wish you’d know when you started your copywriting career.”
We didn’t tell anyone what the other tips were and every single person delivered something unique. And they are some stellar tips too.
This is your chance to grab a shortcut to the mindset and process tips these copywriters have gleaned over years and years of working the job.
Cool, huh?
