A NOTE FROM
THE AUTHOR
WELCOME, FELLOW BIZ SISTER.
I totally get it. I was soooo nervous the first time that a client hired me to
work with them. I had already spent years learning everything possible
about being the most effective coach I could. And wanted more than
anything to make a difference in their lives. But shortly after those first few
sessions, I realized that something vital was missing. The work we were
doing during the sessions, just wasn't enough. That's when I discovered
that my coaching couldn't just stop at the end of each appointment. It
had to be something that they took with them into the the rest of their
lives. Which is why I began creating workbooks and journal pages for my
clients. You see, we both know that questions invite revelation. But most
coaches get stuck with the belief that we have to be there, in person, to
make a difference. But the truth is, that all it takes is a journal, a pen and
the right question to completely transform someone's life. In this step-by-
step guide, I'll teach you exactly how to create the perfect workbook for
your client. So that you can make a difference in their lives, even when
you're not right there. It's actually much more simple, then you might
think. All you need is an open mind, an open heart and a desire to help
your client grow, transform and heal their life. So what are you waiting for?
Let's dive in straight away so you can share your workbook today. And
then they can rave about how AMAZING you are to all their friends.
Ready!? Let's go! I can't wait to see what you create.

CHAPTER ONE
- PLANNING OUT YOUR WORKBOOK -
SO SIMPLE, EVEN YOU CAN DO IT.
I know that it could be daunting when you first look at your

template. But worry not! I've got you covered. Because here's the
thing. Instead of you trying to figure it out on your own, you have all
of my years of experience (and mistakes!) to learn from along the
way. Planning your workbook will be so effortless that you can
literally sit down with a cup of tea and nibble on a chocolate cookie
and still get it done.
On the next few pages I'll guide you through a few short questions
that will help you create your workbook in half the time. So before
we dive in, I want you to close your eyes for a moment and take a
deep breath. Remember that you are here for a reason. And the
people who you are meant to work with? They're waiting for you to
show up.
Even when it feels scary or difficult at times. The work you do is

powerful, purposeful and needed in this world. Especially when so
many people are in pain. This workbook is only just a small part of
what you do, but has the ability to completely transform many lives.
Think about it. Imagine how it will feel when you finally send your
finished workbook to your clients or even out to your subscribers as a
gift. And each of those people print it out, get themselves a coffee
and sit down to fill in the questions that you asked.
Now, you're not just helping one person, at one time. Burning
yourself out along the way. You're changing ALL of their lives, one
question at a time.

CHAPTER TWO
- ADDING YOUR OWN BRAND COLOURS -
COLOURS, MAKE IT COME TO LIFE
This is going to be the simplest step in the entire process. Seriously. I

can't even hold back my excitement when I tell you this. Because,
when I made my first workbook for a client, I spent HOURS trying to
figure out how to add my brand colours to each and every page.
And then you know what happened next? If I decided to change the
colour, I would have to spend a few more days changing it again.
It was exhausting, to say the least. But it was worth it. Because I
wanted my clients to feel cared for. Not like I just through a few
words down onto a word doc and pressed send.
I wanted them to be able to print their workbook and feel loved,

appreciated and taken care of.
Because I know that they are always taking care of everyone else in
their life. The time that they spend with me and using my workbook?
That's precious time, just for them.
To learn. To explore. To heal. To transform.
And the colour on the pages? That's what makes it come to life.

ADDING YOUR BRAND COLOURS

colour you like.

CHAPTER THREE
- ADDING YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHY -
SHOW THEM, WHO YOU REALLY ARE
Sometimes, words just aren't enough. Which is why I love to add

photos to everything that I create. Since this template is designed to
be printed, there aren't hundreds of photos. But there are just
enough images to make your workbook beautiful.
Using your own brand photos to your workbook instantly adds

credibility and brand loyalty. Because your clients will be seeing you
and your branding, every single time they use it. Most people will
skip this step. But you know what? Those of you who decide to use
your own brand and photos will stand out from the crowd.
You don't even need to hire a professional photographer at first.

Although professional photos are best. Even if you can find some of
your best instagram photos or profile images (the one's that
everyone love!) and include them on the pages - it makes a huge
difference.
When deciding which photos to include in your workbook,

remember to keep them simple and on brand. Decide how you
want your client to "feel" when they use it and then choose photos
that evoke that emotion.
If you're a health coach, choose photos that show you and your
healthy lifestyle. Instead of leaving the pages blank, make your
workbook unique to you and your programs. So that it's not only
transformative, but helps them fall in love with you at the same time.

ADDING YOUR OWN PHOTOS

page.

CHAPTER FOUR
- ADDING STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY -
DON'T HAVE YOUR OWN IMAGES?
Neither did I! Especially when I was just starting my business. In fact,

I didn't even know where to find them or what to look for.
It was so hard for me to create workbooks for my clients in the first

place. But finding the perfect photos to use? That just added to my
stress. And that is exactly what I didn't need in my already hectic life.
At first, I did what most people do. I thought that I could just search
on Google images, and use any photo that I found.
But I quickly discovered, that is actually NOT a good way to do

things. Because most of those photos are actually illegal to use.
Especially for business!
And if I had just used the photos I found anywhere online? I could be
sued or have to pay penalties for my mistake.
There had to be a better way. And there was. Luckily, Canva provides
a huge library of photos you can use. Most are free. Some photos you
pay a small fee to use.
And if you can't find them there? You can use Royalty Free websites
like pexels.com, unsplash.com or pixabay.com instead. They provide
beautiful, high quality photos you can use on your website, social
media and even in your workbook. 100% for free!

ADDING STOCK PHOTOS
This should literally be the Step 1 Step 2

CHAPTER FIVE
- CHANGING TITLES, SUBTITLES & TEXT -
JUST THE RIGHT QUESTIONS...
This next step is going to be a whole lot easier for you than it was for
me. Because you've already done all of the hard work of planning
and adding your branding to your workbook.
Now all you have to do is add your own words onto the pages.
Simple as that. But before you begin, I want you to check in with
yourself.
Why are you creating this workbook? I mean what's your big WHY?
The reason you started in the first place is going to get you to the
finish line. Even when you feel like quitting.
So think of all the people who you're going to be able to help, once
you've finally shared your workbook with them.
Got it? Good. Now go back and find your answers to the questions I
asked in step one. This is going to be your outline for where to put
your questions and in what order.
Start with you title page and introduction. What is this workbook
going to be called? And what do you want your client to know about
it?
Once you've finished these two main pages, you can edit it, one
section at a time. Starting with the title, subtitle, intro and then each
question page.

CHAPTER SIX
- ADDING, MOVING & REMOVING PAGES -
A LITTLE OF THIS, A WHOLE LOT OF THAT
If you've made it this far, then you deserve a prize. And I mean that!
Because you're well on your way to creating the perfect workbook
for the client of your dreams.
And it's just a matter of time before it's ready to share! So hold onto
your chai tea ladies, we're almost there.
In order to create your workbook "Sections" you will need to arrange

the pages needed for each. Your template has a variety of "Page"
variations that can been used once, multiple times or not at all.
So you in this step, you will be going through and choosing which
pages you want to use in each section.
How will you know which pages to use? Go back to your answers
from step one, and check out what questions go on each page.
If you are asking simple, short questions. Then use the appropriate
"Page". Once you have created your sections, moved your pages into
place and added your questions - then you can delete any unused
pages off of your template.
Oh yeah. And then? All you need to do is give it a quick once-over for
any mistakes or remove duplicate pages and your pretty much done!

CHAPTER SEVEN
- DOWNLOADING, SAVING & PRINTING -
NOW, WHAT THE HECK DO I DO?
Congratulations! You've finally finished your very first workbook. But

how the heck do you get it from Canva onto your computer?
Here's a quick tip for you before we go any further!
There is a button at the top of your screen that says "Share".

Although you can use this to share your workbook. It's not the best
way. And will actually make it harder for your clients to use.
A much better way is to download your completed workbook as a

PDF, save it to your computer and then send it to them that way.
This will keep your workbook safe from being shared to people who
did not purchase it or who are not your clients.
And is the easiest way to print it out using a printer at home.
Your clients will be so grateful that you took the time to create a
workbook that they can easily print and fill out.
Because instead of spending all their time trying to figure out the
tech, they'll answering YOUR questions that will open up doors
where there once was only walls.

SAVING & PRINTING YOUR WORKBOOK

CHAPTER EIGHT
- UPLOADING, SENDING AND SHARING -
PUT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD!
Now that you've put all that hard work into planning, editing,
creating and completing your workbook. Next comes one of the
biggest challenges in an entrepreneurs life.
Putting. Themselves. Out. There.
Yep. I can't tell you how many times I spent hours, days and even
weeks on something for my clients. That ended up getting lost in a
folder on my computer. Never to be seen again.
*Queue sad music*
But that doesn't have to happen to you.
Your workbook can live a long, healthy and meaningful life, out in
the real world. It just take a few really easy steps and some pixie dust.
Oh whoops. Courage. I meant, it takes courage.
So are you ready to stop hiding and finally share your workbook with
those who need it the most?
I'm glad. Because if you've made it this far and decided to quit your
business and get a "real" job instead.
Then I'm just not sure what else I can do. But for the rest of you who
are ready to spread your wings and give your clients the best
possible experience possible, then let's do this!
