The Creative Biz Planner
I couldn’t find a planner that really understood how creatives think and work – so I made one.
This planner is designed specifically for people like us: artists, makers, and creators who need a way to stay organized without losing the creative spark.
This planner will guide you through the year, step by step, helping you reach your creative goals while managing the business side, without feeling overwhelmed. In fact, the pages will get your creative juices flowing and help you stay laser focused.
Hand drawn, made with love
Every page is written and hand drawn by me, Debbie. I’ve poured my heart and creativity into each design so that it’s inspiring for people who think in a more visual way.
And the systems inside aren’t just theory. They’re based on what I’ve used to grow multiple creative businesses from zero to over 75,000 sales, doing what I love.
You’re getting a planner built by someone who understands exactly what it takes to succeed as a creative entrepreneur.

Hello!
I’m Debbie Mansour, founder of Creative Biz Workbook, illustration artist, serial entrepreneur and a top 0.1% seller on Etsy.
Just like you, I once had a dream of starting my own business based on my creative passions.
It was quite the adventure.
In 2012, I left my job as a motion graphic designer for national television to follow my heart and live in the Egyptian Sinai desert with a guy I madly fell in love with during a solo travel to Egypt.
Determined to completely start my life over in the middle of nowhere, I started an online shop selling hand drawn patterns. In the same time, I started a team on Etsy discussing best marketing and selling practices with fellow creative business owners.
Fast forward to today: my businesses are still thriving and I am ranked amongst the top 0.1% of Etsy sellers worldwide.
The number of happy buyers I served totals over 75,000.
The team I launched has over 18,000 members today.
I’ve had the opportunity to inspire thousands of creatives, combining motivation and education to help them succeed.
Now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned and applied over the years through Creative Biz Workbook and the Creative Biz Planner.
Because if I can build a successful business in the middle of an Egyptian desert, I’m a 100% certain you can make your creative dreams a reality as well.
All it takes are a set of easy to follow systems I’ve crafted over the years presented in a way that fits your creative personality.
I believe everyone with a creative mindset deserves to live an abundant creative life and not stay stuck in a job that doesn’t really fit them.
With the right tools and guidance, anyone can make their creative dreams a reality.
That’s why I’m passionate about teaching, building a community and supporting you on your creative journey.
