For a lot of frum women, the dream is the same: do meaningful work, bring in real income, and still be home for the kids. The reality often looks different — endless hours at the laptop, answering client emails at all hours, and a business that takes over every corner of life.

Chava Shapiro knows that gap well. A copywriter, business mentor, and the founder of Show Me the Copy — a boutique copywriting and web agency — she built her multiple six-figure business while raising five boys, currently ranging from eight months to thirteen years old. “I traded a 9-to-5 for a 24-7,” she says of her early freelancing years. “On paper, things looked great. Behind the scenes, I was missing bedtimes and Sundays and running myself ragged.”

The turning point, she explains, wasn’t working harder. It was redesigning her business around her life instead of squeezing her life into the margins of her business. Over the past three years she has mentored more than 70 creatives, consultants, and service providers through her program, Creative CEO Academy, now heading into its fourth cohort.

A free three-part training
This month, Shapiro released a limited-time free three-part video series called the Presence and Profit Method, walking through the framework she used to grow her own income while working fewer hours.

The series is built for service providers who sell their expertise — consultants, coaches, copywriters, designers, marketers, strategists — who want to grow their income without their business swallowing their family time. While it was designed for moms by a mom, Shapiro notes the frameworks work for anyone protecting a full life outside of work.

Across the three videos, she covers:

The four stages of a service business — and why most get stuck at one level
Her “Lean CEO” model for growing income without growing hours
Positioning yourself so the right clients recognize you right away
Pricing your services around the value you bring
Seeing where your time really goes — and taking it back
A one-page profit roadmap, so you can see exactly what it takes to hit your goals

Participants also get a printable workbook and an interactive profit-roadmap tool. Shapiro is running a giveaway alongside the series: anyone who completes the roadmap and emails it to her with their biggest takeaway is entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

The bigger picture
Shapiro is quick to point out that the lean, family-friendly business isn’t some unicorn. Citing recent U.S. data, she notes that millions of one-person businesses are run by women — and a large share of those by mothers — many earning well into six figures with no employees or a lean team.

“Making money is nice,” she says, “but it’s meaningless if your business requires you to become a shell of yourself. Motherhood was the catalyst that forced me to build a business that actually works — and a business that works for a mom of five is a business that works, period.”

The free series is available now, with no purchase required to walk away with the workbook, the tools, and the full framework.

And for women ready to build their lean, profitable business with Shapiro in their corner, Creative CEO Academy — her 12-week accelerator — opens its annual enrollment June 9th.

For service providers wondering whether they really have to choose between building something of their own and being present for their families, Shapiro’s answer is a firm no — and she’s giving away the roadmap to prove it.
