125: What it Really Takes to go Full-Time with Calligraphy


Listen Later

The most HONEST student conversation I’ve ever had

Ever dreamed of leaving your job (where you feel seriously unappreciated) to build a business that truly lights you up? Sher did just that. She enrolled in our Pro Calligrapher Bundle with one goal in mind: to quit  teaching and become a full-time creative. But -cough- calligraphy is definitely NOT a get rich quick scheme, so the road has been full of challenges.

In this episode, we take an unflinching look at her 2.5-year journey:

  • What DIDN’T work (and where she lost money)
  • The specific resources and strategies that finally helped her find her footing
  • How she’s now charging premium rates (and getting YES from clients!)

This is a raw, real look at what it takes to build a life for yourself that’s outside the norm. Spoiler: It’s HARD but so worth it.
