143: Your Counterintuitive Next Step Towards Pro Calligrapher


Listen Later

Rome wasn’t built in a day – and neither was any (decent) business.

It was built over thousands of tiny micro-decisions, leading to compounding effects that eventually became BIG. Gorgeous buildings, architecture that has inspired masses, and historical significance spanning centuries.

Likewise, when you’re establishing a business, you can’t just completely quit your job and start turning a profit if you haven’t already laid the groundwork. You have to consciously choose to show up every day and make those little movements that, over time, will set you up to take those big leaps of faith.

In this episode of “The Shinah Show”, I’m breaking down the real path to becoming a professional calligrapher – and I can assure you, it’s not glamorous, it’s not linear, and it’s not BIG and dramatic. I’m sharing with you:

  • The surprising link between babies and businesses 👶
  • “The Compound Effect” and why a thousand tiny, brave micro-decisions can move the needle more than one big decision
  • The real behind the scenes of my own journey, and how I left law one small step at a time
  • What actually gets you from hobbyist to pro

If you're a perfectionist stuck waiting for the "right time" or the "picture-perfect plan"… this episode will shake that mindset loose.
