What’s the secret to building a million-dollar creative business? It’s not hustle…it’s focus.

In this episode of Creative Business Real Talk, I break down the real numbers behind my million-dollar course sales - and the sneaky way I kept sabotaging my own success. If you’ve ever felt pulled in a million directions, this is your permission to simplify, focus, and finally scale so you can start making profits!

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • (1:07) The math behind the $1 million - how many did I actually have to sell?
  • (6:12) The growth lesson - how sitting with the uncomfortable grows your business
  • (8:25) What’s actually going to move the needle in your business?
  • (9:20) Simple roadmap for calligraphers to succeed in their business - what skills really bring in revenue
  • (17:32) How to score deep discounts on my calligraphy courses (up to 50% off)

This episode is a must-listen if you’re a creative entrepreneur who’s ready to stop dragging their feet and start doubling down on what works.

💡 Bonus: Stay till the end to hear all the details about my upcoming Five Days of Deals event starting Nov 24, 2025 - featuring up to 50% off some of my signature courses!
