What if your middle school hobby suddenly became your real life job as an adult?

In this episode of Creative Business Real Talk, you’ll hear Mian’s powerful, non-linear journey.  From loving calligraphy as a kid, to building a word-of-mouth side hustle whilst working as a tax lawyer, to quitting for nearly 10 years to focus on her family and career and thinking she was done with calligraphy - Mian truly emulates the notion that once you learn calligraphy, you can always return to it. 

Join me as I learn how Mian came back to calligraphy stronger than ever with the help of our Pro Calligrapher Bundle & a few moments of positivity.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• (1:18) How Mian’s “fun hobby” side hustle began, and eventually got pushed to the backburner
• (4:45) How a pause in life opened the door to calligraphy again & saying “I’m a calligrapher” to a florist changed everything
• (9:59) How 1 second of courage can ignite a mountain of momentum (and saying “yes” can feed the fire)
• (16:17) Mian’s advice for anyone finding themselves in a similar situation
• (20:13) Takeaways and how saying “yes” to things scared can totally change the course of your life

If you’ve ever felt behind, not ready, or like you “missed your chance,” this episode will shift your perspective.

🎧 Listen now and see what can happen when you say “yes”, even before you feel 100% confident in your abilities.
