Your Creative Business Map: Why Knowing Your Destination Isn’t Enough

Navigating Your Creative Business Journey

In this episode of The Textile Creative Podcast, Virginia Wygal addresses the overwhelm that many creative entrepreneurs feel when building their businesses.

Virginia shares personal experiences and practical steps to help break down big visions into manageable milestones. The episode emphasizes the importance of checking your progress, trusting the process, and staying focused on the immediate tasks at hand to move forward effectively.

Additionally, Virginia provides resources like her 'So Successful' ebook and workshop series to guide listeners in breaking down their business goals. The episode is designed to inspire and empower creative business owners to make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed by the larger vision.
