You can start a business from anywhere, selling almost anything. And while these opportunities are no longer reserved for the 1%, being an entrepreneur tends to put a burden on our creative process, making us feel like we have to monetize everything we do. 

 

I invited my friend, Tasha L. Harrison, to the show to talk about how she defines creativity. Tasha is a romance and erotica author, freelance editor, and a creative entrepreneur dedicated to helping new and aspiring word makers become authors. With these titles, I assumed she has the key to unlocking creativity. And while she’s got some great tips, I learned that none of us are immune to the struggles that go along with putting our work out into the world.

 

In this episode we discuss:

• What it means to be creative;
• The need for enjoyment above productivity;
• Why you should be asking for feedback;
• How to test your ideas;
• Getting past the overwhelm of getting started; and
• Showing up and showing support to others.

 

And if you’re into Game of Thrones, yeah, we talk about that too.
