Brace yourself for a transformative journey with our special guest, Mark Steadman, the mastermind behind Creative Workflows. Together, we'll explore the labyrinth of the creative process, highlighting the challenges faced by creative entrepreneurs and shedding light on how they can thrive sustainably. You'll learn how to leverage your inherent creativity to manage your business, and how technology can be a valuable ally in this endeavor. We'll also underline the importance of carving out time for planning, organizing, and immersing in what truly fuels our passion - our craft.

Curious about how a bullet journal could be your ultimate mindfulness tool? We'll show you how this ingenious method can help you bring order to unstructured information. You'll understand why a robust system is the lifeline of creativity, and how it can catapult creative entrepreneurs towards an organized and productive state. We’ll also discuss the power of structured systems to expedite task-switching, helping you make the most out of your precious time and energy.

Finally, we'll guide you towards building a system for organizing and storing creativity-related knowledge. Join us as we discuss Mark's experience with releasing music during the Internet’s nascent stage and how a centralized knowledge repository can be a game-changer. You'll learn about the surprising ways limitations can ignite creativity and how carving out time can amplify your creative prowess. You'll also gain insights into the role creativity plays in business and how you can leverage creative thinking to hone in on your customers' problems. This is an episode packed with practical insights to set your creative business on the path to success.

 You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time.
