In this episode we discuss the realities of comparison and competition and give some concrete tips on how to get out of a negative spiral as a result of comparing or competing with others. With personal examples and stories, we also give our experiences being in the creative field and how it’s almost impossible to never compare your work to your neighbour.

It’s never easy to put yourself out there and to step out of your comfort zone, but the reward of doing so can be greater than you even imagine. Hosting workshops already at an early stage helped us to realise our potential and to motivate us to continue in our work.

The online world is constantly updating, which forces you to at least take note and reflect on how you can adapt to the new updates. This is especially important when you are dependent on big platforms such as Instagram or Etsy. In this episode we discuss why it is essential to have an updated homebase in the form of a website to able to be less dependent on big media, to better control your online presence and your business endeavours.

This week we are touching on a sensitive topic: Pricing. As a creative it is always difficult to know what to base our pricing on. How much to charge? What is too much, what is too little? How does the market look like?

We also discuss our new support service, where you are able to book a private idea-session with us. Pitch us your business plan and process and we are able to give you tricks and tools on how to develop further. Sometimes we all need someone who has experience from the field to bounce our ideas with, whether it be ways to increase passive income, improve social media marketing or perhaps build a good-looking website. If this sounds like something for you email: [email protected]

It is also the first week that we're introducing our amazing theme intro made by James Hawthorne https://www.instagram.com/banjo_jimmy/

This episode is dedicated to a reflective discussion around the idea and concept of influence. What is influence? What role does social media play and who is actually influencing who? To be an influencer is a popular title, but we rarely discuss what it entails and how those that aim to influence many times are being influenced the most…

What do you think?
