Creative Business Rebellion: Anti-Strategy & Sorcery for a Wildly Successful Small Business

In this episode, I'm chatting with multi-passionate artist coach, Diane Foy.

You may have heard that you MUST choose a niche as a creative and you must only ever do ONE thing in order to be successful. Diane disagrees. Her refreshing perspective embraces the idea that creatives are multi-faceted and can bring more than one thing to the table.

Diane believes that artists have the power to change lives with their talent. Her mission is to educate, motivate and empower multi-passionate artists to embrace their authenticity, creativity, and purpose so that the world can experience that power.

Listen in to hear all about how you can flourish as a creative entrepreneur while embracing your multipassionate self.

In this episode, Jeff is back and we're breaking down how to outline your online course.

Last week we talked about narrowing in on your course topic, and this week's chat is the perfect follow up. It maps out the journey your students will take from where they are before they take your course, through to the transformation or acquired skillset.

In our free workshop next week, we'll be digging deeper into these topics and more to help you totally plan out your online course, so that all that's left to do is make it! And we'll help you with that too. All totally free.

The online learning market is growing rapidly and is on track to become a $375 billion a year industry within the next few years. Want a piece of that pie? We're going to help you get it.

In this episode, Amy is joined by fellow co-founder of Brioka, Jeff. They're sharing exactly how to choose a course topic that you'll love teaching and that will attract students (even if there's already lots of "free" content on the subject out there).

Amy and Jeff are talking about:

👉 How to choose something you both love and know

👉 That you don't have to be the top authority or most knowledgeable expert on the subject to teach effectively

👉 The difference between paid courses and free tutorials, and why you shouldn't let those free tutorials hold you back from creating a course on your chosen topic

👉 How to hone in on a topic that is both wanted and needed by the community you'll be teaching

Happy New Year! In this episode, Amy talks about goal setting for your boldest year yet in your creative business. And "bold" might not be quite what you think…

From small, meaningful goals to big, bold goals, now is a great time to reflect on the year ahead and what you want and need from it; for your life, your business, and your creativity. Amy talks about goal setting and breaking those goals down into manageable chunks, being adaptable and flexible in those goals while keeping your eyes on the big picture, and how to set and live by your "word of the year."

And if you're just not really feeling in a place where you want to set big goals or declare a "word of the year", Amy shares that she too feels that way and why that is perfectly okay.

In this episode, I'm revisiting one of my most-listened-to episodes: Leaving a Day Job.

In Leaving a Day Job, I share the story of how I walked away from a day job for the last time exactly 5 years ago to the day. With no savings, no prospects, and no activity in my business for months, I took a major risk - and it paid off BIG TIME.

From the final straw to the tears that led to my breakthrough and everything that came afterwards, I'm sharing my story as well as concrete advice on how you can leave your day job and take your creative business full-time too.

In this episode of Bold Company, Amy and Jeff are talking about how you can add more profit and income to your creative business without creating more work for yourself.

Scalable income comes in many forms, and they can provide more stable, consistent, and sustainable income for creative businesses. But are they really worth it? Does it really require no additional work? And what exactly can you do to add scalable income to your business?

We answer all of these questions and more in this episode, including how to add a stream of scalable income to your business easily and investment-free with our new company, Brioka.

In this episode, I'm speaking with creative business and jewelry maker, Amanda Sampson.

Amanda started her jewelry business in 2019, growing it continuously as a side hustle until COVID-19 forced the closure of her restaurant. Amanda threw herself full-time into her jewelry business, Night Moves Atelier, which developed a passionate fan-following and landed a spot in a show for emerging designers at New York Fashion Week in 2021.

Listen in as Amanda talks about her business journey, the challenges, triumphs, and realities of running a creative business, and how showing at New York Fashion Week impacted her small business.

Things you might hear…

"Your community that you foster with your brand? They are everything."

"You need to be constantly in reflection of what you're bringing to the table."

"If you think of people as community it changes the perspective and changes that narrative."

"You can learn so much from other people, just chatting with them, if you let go of that fear of intimidation."

About Amanda

Amanda is the designer/maker/babe-in-chief of Night Moves Atelier. Night Moves Atelier designs colourful retro-inspired handmade polymer clay earrings and accessories for rad babes everywhere. What started in early 2019 as a creative side hustle quickly turned into a full-time career and passion.

Today, on this last day of the Cozy Creative, we’re talking about rest and planning in your business.

Rest provides opportunity for reflection. It allows space for inspiration. And gives us time to engage in the reasons WHY we work so hard - spend time with family, travel and explore, create with freedom for ourselves, whatever else is important to you. Work hard. Rest well.

Planning is the roadmap for your business. Mapping out your year ahead, setting goals with measurable outcomes, blocking off space for time off or working “on” your business instead of “in” your business, and being prepared to be flexible and adaptable are all keys to a successful year in business.

Today we are talking about reflection. Reflection is one of the most important practices we should include in our businesses. 

Reflection and evaluation of your creativity, your business, and your goals and how they fit into your is one of the most powerful things we can do as creative entrepreneurs. It empowers us with clarity, focus, and reaffirms that we're on the right track. And if, through our reflection, we find we're not, we can starts to right the course and make different decisions to help us get to where we want to be.
