Do you think you may have found your voice but you're just too close to the work to see it?

Or is it because you're emerging that you automatically assume you don't have a voice yet?

Could it be that your work needs a more consistent practice to fully develop into a unique + elevated offering?

Spoiler Alert: you might already have the answer on how to find your voice, but you're looking outside for reassurance and validation.

That's all fine and good as long as you also know how to trust your own intuition, and as a Coach I'll remind you to look inwards for your answer, like I did in my Creative Biz Coaching over Coffee session no. 2 with New Mexico Artist, Nara.

The doors to The Expansive Artists are re-opening for the first time this year, tomorrow Friday March 18.

Join the waitlist to know as soon as they re-open.

Do you feel conflicted about your dreams?

Do you find yourself second guessing your path, wondering if you're headed in the right direction?

Does the uncertainty of how it will all come together often affect your day to day progress?

When you're not feeling clear, there's a reason.

Tune in to learn what we uncovered with Hawaii based Artist Jesse Tepora around why she may be feeling a lack of clarity around her dreams.

Today's episode brings you our first Creative Business Coaching over Coffee session.

How do you know what to focus on when?

But what if I'm a creative free spirit and I don't like to be boxed into one style, theme, medium or project?

A little something I learned the hard way ~ (but you can learn it now!) unfortunately for us Free Spirits the "I don't want to be BOXED IN" approach is a no go strategy when it comes to having a thriving career as an Artist.

In today's episode I share how I choose my creative focus, and then prioritize the steps to make it happen!

Truth time. When it comes to selling your Art work, are you a hobbyist or a PRO?

Time and time again I see Artists with all levels of experience, struggle to build a successful business because they're focusing on the wrong priorities.

Your attitude informs how you approach building your business, and it can make all the difference in how profitable you are for the long game.

So today, let's talk about the 2 biggest business assets that most Artists overlook, why, and how to stop overlooking them ASAP!

Join me for Creative Business Coaching over Coffee, for the next 3 Thursdays LIVE over on Instagram @ 9 am PST.

What's my love of cooking a good meal + sourcing the majority of my food locally have to do with running my business?

After spending 3 days in a Mastermind surrounded by some amazing business owners - the kind who are "crushing it" daily, growing to 6, even 7 figures within one calendar year ~ the concept of the slow food movement popped into my mind.

As they vulnerably shared their experiences of what that kind of growth really meant for them, I came away from that gathering with a whole new insight and understanding around what I want for my business and how it can support the life I want ~ not the other way around.

Recognizing my date with burnout is coming dangerously close, if I don't make a change ~ this is the new approach to growing my business that I'm thinking about…

If overwhelm is being busy without priority, then confusion is not knowing what your priorities are.

Working backwards, that means that without clarity your days are driven by a state of confusion and overwhelm which is also what I call living on a hamster wheel.

The overwhelm never ends.

Since it doesn't look like the complexities of living a creative life + growing an online business are going to let up any time soon, or ever ~ it's up to us!

Have you ever thought you were clear on your "priorities" only to realize that something else always comes first?

And is what comes first, something you want or something for someone else?

This year I was introduced to one concept that was a huge wake-up call for me in terms of getting to the bottom of what matters most to me - not anyone else.

Continuing on in our first of the year mini planning series, in today's episode I'm introducing you to a simple exercise to help you understand why you may be letting everything and everyone else be the priority ~ and how to begin staying in integrity with yourself and what you value most.
