Creatives Ignite

Have you ever challenged yourself to a 30-day challenge? A 100-day challenge? How about a 365-day challenge?

What are you afraid of?

Do you know what it can do to your creative practice?

Do you have any idea what it can do to your speed?

One thing I can guarantee is that your confidence will change. You will grow. And you will see your practice grow.

This week we bring back Jeffy Thomas, a designer, illustrator, and architect who committed to a 365 project and finished this past weekend. He's going to share what it did that was unexpected and how he grew.

Episode 340. Aired Wednesday, April 15, 2020

POWERSTATION Mastermind Group: At Recharging You, we know that you want to be a focused, confident entrepreneur with clear direction. In order to do that, you need to get out of your head and learn from other creative entrepreneurs. The problem is you're a solopreneur with limited knowledge and experience on what your next steps need to be which makes you feel uncertain and alone. We believe every entrepreneur should be supported, challenged, and encouraged as they grow their business. I understand how overwhelming and demanding building a creative business can be because I have been growing my business for 17 years.

Here's how the group works: 1. I listen carefully to your goals and struggles 2. Work with you to identify patterns and unlock opportunities 3. I walk with you through this transformation and help you reach your business goals.

Are you taking advantage of your time and teaching yourself something new?

What strategies are you using to stay on top of changing technology and applications?

Who do you follow? Who do you invest in? And how do you vet them?

Want to hop on for a quick chat this Wednesday? I am opening up the floor and we will talk about learning online, new tools, Cancelcon.com, and how we are making it through this crazy time.

Learning and growing is part of the life of a designer, illustrator, creative, and entrepreneur. To stay in the industry we have to keep up. Another characteristic of a successful entrepreneur, designer, illustrator, or creative is to be able to pivot and flex. Adjusting when life throws us curveballs, or a curveball to the entire world.

If you are looking for accountability, brainstorming options and opportunities, and getting regular feedback from other creative entrepreneurs then consider joining the Master-mind style group led by me, called the PowerStation. Applications are now open. APPLY NOW: https://rechargingyou.com/coaching/powerstation/

Do you understand how to create a chemistry between you and the brands you work with?

Do you struggle to keep clients long-term?

Episode 334 Aired Tuesday, March 17, 2020

How important are side projects for your creativity?

How important are they to your client work?

Do they help you understand how to launch successfully for a client?

How do you find time to take on a large side project?

Do you give it priority over client projects?

Do you schedule time outside of your normal business hours to work on it?

Do you treat it like a client project and budget time for it in your day?

I believe that having an active side project list is extremely important to growing and getting the types of projects that you want. We will find out how the second book launch is going during the project's last few hours of it's kickstarter campaign.

Was this campaign different than the Chin Up Chinchilla campaign? If so how?

Do you avoid working on your business?

Is something holding you back from you reaching your goal?

Are you Afraid of Failure? Afraid of Success?

Do you plan time to work on future work?

Are you sitting on an accidental invention?

Do you ever avoid something, that probably should be fun, or at least will get you closer to the life you want to live, but maybe you are like me and AVOIDING it?

Can you SEE yourself living your dream life?

Aired March 11, 2020

I have a dream of having a small house in the mountains of Colorado. A stream or river is nearby. There are aspen trees all around and I see the backyard, no fences but that is because there is some acreage with it. I can visualize it, but thinking about getting enough money to be able to buy that place is a whole 'nother thing.

So I get stuck, I fill my plate. I avoid and then I run out of time to do the "me" work. The future work needed to do so I can live that life.

Am I afraid of Failure? Afraid of Success?
