As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, you're juggling revenue-generating client work, operations and administrative tasks, and your own creative projects. If you're finding yourself overwhelmed or distracted from all the multi-tasking, I'm offering a simple solution in today's episode.

Whether you’re writing for…

• Your business, marketing, and sales,
• Your clients, or
• Your soul...

There are some pretty distinct challenges that show up (hello resistance, writers’ block, perfectionism, procrastination, indecision, overwhelm 😱).

So, what does one DO with all of that?

That’s what I asked Laura Belgray this week on Creatives Making Money.

Laura Belgray, founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure, is a copywriting expert who helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.

In addition to online types, Laura’s list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV -- and don’t skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air.

Laura joined me on the Creatives Making Money show to share all about... 

• her journey as a writer-entrepreneur, 
• how she made her first million a bit later in life, and 
• what book is the right book to write first (plus more)

I think you’ll really enjoy this episode no matter what kind of writer or creator you are.

Writers should not be joining business masterminds. Period. End of sentence.

Everything that is built into a business mastermind experience is built in with the intention that you are putting all of your energy, your resources, your brain power, your creative juju into the business, into this one vehicle that you were creating and to go out into the world to make an impact to do the thing.

So what should writer-entrepreneurs do? That's what we're covering in today's episode.

If you’re a writer-entrepreneur, ready to grow your biz to multiple-6 figures while also getting your personal writing done, AND making an impact -- I created Craft + Cashflow for you. This creative leadership collective is the 12-month program that will help you implement the exact steps I took to grow from 6 to multi-6 figures, churn out writing work that got me attention and enthusiastic collaborators, and help me make a difference.

If you’re curious to learn more about this virtual group coaching program where you’ll get tons of personal attention, coaching, and strategy on your writing AND your biz (and even some energy work and healing), let’s talk. I’ve opened up a few times in my calendar for quick chats just for this. Head to creativesmakingmoney.com/chat to grab a time.

I hear from writer-entrepreneurs all the time.

They say they are struggling to create space for their writing EVEN IF they’ve invested lots of money into coaching programs to help them “get it done.”

They say they dream of making all their money from their writing, and slowly begin to resent their business.

They say they want to get their business to a “certain place” before they give their personal writing ANY love and attention.

And, I get it. 

When you’re NOT writing your thing, it can feel like you’re constantly behind and like you’ll never “get ahead.”

AND... it’s usually for one of FIVE simple reasons.

I’m diving into all of them on my latest episode of Creatives Making Money.

Here's the deal - you don't even have to be all that talented or amazing to make a lot of money as a copywriter or creative.

There are a lot of really talented women (and a some men) in my community who are not making the money that is reflective of the value that they're delivering because they're making up a story that they're not good enough to charge the money.

So in today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly why talent isn't what's really keeping you from building a successful copywriting business, and the shifts you actually need to make to make more money as a copywriter.
