Ever feel like your brain is overflowing with business ideas, but you don’t know which one to start? You’re not alone. Creative entrepreneurs often struggle with idea overwhelm, and it can make starting a business feel impossible.

In this video, I show how to stop spinning your wheels and actually start your creative business. You’ll learn how to narrow down your ideas, test and validate them fast, and pick one to commit to, even if you have a million business ideas buzzing in your head.

Most people who start successful creative businesses are already doing something they love without realizing it. By learning how to validate a business idea and focus on one at a time, you can finally move past overwhelm and start making real progress.

Take one small step today, whether that’s writing a plan, talking to a potential customer, or just choosing which idea to focus on first. Progress beats perfection, and starting your creative business now is the only way to see results.

If you’re ready to go further, grab our free Daydream to Doing (Without the Corporate B.S.) checklist. You’ll see really fast if you’re ready to leave your 9-5 or not, and if not what steps you need to take before you do.

If you’re waiting to feel “ready,” you might be waiting forever.

In this episode, we’re pulling apart the lies that keep creative people stuck—like the myth that you need unshakable confidence or a million certifications before you can get started. Spoiler: you don’t.

We’ll talk about why feeling unqualified is normal (and actually a sign you care), how to separate comparison from reality, and what to do when your brain says “you’re not ready.”

Because confidence isn’t the starting point. It’s the result of doing the thing.

If someone opened a business down the street selling the exact same thing as you, would you feel confident, or panicked?

🎙️ We cover:

• Why branding matters more than your pricing or product

• How to stand out, even when others offer the same thing

• The mindset shift that keeps your business unbothered and booked

Let them copy. You’re built different.

EP. 16 - You’re Not Lazy or Broken — You Might Just Be an Entrepreneur
The Dork Table Podcast

You’re not crazy for daydreaming at your desk.
You’re not lazy for feeling bored at your job.
You’re not broken — you might just be built for something different.

In this episode of The Dork Table, we’re getting real about that restless feeling you’ve been ignoring. You know the one — where your 9-5 feels like a cage, your ideas feel too big for your role, and you’re secretly Googling “how to quit my job” at 2AM.

We’ll unpack:

• The subtle signs your job isn’t aligned anymore

• The gut-check questions to help you figure out what’s next

• Why that feeling of being “stuck” is actually a signal

• How to start building your brand without quitting your job tomorrow

Plus, we’re sharing a personal story to show you how messy — and worth it — this journey can be.
