Episode 26: Val Duvick of Val Marlene Creative
In this episode of the Empower Her Podcast I’m excited to welcome Val Duvick of Val Marlene Creative. Val is a business coach for female creative entrepreneurs and got her start as a small business owner herself. I learned so much from our chat together and know you will too. Key Takeaways
- Val has tried her hand at a variety of creative careers including floral design, wedding planning, and graphic design. This gives her a unique perspective when coaching creative business clients.
- Val is passionate about defining individual success. Although many creatives love wedding photography, Val realized it didn’t provide the balanced life she wanted. She took a chance on a Facebook ad and took a class to learn how to start her own coaching business.
- Val encourages you to build a business around your life and uses her Balanced Business Framework as a guide.
-
- Success: Clarify and define your OWN vision of success, not what you see on social media.
- Structure: Have clear and effective systems for prioritizing time, energy, and finances.
- Strategy: This refers to day to day productivity and growth, but emphasizes putting on your blinders and concentrating on what works for you!
- Satisfaction includes both client satisfaction AND personal boundaries to prevent burnout.
- Val lost her Instagram account just days before a big launch! Her community pulled through and it was still a success. Re-building her Instagram has given her a more true audience. Although it was really scary for awhile, she is happy with where she is now. It’s a good reminder “not to put all of your eggs in one basket!”
- Val recommends the book Profit First by Mike Michalowicz and says it made a big impact on sustainable business.
- Val is currently reading Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots by Mary Marantz and Find Your People by Jennie Allen. Both good picks for finding community!
