On this episode I talk to Dr. Minette Riordan.
Minette helps creatives build profitable businesses through her coaching and her membership program called The Creative Business Accelerator. 

She’s a self proclaimed productivity geek and helps creatives with their shiny object syndrome. She helps them focus on monetizing one idea at a time.

Minette says that carving out time for creative play and not turning every idea into a business is the key to success. Give yourself permission to work on things that are just for you.

She talks about being a multipotentialite and how we should be giving kids space to explore, instead of pressuring them into picking one thing that to be when they grow up.

Minette is the best selling author of Artful Marketer and hosts art retreats for creatives.

Her Creative Business Accelerator program is for the multipassionate creative to get accountability, structure and support. Creative People start their business because they have a lot of passion but they usually need help with structure.

Highlights from Becky of Your Connection Strategist:

• She was wrongfully fired from her job but used that fear and uncertainty to guide her into entrepreneurship.
  
  
• Decide on something and just get started.
  You don’t have to have a degree or a formal education to start a business.
  
  
• She chose her niche in boudoir photography because she has a passion for human connection. She coaches her photography clients to be their best selves. Seeing and accepting themselves as they are now.
  
  
• Find the person that is doing what you want to be doing, and learn from them. Shadow them. Ask them to mentor you.
  
  
• Becky's Virtual workspace - Work: On Purpose. With Purpose - An all inclusive, community membership providing an action hour 3 times a week so you can focus on what you want to achieve in your life, business or otherwise.
  
  
• She has 3 young children but uses her time wisely. She doesn’t let that stop her dreams. She uses it as motivation and is intentionally busy with her time. Go outside your comfort zone to help build your business. Make fear your best friend.
