Letters From A Hopeful Creative

How can I create more space for my non-client work in my business?


Listen Later

In today’s episode we dive into this letter from a listener:

Lately, I've been inspired to grow my non-client work and my unpaid projects into a bigger part of my business. I have a published book, a podcast, and regular events - but they're not closely related to each other!

This makes it really hard to grow any one of them, let alone all of them, when my client work is what pays the bills.

I end up prioritizing client work above all these other projects, and I end up with very little time to spend on growing these other projects that I'd prefer to be the focus of my future. I have a gigantic list of ideas and dreams related to these projects, but it's felt like my paying client work is "getting in the way."

Do you have any ideas on how I could create the time or space to grow my lesser-paying work when my client work isn't the dream?

In today’s episode Sara and Jen explore how we can balance the work that pays the bills and the creative projects that truly light us up and create more space for all of the things we want to create, explore, and experience in this journey.

Would you love some encouragement and support in your business? Submit your letter for an upcoming episode here.
