In this episode, we’re diving into the three essential mindsets that every creative entrepreneur needs to thrive: an experimental mindset, healthy detachment, and blind stubborn belief.

Learn how to embrace experimentation as your superpower, let go of the grip of perfectionism, and commit to your vision—even when the path ahead feels unclear. When you’re building a brand, launching a new offer, or simply trying to keep the wheels turning, these practices will help you find balance between creativity and structure while staying true to yourself.

Grab your coffee (or tea!) and let’s get into it.

Bringing you an off-the-cuff episode about three eras you might find yourself in as a creative entrepreneur, and what to focus on in each era. Being able to name where we are in our own evolution allows us to focus on our present moment while looking to the future, but not skipping ahead and working on things that will keep us stuck.

For more of a deep dive into your entrepreneurial era, book a free 45-minute strategy session here and we'll help define some next steps for you in 2024 to keep your ideas moving forward.

When you decide to build your brand a little deeper, to take it to the next level or refine it, “authentic” shouldn’t be at the top of your list for how you want your brand to feel. Not only is it a bit overused, but it just doesn't mean anything -- when it comes to branding, you need other keywords to help define what is actually authentic for you. So skip the word "authentic" and dig deeper for a brand that has true impact and beauty, the kind you are already in possession of and maybe just need a little help figuring out.

In this episode, I'm chatting with myself about how easy it is to get attached to our businesses, to have expectations for how things should go, and how that easily leads to disappointment and burnout. From a branding perspective, there are a few things we can do to help our brains relax a little, even when things feel hard, so we can keep doing this work we love to do.

Today I'm digging into what I'd focus on to build a creative business that makes money in a way that's sustainable over the long-term.

For us creative folks, having a business is about so much more than just making money (even while needing the money, lol). We need it to both look amazing and feel amazing from the inside out, and we need it to create impact on the other side of our work.

But we often get stuck on the practical "how" of making a business work when we would so much rather spend time on our creativity. This is a call to blend the beauty with the business, to find ways to keep our craft alive without the soul-sucking business-as-usual ways of running a company.
