Laurent Collective Podcast

How do you determine what income streams are best for you and your creative business? Diversifying is a really great idea, but it can be hard to understand what will work best for your unique situation. 

We chat about the different types of income streams you could offer and some questions to ask yourself as you determine how you want to run your business.

What have you learned recently about income streams in your business? We’d love to hear from you! Come share with us on our latest IG post or send us a DM (we read all the comments and messages) @laurentcollective.

Debt holds you back from so much and for us, being $60,000 in debt held us back from being able to give in the ways we desired. 

Debt doesn’t have to be part of your story forever, but it does take time and effort to be serious about stepping out of it. We share our story and what worked best for us to come to a place of debt freedom.

Do you feel like life gets too busy and you don’t have any time to build relationships? 

When you’re busy you don’t create space for rest and don’t allow lingering time with others. We talk about what we’re finding as our time opens up in new ways and how we find space to grow deeper relationships and for rest.

Do you work together with your spouse in a business or has this past year of Covid had you at home with your spouse more? 

We’re going to talk about some things we’ve learned over the years of working together and being in the same space a lot. We’ve worked together in business for over 13 years so we have a few things we’ve learned but we are still always learning.

The idea of finding balance in your life is widely talked about, but is it possible? It seems to us to be more of an unbalanced act as you go in and out of different seasons of life. 

Today we’re sharing some thoughts on figuring out your priorities and how you spend your time. We think about your dream life and what essentialism looks like to help you with your yeses and noes.

It’s so easy to see what other people are doing and want to mimic them, but we all have a unique path. So how do you stay on that path and not get side-tracked to what others are doing? We’re going to talk about that today.

We moved to the UK five years ago and thought we’d understand most things as we speak the same language. But is the language the same? 

Do you know the difference between pants and trousers? We learned this and many other differences in some embarrassing ways. We have a good laugh at some of the differences and the cultural adjustments.

If you are a parent, you probably spend a lot of time with your children, but there are ways to make intentional times to build the connections within your family. We certainly don’t have this all figured out but we’ve picked up some ideas along our parenting journey and are sharing with you in this episode.
