Nowadays, we are able to excel in an industry without any formal training, we can rely primarily on our creativity and intuition, which is invaluable. However, the challenge is then that you're relying essentially on your own instincts which in some cases can misguide you or confuse you.

Lets face it, the first time we try something - most of us suck. And to be honest we probably don't show the outside world what sort of mishap we created. At least speaking for me. But I'm guessing that may be you too. So why is it so hard for us to push past that, to be patient with ourselves and to remember a masterful beginner isn't a thing.

We become experts, masters, and professionals by trail and error, practice and more practice.

I'm so excited to introduce to you Faith Bullard who is an incredibly talented artist that is experienced in many mediums. She talks us through how she learned to push past the beginner phase, and that she even kinda enjoys the beginner phase. We'll also get to see the beauty in creating simplicity and how that can actually be more difficult than creating something complicated. And how she building a community around her artwork changed the game for her. Let's dive in.

Pricing is such a touchy subject. But one that needs to be discussed. Too many people emotionally price their product and tend to under value their work. We think we're doing people a favor or straight up we just lack the confidence to think people would actually spend that kind of money on what we do or make. Well that is a complete lie. To find out why AND to hear what 10 factors you need to be including in your pricing - take a listen.

Are you able to acknowledge your strengths without feeling like your being cocky or arrogant? Are you able to see your weaknesses without being self deprecating and feeding insecurity? Most people have a hard time with one or the other or both. It just gets awkward. And worst yet, we can only go as far as planned. Meaning, if you can't tell where you excel and where you fall short, you're gonna cap out from just winging it or guessing. Eventually it will catch up with you. Either your weaknesses will sabotage things, OR your strengths will fail you because you're not fully utilizing them.

Today's discussion, Addi and I are diving in deep to strengths and weaknesses. Tap to play.

We all compare ourselves, all the time. The thing is, we do it primarily by finding differences which is as easy as ..we'll finding differences. We all do it. All the time.

We're gonna first look at comparison and how that actually effects our work. We're gonna set a foundation, and then we'll further look at comparison and break it out into two ways it can be done. Mindless comparison and intentional comparison. We'll see how mindless comparison is causing quite a bit of damage in your life and how we can pivot to intentional comparison - which leads to no longer crossing your fingers that your work is unique but intentionally seeing exactly how you can set yourself and your work apart. This is a game changer.
