Today Kristin is talking with Erin Nielson, a watercolor artist who has turned her creative hobby into a thriving business. She’s sharing her perspective on how you know if you should merge your creative passion with business. We talked about:

• Why Erin keeps some parts of her art just for herself
• How to know if you’re ready to start a creative business
• Why finding your purpose is so similar to finding your creative voice
• How to stop feeling discouraged if your work doesn’t match what you want for it yet
• Erin’s Purpose Statement (and her Purpose Statement for her business!)
• How Erin translates her purpose into the day-to-day choices of doing what matters most
• What it’s like to feel contentment despite not having perfect circumstances
• Dealing with feelings of inadequacy as a creative
