My grandma has this saying about September. She says, "If you let September catch you without a plan, then you might as well get ready to start saying "Happy New Year" in two weeks."

I totally agree. Once September starts the holiday season rolls in and it’s a nonstop roller-coaster ride until we hit New Year’s Day. Don’t let the holiday slump catch you.

If you own a creative business, it’s important that you get your second wind and finish the year strong. In this episode, I’m sharing 6 ways that you can end the year on a high note. (Original Broadcast Date August 23, 2017)

Christa David is a mixed media artist fusing the mediums of painting, collage, and assemblage to discuss themes of faith, power, politics, and identity. In September 2016, after years of “making art in the cracks” (nights and weekends) alongside her demanding work as a senior public health researcher, she took a leap of faith into making art full-time.

In this episode, we discuss why Christa left her six-figure salary to pursue art, how to evaluate your life situation to decide if taking the leap is right for you, marketing yourself as a full-time artist and avoiding the comparison bug. (Original broadcast date August 30, 2017)

This is part 4 of the Better Content Creation series. So far we've discussed the anatomy of great content, how to brainstorm content ideas and two ways to streamline your content creation.

 

In this final episode of the series, I want to share 7 ways to repurpose and remix your content. By now you should have your content ideas and you may be creating them with more ease but you've probably realized that you're doing a lot of work for little return, especially if you are just starting out. That's both frustrating and defeating.

 

This is why repurposing is so crucial. If you spend all of your time on the content creation hamster wheel, you won't have time to work on growth or revenue generating tasks.
