EP37: How Old Beliefs about Creativity can Limit us in Adult Life

Have you experienced this?

You know someone who doesn't think they are creative, and when you ask them why - they say it's because they weren't good at art in school? (Or maybe this is you?)

Over the years I've been thinking long and hard about the labels we attach to ourselves from way waaay back when we were at school

And I think it can be really problematic with the way that we view ourselves as adults!

Listen to this episode to find out what can happen in our lives when we listen to other people's limited views of creativity - there will be personal anecdotes as always...

EP.36 - Finding Your "One Thing" in Business (with Dora)

Have you ever seen someone else doing what they're really passionate about for a living and wondered what your "thing" is? This is definitely something I can relate to, and I'm sure many of you lovelies can too!

TODAY'S GUEST:

This week I'm talking to the amaaazing Dora about her big business adventure so far:

Dora is a mum of 2 from Surrey, UK. She is a website designer and she loves helping female business owners get started with their website, so they can move their business forward. Based on her own journey as an entrepreneur, she believes that having a website is not just about credibility. It’s about confidence and a sense of moving your business to the next level. Her path to website design was far from conventional. She has a Masters degree in Economics and worked as a database manager for most of her career. After becoming a mum, she invented an award winning baby product Medapti and while trying to bring her invention to life, she learnt a ton of new things about running a business, including creating a website. It has been a steep learning curve since building her first ever WordPress website 9 years ago, but she realised how much she enjoy it! What she loves even more is empowering other women to move their business to the next level and helping them realise their ability to do what they thought was impossible!

SUMMARY:

In this episode, we discuss the journey to finding your "one thing" and all the amazing experiences we can have on the way. We also discuss whether finding this achievable and realistic (there is a twist at the end... so wait for it).

Drop me a DM or e-mail to let me know your thoughts - do you believe there is a "one thing" for you? If not, what has been your key takeaway from this episode?

EP35 - You Don't Have to Know the Whole Journey... Just the First Step

So often we are held back by feelings of overwhelm when faced with our future desires and goals. We think we have to have it ALL figured out... but in fact this is not realistic and the only thing we must do is take the first step. From that place, we can intuitively realise what is right for us and take the next step, then the next etc.

I'm not saying that planning ahead isn't wise - because of course you can make plans! But you will encounter many twists and turns, so be prepared to make tweaks along the way. The most effective thing we can do when starting something new, is to take action in some way or another. In this episode I use my blog as an example, how I got started and that I didn't have my whole journey mapped out in front of me.

EP34 - How to Handle Other People's Opinions of Your Creative Business

EP33 - The secret ingredient you need for a "unique" business idea

This week's topic is something I am super passionate about... in fact it's come up for me a lot this week when creating my "How to Gain Clarity on Your Big Business Idea (and stop feeling stuck)" course ---- link to Udemy available in the links at the end.

When we begin our entrepreneurial journey, we sometimes think that to come up with a unique business idea, it has to a) not have been discovered before and b) be totally groundbreaking. But this is detrimental to our journey because it is simply not the case! Believing this can leave us in a state of inaction and feeling stuck.

Plus, there is in fact, a very vital secret ingredient to coming up with a unique business that we do not consider enough - in my opinion! That is YOU.

EP. 32 - The Importance of Personal Development as a Creative Entrepreneur (With Nicole and Liza from the Female Film Club)

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to the lovely Nicole and Liza from the Female Film Club:

The Female Film Club, is the online community for international filmmakers who thrive in their career and life. In the club we focus on Mindset, Skill and Network with a weekly programme of events which help members thrive. The FFC channels the shared experience of all of its many members, to empower and embolden individual female voices, from right across the film industry. This allows members find their tribe and become part of a global movement pushing the female voice forward.

In this episode Nicole and Liza share the important part that personal development and mindset work has played in their respective creative entrepreneurial journeys. Hearing their story on how they crossed paths just a couple of years ago and formed the Female Film Club is also super inspiring!

EPISODE 30 - How to navigate your fear of worst case scenarios

Wahoo, it's episode 30!!! Thank you so much for sticking around to listen to my thoughts on this creative business rollercoaster we find ourselves on, and the personal development journey that naturally comes with it.

So, you may be old enough to remember the 90s / 00s Dr Pepper advert with the jingle "what's the worst that could happen?".

Today's episode is perhaps not as memorable musically (or maybe you love my theme tune!) but I want this to be a reminder to you! If you are holding yourself back in some way in your creative business, because.... maybe you're worried what others will think, or you think it won't "work", or you have a lot of negative feelings about yourself. Please consider this question - truly what is the worst that could happen?

Let me share with you a strategy I use when I'm facing fearful moments and turning a corner in my creative business.

I'm here to remind you that you are only here once and that you are worthy of living your best life!
