If you've taken part in any athletic activities, you know how competitive it can get. Sometimes, creative fields are treated the same way... There are many creatives who are cut-throat about being the best and "beating" their competition. But the reality is, creativity is not a competition. There is no way to score how well you are measuring up to others - and that's exactly what we're talking about today!

This week, we're talking about something that hits close to home... Dealing with burnout. Or more specifically, preventing it in the first place.

Burnout occurs quite often for creatives, especially when they don't see the results they want with their creative pursuit. Overworking and excessive stress can cause burnout - but that doesn't have to be the end of the story. We're talking today about some simple ways you can care for yourself so that you avoid facing burnout. Gabriella Martay and Amber are discussing everything from simple, daily rituals to helpful mindsets to maintain so that you can remain refreshed in your craft. We hope it helps!

Welcome back to another episode of The Creatives' Conversation! This week we welcomed back entrepreneur and podcast host, Andrew Trac, to share from his wealth of knowledge about time management.

We are all given 24 hours in a day... How we spend that 24 hours varies greatly from person to person, but the important part is that we use it well. Creatives and entrepreneurs are often not bound to a 9 to 5 schedule like most people, so learning how to manage time is essential. That's why we're sharing with you some tips on how to best manage your time in this episode. We hope you find it to be helpful!

This week, we're answering a question from one of our newsletter subscribers about how we published our book without breaking the bank.

Since the initial idea of writing We Don't Need Another Marketing Book four years ago, we have been on quite the unexpected journey. Publishing a book has taken lots of time, resources, and people - which is something we greatly underestimated when we first began. So we're here to tell you all that we wished we knew when we set out to publish our first book. Enjoy!

We've officially made it to our TWENTIETH episode of The Creatives' Conversation - woohoo! This week, we brought on a guest that is very dear to us - Andrew Trac. Andy owns a consultation company where he helps budding businesses grow into making a profit. He also hosts a podcast of his own, Cold Brew Conversations, where he interviews young people about their passions. We brought him on this week to share with creatives how they can make a profit with what they create.

Making money with your craft won't very likely happen on accident; it will take knowledge and planning. We believe that some of the planning that should take place on the front end of trying to monetize your craft is creating a business model. While that can seem like a daunting task, Amber and Andy are breaking it down into small, actionable steps that will help you make a business model that you feel confident about.
