Last year after the global pandemic hit, many people found themselves working from home for the first time.

At Helps2, we've been a remote company all along - so we have years of experience with working from home. Our brand manager, Amber, is sharing some productivity tips that have helped her as a remote worker.

Welcome back to another episode of The Creatives' Conversation! This week, we brought on one of our Helps2 team members who works with us remotely from Idaho - Grace Robinson! Grace has been our content supervisor since 2012, in addition to being a self-published author of sci-fi and fantasy stories. She's also the co-author of our book, We Don't Need Another Marketing Book.

We brought Grace on this week to share about the work it takes to make your creative vision possible. Grace writes about this in our book, sharing a little about the efforts she's had to put in to publish her work... But on today's episode, she's sharing in greater detail some stories and advice for creatives who want to make their dreams come to pass.

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!
