050 As entrepreneurs it can be so easy to get overwhelmed and burnt out and lose track of what we love - like why we started doing what we do in the first place. What systems can you put in place to help you stress less and get back to doing what you love?

Today's guest is Erin Cantwell.  She was a graphic designer who went to work at a branding firm in NYC, so she's got some serious creative skills. And now, she helps creative entrepreneurs to bridge the gap between their creative work and the operation side, like how do you get down to the nitty gritty of your business. 

In this episode  you're going to learn a lot of interesting things about systems you can put into place. So even if you are not a creative entrepreneur, as in doing a creative business, like an artist or something, you still need creativity in your business, you still have to use creativity to be a successful entrepreneur. 

And so she has systems that can support you to find more flow, to spend more time in those spaces of creativity when you need them. And she also does a brilliant job of helping us to figure out how we can focus more on the client experience. What is it like for your client, for your customer, for your audience? And how can you focus more on that experience as a way to set up boundaries and systems that support you as well.  

Erin has a lovely way of helping us see the correlation between the systems that we set up, and how those systems can help to keep us healthy, happy and sane. But also bonus make us even more successful at this work that we love to do.
