If you're like me, as a creative entrepreneur, you're always wondering what you should do next and how best you can serve your audience. But instead of wondering, we simply need to ask. Surveying our audience, regardless of their size is the best way to make sure what you're creating is in alignment with what they're needing, and in this episode I'm going to share the benefits of surveying your audience and how I've used survey results to propel my business and offerings.

In this episode of The Professional Creative, I'm discussing the question we've all received: Can I pick your brain?—and how to navigate it. Whether you're a beginner, a busy creative, or a successful business owner, you can respond intentionally and kindly while honoring your own boundaries and managing expectations.

Today, I want to share my experience on setting boundaries in creative businesses. As a creative entrepreneur, it's important to establish boundaries to maintain a healthy work-life balance and prevent burnout. I've implemented three types of boundaries: checking in on the business, what to say yes or no to, and receiving feedback. Establishing these boundaries has helped me manage my time and energy more effectively and has contributed to a greater sense of wellbeing and success in both my professional and personal life.
