  • Episode 30: Keeping your creative juice flowing!

    We've all heard about the artist's block or creative blocks; this is not a surprise to me. The constant effort to create better and better pieces can result in a complete burnout.

    However, there are things that you can do so you won't end up burned out and without inspiration. Over time I've created my repertoire of habits which help my clients and me to stay inspired and rested throughout the whole year.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Find out which personality type you are. This will help you discover what it is you need to stay motivated and inspired.
    • Keep a sketchbook or journal with you at all times, so you can write down and draw out all ideas when they come to you. Later when you have trouble coming up with things you can go back and implement the ideas, haven't had time for previously.

  • Episode 29: Instagram as a Money Maker.

    Join my conversation with Helene in Between where she shares tips and tricks with us on how to turn out Instagram account into a money maker. Because as a creative we don't just need to have a place where we post our pretty images, but we need a place where our potential clients will find us, get to know us and we can open up our universe for them to join.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Instagram can be more than a social media platform where you post pretty images. The platform has the potential to become your money-making machine.
    • You should know precisely why people should care about your Instagram account. Why should they follow you? Put that reason into your BIO, so people know right from the get-go.
    • Be relatable or admirable on your account. You can do both, but every post should be something along those lines.

  • Episode 28: Systems, organization, and routines.

    Isn't it the goals as a creative to spend as much time as possible in your studio? Working on the things that matter most to you, creating your beautiful artworks.

    This might come as a surprise to you, but systems, organization, and routines will help you do just that. Creating them will take some time and energy. However, once they're in place, you'll gain back time and freedom to do what you love most. Let's get you started on your path to more studio time, freedom and brain space.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Systems can be fancy and digital, but sometimes it's enough to just hang a notebook and a pen on your supply storage, so you can write down everything that's low in stock right when you take out the materials you need. Don't make things too complicated; the best systems just work because of they're simple.
    • As creative we're not typically know for our organizational skills, however having an organized space will make it easier for you to find things and to clean up after you're done creating some beautiful messes with your paint and materials.
    • Getting systems, organization, and routines in place isn't something you'll do once and never touch again. However, over time it will become your second nature.

  • Episode 27: Developing a profit first mentality.

    Join my conversation with Annette Ferguson where we talk all about bookkeeping, managing your financials and developing healthy money habits. Because taking care of your finances, your books and your tax payments can be easy.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • You need to take money home! Don't just keep investing in your business; you need to be taking care of your needs before you can take care of others.
    • As a creative, you have the skill that most people don't have, but they need your work in their life in order to make it colorful.
    • When you doubt if people need your creative work, think of apple, Tiffanys, Mercedes and other brands selling products you don't need to live, but people still buy them because they make them feel better. Owning those products makes life more fun and luxurious.
    • Create a financial cushion! Put aside three months of business expenses in a business savings account. And set aside two to three month of your income aside.

  • Episode 26: Asking for help

    Running a creative business is though. Time intensive and everytime we think we've figured things out we discover that there is just a new challenge waiting behind a corner. Some of them were totally capable of overcoming on our own, analyzing the situation will give us the necessary clues to find a solution. However what happens when you can't figure out how to solve the issue. Then it might be time to ask for help.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Make sure you take a step before you jump into problem-solving mode. You might just need a different perspective to see what is in your way.
    • Don't be too pride to ask for help. We all need help from time to time, and it's no shame to admit that you just can't do it all.
    • In many instances, we're able to find someone in our direct surrounding that can help us figure things out. But don't hesitate to spend some money on someone that comes in helps you. Avoiding to spend money, might even result in you spending even more money to solve the issue.

  • Episode 25: Pitching, growing and promoting

    If you'll ask me what the one thing was that changed my business from making no money at all to one where I have to handle waitlists, it is entirely due to pitching and promoting. Doing just that and focusing on it brought many awesome clients into my life and business. However, it also helped me to change the perception I had of my business. It skyrocketed my confidence and helped me own my creative superpower. Today I'm sharing with you how you can hop on the pitching and promoting train and how you can do the actual pitching and promoting.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Just do it! Things don't need to be perfect before you start sharing your creative superpower with the world. It's more important to get going and learn over time.
    • This is the one thing you need to do in your business, without it all your efforts won't pay off.
    • It gets easier and faster over time. Don't get discouraged just because sending out your first couple of pitches will take forever. Just keep on going, you'll become faster, and you'll develop your systems.
    • Pitching and promoting is a numbers game. Just keep on pitching, and you'll hear some yeses.
    • Stop taking no's personal. It's just a sign that it's not a right fit at this moment.

  • Episode 23: Cleaning up your mess

    When was the last time you cleaned up your life? Every single part of it, your studio, your home, your car? Then it's time, tune in today's episode where I break down how you can get rid of all those distracting messes that we all collect in our life. Those messes are holding us back from reaching our big scary goals, so get started and clean up that mess.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Having a cluttered, unorganized space influences how energized, creative and inspired you are. Working in a clean, beautiful, organized studio will increase your productivity and happiness.
    • Take inventory of all the little energy suckers and spaces that need some TLC. Put them on the yellow list and schedule time to get rid of them.
    • You don't need to tackle everything all at ones, just make sure your spending time on the yellow list consistently, and things will start to get effortless, and your other project will get a head start too.

  • Episode 22: Making your next craft show a real success.

    Craft shows as we all know are an easy way to sell your creative products, get known in your area and get to know your clients personally. Even though craft shows are always going to be work intensive, when done right they're a great way to sell, present yourself as a true professional and do some on ground market research. In this Episode, I'm sharing my tips and tricks on how to make your next craft show a real success.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Make sure your creative work is indeed in the spotlight on your craft show booth. Don't put everything around it that distracts from your actual work, no storage, crazy patterns, wild decoration should be visible unless it's your creative work.
    • Being part of a craft show is a great way to get into conversations about your work with potential clients. You'll be hearing how they talk about your work, what they are searching for and introduce you to how you're creating every piece.
    • Making things during the craft show in your booth is a great conversation starter. Plus talking about how every piece is handmade or one of a kind, makes it easier to justify higher prices.
    • Getting everything at the end of your craft show ready for the next one will make it easier to remember what you need to reorder, which products need to get restocked and what you've learned to make sure your upcoming show is going even more relaxed, smoother and more prepared.

  • Episode 21: Creating a marketing plan

    Creating a plan that helps you sell your creative work, is easier than you might think. Those fancy business words are making things more complicated than necessary. So let's dive into creating a marketing plan that you can implement, one that isn't relying on funds you might not have at the moment.

    Takeaways from today's show:

    • Before you can start promoting anything in your business, you'll have to figure out what it is that you want, what your clients seek and what your team needs from you and the business.
    • Don't be everywhere, not every social media platform is right for you, plus it's not necessary it will only spread you too thin so that you won't be successful in any of it.
    • Don't reinvent the wheel every single time you promote your products; you might know your message well. However, your clients aren't going to see every single post you're putting out there or every single email. Keep repeating what works and slowly add new things. But don't scrap something that works.
