In this episode, we're joined by the dynamic Lyric Everly to explore the essence of authenticity in the world of creative entrepreneurship. With a plethora of voices vying for attention, Lyric emphasizes the importance of tapping into one's unique voice and story. It's not just about standing out; it's about resonating deeply with your audience.

The modern creative entrepreneur often finds themselves caught in the relentless hustle culture. Lyric shares her personal journey from being entrenched in the hustle to discovering the power of spiritual and mindset practices. Whether it's meditation, breathwork, or hypnosis, these practices offer a sanctuary of stillness and clarity amidst the chaos.

We wrap up our conversation by diving into the integral role mindset plays in personal branding. As Lyric aptly puts it, branding is more than just an outward expression; it's a reflection of who you are and what you stand for. Aligning your mindset with your brand not only ensures authenticity but also creates a cohesive and impactful brand image.

This topic has been on my mind for a while now; what if extraordinary service and customer loyalty were your business's secret weapons?

That's the journey we go on in this episode, drawing inspiration from The Bear television show on Hulu and the book 'Unreasonable Hospitality' which underscore the essence of exceeding customer expectations in a modern business setting. 

Within this narrative, we draw on lessons learned from high-end restaurant experiences, explaining how they led to the creation of deeply loyal clients and raving fans. We discuss the significance of tailoring services to cater to individual client needs, correctly pricing services, and the profound impact of identifying your purpose in fostering a lucrative business - and I also give you examples of how you can do this in your own business.

Most of us creative entrepreneurs skid into the end of the year frazzled and burnt the EFF out. I don't want that to happen to you (again) so I dedicated this podcast episode to getting you 100% focused on your future - by looking BACK.  It's mid-year review time!

This solo episode dives deep into why pausing to take stock of your journey so far and charting your future course is a potent catalyst for growth. Harvard Business School research attests to the fact that reflection has the power to enhance your work performance and overall well-being. This episode is your roadmap to leverage these benefits.

We kick off by identifying how far we've come in the last six months of your business journey, highlighting the lessons gleaned, and envisioning the road ahead. There's merit in keeping the marketing machinery well-oiled even during peak times to avert the "feast or famine" conundrum. Goals for the forthcoming months are essential, but remember they need to be achievable and prioritized.

Finally, we underscore the importance of self-care in business success. Confronting challenges, cultivating a growth mindset, and utilizing tools like journaling and meditation are some of the potent ways to work on self-improvement.

To wrap it all up, there's a mindset exercise to help you envision a successful and fulfilling end of the year. So, come on board, and let's elevate your life, business, and self-improvement to unprecedented heights.

Let us know how you liked this episode and if it helped you - and as always, please leave a review!
