Ever wonder what it would be like to quit your dayjob (even if you love it) and do something you feel CALLED to do? (Some of you are like, “Ummm...hellloooo, that’s why I’m listening to this podcast Ang….)

Like literally going from the 9-5 corporate job to having your very own lake home with a separate craft cottage for your creative business???? 

You probably know it as making your side hustle your main hustle?

Welcome to The Brilliant Creative, Episode 4! 

I feel the need for an extra WELCOME today because...well, I want you to 

REALLY FEEL welcome today.

Today I want you to feel super welcome...and I want you to feel all the love around the topic we’re diving into today. It’s a topic lots of creatives (and lots of other people for that matter!) feel less than comfortable with. It’s money.

You guys!!! This is a good one. This episode shows you a little of my heart and soul for creatives. I want you guys to be awesome at money. 

The first step is to LISTEN to a conversation about it.
Let yourself listen and consider.

The first step is to let yourself consider that it is possible for you and money to be pals.

Yes! You could be pals, buddies, friends. 

Maybe even good friends.

I mean, WHAT IF YOU COULD?????

And what if it wasn’t as hard as you thought it would be?

...

Hey there business friend….I know you! You love to make, build, create and design.

You’re pretty good at it….and usually you can do it pretty fast, right?

But what happens when building something doesn’t go fast enough?

Like building a business. 

Building a business you LOVE takes a while.

It takes time to get your business running the way you want it to.

It can go fast....it can happen quickly, but it can also take years. Especially if you are designing a business that really works with you and your lifestyle. 

Before we dive into this episode, listen to the mindset provided for you at the beginning. 

The mindset for today’s episode is basically the creative business version of “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Creative businesses are built bit by bit, conversation by conversation, client by client, decision by decision. Remember this when you feel behind, overwhelmed or just plain stuck....

Are you ready for a REFRESH in your creative business? After the past 18 months, I imagine a REFRESH or even a RESTART might be helpful. As a creative business coach, I know how empowering it can feel for my clients to look at their business and find a couple parts of it to “shine up”. Or even to “rebuild” or “recreate”. My clients are finding all of these RE words to be helpful right now. And so am I.

Join me for a chat on how to REVIVE, RESTART and RE-ENERGIZE your current business. Almost everyone is ready for some fresh, new energy...listen in and learn how.

About this podcast:

Some businesses thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic, was yours one? If so, you might be exhausted.
