There is a LOT that goes into starting a business – which might sound incredibly scary. But this is stuff though where you actually need to show up and courageously keep trying. Of course, you don’t need to do EVERYTHING when you’re first starting out- but you need to know the IMPORTANT things to do to establish yourself (and I’m here to tell you what they are!).
I’m de-mystifying the legal & financial steps to officially setup your calligraphy or art business. Everything you need to know about 1) Choosing a Business Name, 2) Deciding on a Legal Structure, 3) Getting permits, 4) Separating & tracking finances, 5) Invoicing Software, 6) Contracts, Insurance & Sales Tax
In today’s light-hearted episode, I share 13 things you probably didn’t know about me! Including: 1) The 21 countries I’ve traveled to, 2) The martial arts black belt I never use, and 3) What I do in my 40s that I would NEVER DARE to do in my 20s
Here’s what helps me through feelings of failure and disappointment (that are INEVITABLE if you’re doing anything courageous). Some are super-PRACTICAL, but the most powerful is this ONE PERSPECTIVE SHIFT I keep coming back to that helps me embrace all of life, the good and the ugly.
Priscilla never imagined she could own a business, let alone grow it to replace her full-time income… and our courses are what helped her along the way. ✨Join me to hear how she went from not even knowing what calligraphy was (!!!!), to finally beating her husband in monthly income 😏
If FEAR is stopping you from going after your creative or business dreams… you need to hear this (rude but powerful) message: your fear isn’t that unique or special, and how to overcome it and utilize it to your advantage!
Genell is a BRUSH PEN calligrapher who took my Calligraphy & Business Courses and finally gained the confidence to launch her business, Specially Inked. Join us as we talk about exactly HOW she was able to make $1000 with her very first product launch!)
If you’re hoping for more creative exploration and expression in 2024, I’m here to bust some myths about what it truly means to be “creative” and explain why as a society we need to re-think creativity just like we’re re-thinking SEX.
This year was all about growth. I did NOT hit my financial goals, but I’m feeling more optimistic about the future than ever. How? Because of the lessons I’ve learned this year, that will be helpful for anyone trying to go after a more true and fulfilling life. At the end of the day, clarity can only come from action. Hopefully, my year of action will help you go after what you really want in life.

Join me in the first episode of this 2-part podcast as I share with you a real, raw look at the numerical wins, lows & hard lessons I’ve faced during my year-long radical business experiment. As I process my feelings and look back on the last year, I’ve had quite the love/hate relationship with my biz… but there’s a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel, baby!
In this week's episode, I’m nerding out on all things copyright & trademark. I’ll share my hopefully plain-English, not-too-boring explanation of both, which one affects you more as a creator, and the potential copyright and trademark laws you could violate when selling things containing lyrics, quotes, poems, etc.
In this episode, I’m debunking the MYTH that entrepreneurs are “born” with an innate talent for business. In reality, entrepreneurs are MADE simply through developing skills and an understanding of the industry. Through building a business’ awareness, marketing, & sales I’ll teach you how to change the narrative and realize that entrepreneurship is merely an exchange of value- and not just for the likes of Steve Jobs.
If you’ve been dreaming of launching your own business but keep setting it on the backburner, my “Launch Your Profitable Product” Bootcamp is starting October 22nd 2023! Each day of boot camp, we’ll be taking concrete steps together to choose a product and launch it into the world for sale! By the end of our 7 days together, you will have a fully marketable product set up to sell (just in time for the holidays!). I’ll be walking you through each step of the process, and answering all your questions along the way!
Why I’m taking a wee break from this podcast - and spending two days a week to start something new and scary as hell.
