How To Take The “Scary” Out Of Starting A Business
Think building a calligraphy business means you need a full-blown plan, a perfect brand portfolio, and a social media master? Think again.
In this video, I share two real stories—of students who started scared, took action, and booked their first gigs within weeks. I’ll tell you exactly what to focus on in order to get your business going with your very first paying clients.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
(0:57) “I need all of the things!!” - Why this myth holds people back SO often
(2:08) The two (NOT impossible) things I told my student she needed to do to take the first step & start your business
(5:32) Pitching yourself - doing the hard things drives your overall success (even if you fail at first!)
(7:49) The staircase - why stepping up to start a business isn’t as scary as you think
(10:50) The BEST time to get started with calligraphy & how to book a job THIS WEEK
You’ll walk away believing that success might not be as far off as it seems, and that mountain of tasks isn’t quite as big as you think it is!!

ABOUT CROOKED CALLIGRAPHY
Hey - I'm Shinah! A former miserable corporate lawyer turned sassy calligrapher and teacher. Ten years ago, I was WISHING I could create beautiful calligraphy but feeling really un-creative and LOST about how to achieve that... and now I truly believe that ANYONE can learn this beautiful craft - because I've already taught it to THOUSANDS of people, from all different backgrounds.
Calligraphy has given me a gorgeous life. It's helped my students find PASSION, PURPOSE, and a reason to JUMP OUT OF BED each morning. What could it do for you? =)
