PART 1: Values & Priorities + Current Reality Work

In the season 4 premiere of Creatives Crushing Anxiety,  I share the reasons you need to have a plan for your business.  Inspired by an old post, Yes, You Need A Business Plan I shift gears and talk about why you need a plan for your business even if it’s not a traditional business plan.    In this episode:  How a plan for your business can help you make consistent income.  How you can create realistic expectations with your business plan.  How clarity around what you offer and who you help can improve your marketing and attract the right clients. How having a well-thought-out plan can keep you in check with your progress and alert you when it’s time to shift your plan.

Start Loving Your Business Again With Anna Beyer

Who do you talk to about your blog and online biz? I know if you're like me you probably have a group of blog online besties that you talk to about everything. I mean everything about how you're feeling unmotivated because you had a fight with your mom. About the jerk who dumped you the day before Valentine's Day. Friends that you email when you're lacking motivation or need feedback. You might even talk to your friends about it who don't totally understand it and have no interest in owning a business or running a blog but they support you. I'm a big believer in having that circle of friends but do you have anyone that you talk to that owns a brick and mortar store? Someone who might operate a product-based business while you have a service-based one? In this episode, I dive into the benefits of talking to people outside of your industry to help your business grow.

Why You Need to Talk to People Outside of Your Industry

Do you have trouble setting boundaries in your life? Then buckle up because on this episode of Creatives Crushing Anxiety I have coach Melody Dowlearn to talk about the importance of boundaries in our life and their value.    In this episode:  How the lack of boundaries keeps us from reaching our full potential.  A new perspective on why boundaries are important and already a part of our life. They way we enable chaos when we don’t set boundaries.  Understanding that there will be push back when you set boundaries and why it’s worth it in the long run.  How to walk away from personal and professional relationships when boundaries aren’t accepted.  Questions you can ask yourself when it’s time to examine your relationships. The way our boundaries and the boundaries of those in our lives are so powerful. How to be unapologetically you with grace and kindness. The right way and time to set boundaries. Why you shouldn’t say “I’m sorry” when starting a conversation about boundaries.  What to do when someone else’s boundary triggers you.   Setting boundaries with yourself. 

The Power of Boundaries with Melody Dowlearn

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably heard about the winter storm Texas has last week. We had ongoing power outages and below-freezing temperatures. That week taught me a lot. It reminded me of all my blessings and also how to ask for help.  In this episode of Creatives Crushing Anxiety, I share the business lessons I learned during the freak snowstorm in Texas and how they can help you in your business.

Minisode 5 : Word of the Year Check In

It’s the 100th episode, of Creatives Crushing Anxiety!!!! I cannot believe I have been doing this for 100 episodes. It has been such a fun journey. In this episode, I didn’t want to go on and on about all the feels. So instead I decided to share my podcast process with you in case you’re wondering how I publish episodes or if you’re thinking of starting your own.  Thank you to the listeners, the people who have emailed in, the people who have been a guest. I am so grateful to you all. 

The 100th Episode

I am officially back from summer hiatus and I am giving up! No not the podcast, not ditching the business to work at Pizza Hut. But I’m giving up on things that no longer serve me. During my Summer podcasting break I had a lot of time to reflect. 2020 has been a bit of a beast so far in a number of ways. Personally with making the shift into coaching, working with some new amazing partnerships and really focusing on what I want in my life. Globally, we have been balancing a new life during the covid area, continuous systematic racism and uncertain times.    It’s been a lot, for all of us. That's why right now I want to focus on living in my truth and doing the things that feel good and aligned with the person I am becoming. I’m giving up doing things because I should. Don’t should all over yourself. I’m giving up the obligations so I can embrace my desires and own my responsibilities. 

Giving Up
