Preparing to Make the Full-Time Leap
It’s too easy to dig into your bag of excuses as to why you don’t have enough time, energy, or resources to pursue your creative dream.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to how badly do you want it vs. how badly would you’d rather talk a big game but never follow through with the commitment.
Building your creative pursuits isn’t supposed to be easy, especially if your goal is to do it full-time one day.
Today’s guest, Belinda Kou, took control of her destiny early on and turned her interests in lettering into a full-time creative business…
The dopest part: she built her business all outside a day job while being a rad mom to two kiddos.
Not only has she done work for big brands like NPR, Coach, Trader Joe’s, and Washington Post, but her educational content is quickly building a hyper-engaged and hella-hungry community.
In today’s episode, Belinda and I talk shop on:
Preparing yourself for the full-time leap.
Overcoming perfectionism.
Hiring yourself through purposeful play.
Time management, batching, and habit building.
Repurposing content strategies and more!
If you’re looking for a heavy dose of inspiration to start taking yourself and your work more seriously, this episode will give you the fix you need!
