Stay ConnectedWelcome to the Onward Creatives Podcast. A weekly podcast bridging the gap between creativity and business.
This podcast is for the creative entrepreneur, the one’s who dare, dream and do.
Each week I help you find clarity and take action so you can make a living doing what you love. The journey onward starts here.
So often when we're ready to launch or grow our business we think....website. Sales is all about awareness and reputation. No matter how amazing our product is, if they don't know that we exist they will never buy from us.
Networking is a word that terrifies most of us because we think of cheesy Chamber of Commerce meetings in hotel ballrooms....where cheap beer and business cards flow like honey. There's a better way.
To develop a true network you need to:
1. Know your target audience 2. Make a plan to meet them 3. Go to them....be willing to be uncomfortable 4. Make it about them (add before you ask) 5. Look and ask for connections 6. Stay in touch

Whether your business is well on it's the journey or this is the year to start something new.....the big question is...."Where do I start?"
I say to start with clarifying the destination (listen to episode 85 and 86). Once you know the destination, then it's imperative that we take a little time to make sure that the movement we take in 2018 will move us closer. Here are a few tips to grow your business in 2018:
1. Get a bird's eye view 2. Whiteboard everything 3. Stop what doesn't work 4. Get rid of the things that hold you back 5.Work the plan

It's a new year with new opportunities! Clarity is one of the key factors in both personal and business success. The more clarity of your purpose, what makes you unique and what success looks like the more probable you are to see success realized. Here are three super-practical ways to start the year with clarity.
1. Write out your "70 year old" story. 2. Develop a life plan 3. Discover your why "Find your why"

It's a New Year! There are so many opportunities ahead of us this year. So many of our ideas fail for the same reasons....lack of execution....lack of patience. But before we can execute and wait it out we need clarity!
So as we start the year I want you to ask this question....
What would I do in 2018 if this was my last year?

Although business may slow down as we celebrate the holidays, we can stay productive and keep the momentum going. Here are four things that I do to keep moving through the holidays while getting ready for the New Year:
1. Celebrate the growth 2. Evaluate 2017: work through Stop, Start, Continue 3. Begin to build a plan of action 4. Rest and resource (here's the list of my top 10 books)

Does it wake you up? Is everything fine and then suddenly....it's not? Do you find your mind racing ahead through possible scenarios most of which end with you crashing and burning into utter destruction?
Maybe I'm the only one....but I doubt that I am. Anxiety sucks and we as creatives are especially vulnerable to this "companion" who over stays his welcome.
To be honest, I'm done with it....so here are the three things that I'm doing to kill it so I can go onward.
1. Starve it----remove the things that feed it
2. Replace it ---- find other "wolves" to run with
3. Kill it-----rewire the mind and the way you face difficulties.

There are no shortcuts to success. The journey is long but the journey is where YOU ARE MADE! The promises of instant and overnight are not the way forward. In order to create we have to sit down and create. Get the hands dirty, let the paint fly, and create. We have to hustle!
The second thing we need is patience, cheap wine comes instantly...the good stuff takes a while. You deserve more than boxed wine, you deserve the good stuff. So stay at it....work hard and be patient.

Guess what....this journey is difficult! The webinars, keynotes, online courses and Instagram posts sell us on an easy journey. The messages tell us that we can short cut the process and skip our way to success but none of it is true. Entrepreneurship is hard, as long as we expect it we won't be sideswiped.
The other reality is "If others have done it, you can do it also!" So as hard as it looks take heart and learn from those who have gone before you.
