005: How To Stop Hiding In Your Business and Get Hired

In today’s episode, we are diving into the many ways that you may be hiding inside your business. We are going to look at all the little ways that you are getting hung up on the mechanics of your business instead of getting yourself out there and participating in the magic of your creative energy.    I define creativity as the space where art and science meet and make magic. And I want you to be a creator of that magic rather than hiding on the sidelines! There are so many ways that you may be avoiding the big picture in your creative business. You may be trying too hard to achieve perfection in everything you accomplish, or feeling like you need to have all of the small components of your business set before you can go out and get yourself those clients.    I’m here to tell you that all you need to start a successful business is a client, a project, and a project. Logos, business cards, mission statements—they can come later. What you need to be doing now is getting yourself out there, presenting your unique talents to the world, and solving the problems for your clients that only you can solve. So, tune in today for that extra push to get out of hiding and into your creative practice. In this episode, you will hear: Why you need to be out there being found instead of hiding in your business 10 ways that you may be hiding in your business practices instead of developing your creative process and client interactions How perfectionism is your biggest trap The importance of being consistent and persistent in your social media presence   Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?
