If you’re on more than one email list from creative coaches and mentors, you've heard everyone’s “top” advice.

A coach and mentor cannot do it for you, so invest when you're ready to put time in and make change.

And yes! That is my top piece of advice, too. I see this all the time with clients. 

But that “top” advice really isn’t helpful, now is it? You know that.

That’s why today I want to share with you my second best piece of advice.

Always have an (intuitive and holistic) plan.

Mindset can also be referred to as working on your attitude, your general psyche, your energy, your approach, your beliefs...

I always think it’s a bit like hypnobirthing - our brain associates certain words or phrases with certain physical or emotional responses. Training our brain to surround itself with a set of words, approaches and attitudes that are inherently associated with positive outcomes can, in turn, generate more positive outcomes.

Finding your unique voice in the bustling world of business is a journey of self-discovery and authenticity. It's about standing out, not blending in, and serving your ideal clients with a genuine passion for what you do. Embrace your mission, stay true to your vision, and let your creativity shine. By doing so, you'll create a brand that resonates, content that connects, and a business that truly represents you. So, go ahead, answer these questions, and embark on the path to making your mark in a way that's unmistakably "you." Your audience—and your future self—will thank you for it.

Sadly, there is very little that any of us can do to shield ourselves from the circumstances that will batter our confidence. However, building resilience to this battering, and developing strategies that will build your confidence, is achievable.

Being a multi-passionate means I also have multiple email addresses, with lots of admin to juggle. I’ve now realised that this is how I keep myself organised. I’ve come to realise that my unique approach to staying organised could be a valuable insight for those of you, who, like me, struggle to keep on top of everything in your small creative business and vibrant, full life.

Because our brains and souls need it. They’re crying for us to engage in the sticky challenge of making something new, to stretch our creative muscles. It’s not just about acquiring a new possession; it’s about experiencing the profound, deeper chemical response of being more than mere consumers. It’s the satisfaction of doing something for the sake of the journey, rather than the outcome.
