ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Running a creative business can feel impossibly hard when twenty different jobs are competing for your attention - and being busy doesn’t always mean the business is moving forward.
So much of the advice around focus simply tells creative business owners to “pick one thing” without explaining what that actually means when you have several products, multiple platforms and lots of genuinely good ideas.
In this episode, I’m sharing the three areas I believe creative business owners need to focus on to create steady, sustainable growth.
I’m looking honestly at the way I built Fizz and Flourish, the mistakes I made by dividing my attention and what I’m now doing differently as I grow my software for creative business owners - Artova. I’m also sharing examples of creative businesses that have expanded successfully without making the main idea behind their business harder to understand.
This isn’t about deleting all your other ideas or choosing one product for the rest of your life. It’s about deciding what matters most for the next 90 days and making sure the work you do actually supports it.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
• Why running a creative business feels so hard when you’re doing twenty different jobs
• How to choose one clear focus for the next ninety days
• Why focusing your business doesn’t mean selling only one product forever
• The mistake I made by not doubling down on what was already working in Fizz and Flourish
• How I’m using both of my YouTube channels to support one united goal
• What successful creative businesses do to make their products, content and audience connect
