“Sometimes, your brain just really needs to have some hard numbers to calm down a little bit.”
- Shinah
In last week’s episode, I talked about one major mindset hurdle that would-be creative entrepreneurs deal with — the “what will people think??” objection. This week, I want to talk about another major mindset hurdle that comes up when people want to transition into a more fulfilling creative career.
“What about the money?”
This is an objection that comes up frequently, no matter whether we’re talking side hustles or full-time creative endeavors. It was definitely a concern of mine when I was thinking about leaving my job in corporate law to become a full-time creative entrepreneur.
So, let’s talk REAL numbers.
In this episode, I break down my business finances during my own bridging period, around the time that I quit law and was working on building up a full-time creative business. Of course, everyone’s financial situation is different, and you shouldn’t use my numbers as a guideline for your own, but I want to give you an idea of what my own journey was like and remove a bit of the mystery surrounding creative entrepreneurship.

>> Where I was financially when I began exploring the possibility of launching a creative business (school debt and all)!
>> How I managed my first big revenue bump with Crooked Calligraphy.
