I have a vision for you.

Imagine you’re sitting with your future self in a cozy bookshop. She’s only a few years ahead of you. The smell of books, generously overstuffed leather chairs, and sweet warm lattes swirl in your nostrils as you take in how beautiful, put together and confidently she holds herself.

You’ve just finished pouring your heart out about how hard this shit is. You feel like no one understands you, you haven’t had any encouragement and you’re having a hard time believing in yourself. You’ve been looking for other part time jobs to supplement your income because every month it’s getting more expensive to live and you’re getting waaaay to close to a number in your checking account that makes you want to throw up. It doesn’t feel like enough. YOU don’t feel like enough. 

Tears fill your eyes as she squeezes your hand.

Even if you identify as something completely different, the person I work with does these two things for sure: 

1. Creates something that didn’t exist before

2. and does it for profit.

At its core, a creative entrepreneur is an individual who combines artistic vision with business acumen to forge unique paths in the marketplace. That’s a fancy way of saying you do your own damn thing.  You are the dreamers who turn their passions into profit. Innovators who blend creativity with strategic thinking to create something truly impactful.

You’re here because you want the freedom that comes with being a creative entrepreneur. But that means being able to increase your capacity to do ALL.THE.THINGS. As you begin to fully integrate this new entrepreneurial part of yourself with your already-in-progress life, you’ll need to be able to stretch in ways that might challenge your energy.

BUT, there’s one thing stopping you from doing that.

Your capacity. Your already very full brain.

The biggest challenge I see facing creative entrepreneurs is all or nothing thinking. That flavor of thinking creates the perfectionist tendencies that keep you stuck and not moving toward your vision. Here's how to overcome that.

Part of being an entrepreneur means that you have goals. Big hairy ones that other people can’t even wrap their heads around. It’s hard to even have a discussion about the future with people that are living for the weekend.

But baby, you’ve got the vision. You know about possibilities. And you’re right where you need to be.

So let’s talk about where you get stuck. Being able to quit quitting is one of the most invaluable skill sets for an entrepreneur, but it’s not one that comes naturally. Especially when you see how it’s supposed to come together perfectly, but the execution feels clunky.

In this post, I’m going to talk about the difference between Little quits and Big quits, how I decided to quit quitting, and how to execute each day even if you’re lacking in energy or time.
