Episode 016: Jen Carrington: Content Creation, Being an Introverted Biz Owner & Standing Out
What We Talked About:
Interviewing Jen Carrington, content coach & creative mentor & blogger extraordinaire
How Asia started working with Jen, and how her coaching changed Asia's blogging life
Discovering you are a creative person, and realizing that "creativity" doesn't have to mean what it means for everyone else
Starting a blog about *anything* is a great way to start
"You can affect someone with what you create."
Finding your strengths & running with them
"Coaching isn't telling someone what to do, it's making the space for that person to figure out what they want to do."
Giving yourself permission to be good at something
The confidence you have to say "I don't know"
The difference between faking it til you make it and only selling what you can deliver
Starting a business young & being "ballsy"
Not having to use your blog to prove you're an expert
Having a voice amongst the noise
Not having to be the loudest voice to be heard
"When I'm creating content, I'm not trying to be someone else."
"Strong content creation comes from strong intuition with your content."
Putting your brand at your core
Listening to yourself to lead your content
"It's a muscle you have to work on."
Extroversion doesn't equal confidence; authentic doesn't mean outgoing
Advice for those of you drowning in noise, or being burnt out in content
"Strip it back to basics"
"What am I trying to say in this season of life"
You stifle your best content by worrying about content strategy
You don't have to care about equipment/tech tools/the how as much as you have to care about the why
Being an introvert does not mean being isolated
For the millionth time, creative friendships are INTEGRAL in the creative business owner's life
Writing a blog post for one person
Being okay with charging what you know you're worth
Good for you, not so good for me. That's okay to say!
Round 2 of this episode will be on Make It Happen podcast!

The different paths you can take that all make sense in hindsight (a la Steve Jobs)
How to pick out what you love about different career paths (and what to do about it)
Quickest way to find what you love: do it all
Mentors need to be supportive. Fact.
What happens when you put aside your passion, and what it takes to get it back

"Having someone who will push you forward in life is soooo key."
The first few years in business = rough for everyone
What you're supposed to be doing needs to flow
"It hurts more to not do it than to do it"
Having a business is much more than the craft

How to rise to the occasion of a new challenge (trust yourself!)
Reminding yourself that you're in charge

How to be self compassionate

Setting expectations for everyone to be happy
Putting yourself in the shoes of your client, even when you have never been in their position (photographing brides if you've never been a bride, for example)
Everyone is going to be talking when you work with them, so make sure it's good
"If they're not talking, it's not good enough."
"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin" Zechariah 4:10
"The smallest of actions can reap such great rewards."
"People can smell inauthenticity."
"You want clients to know who you are."
Your work is BETTER when you connect with clients

Episode 012- Being Authentic AF with Amy Young
What We Talked About:
Our very first Interview - with Amy Young!
Why being *you* online helps your clients
You *DON'T* need to have everything figured out (most likely, quite the opposite)
Being "real" makes you relatable- and relating to your clients is where it's at
Building trust by showing how you *fix* problems, not that you don't have any
Not knowing way you want in the beginning is.. totally fine, very normal, and maybe even better
You should start doing what you do *anyway*
YouTube being a VERY powerful platform
Ignoring the numbers, do what you do because you loveee it.
When you're not authentic, people may come but they may not be a good fit for you
Why you have to just START doing what you want to do
"The things you are passionate about aren't random, they are your calling."
Pay attention to what feels good and to what doesn't
Follow your bliss
Why it's so important to move from the space world to the face world (preach!)
Who wants to live behind their laptop?
"People want to hire you for who you are first."

Episode 009- 6 Keys To Your Slow Season
What We Talked About:
The 6 keys to your slow season:
Key #1: Have faith the slow season will end. DO NOT PANIC.
Key #2: Take a break.
Key #3: Be grateful.
Key #4: Get ready for the busy season.
Key #5: Be where you can’t be during the busy season (get online or get face to face!)

Preparing for the busy season is sooo nice to your future self
During your busy season, what do you wish you would have done before busy season started?
They can be personal things: visiting family, relaxing, exercising, scrapbooking
Or business things that make the busy season run smoother: organizing files, deleting files, implementing systems, or practicing new techniques and experimenting with new skills, doing administrative work/planning for future travel or other plans
Building habits during the slow season- starting new habits is hard!
Slow season is a time of investment
Preparing for the busy season is good, but you can also prepare for the slow season!
Give yourself projects!
Start stockpiling on your blog posts, video posts, Instagram content, etc.
You do not have to post Instagram in real time. Mind blown. Thanks Paige.
Using the slow season as a time to work out kinks in new long term projects, products or services
Everyone loves cacti. Fact. (Ps Paige has a new collection for Valentines Day: Desert Candy!)
Slow season is a great time to get photos done, headshots done, personalized stock photos done!
Portfolio building time!
Starting and investing in new friendships & relationships takes time, and the time to start is now!
Think about planting seedssss
Learning how to distribute your finances over your slow season
You live and you learnnnnn
Run through flowers with other creatives. To the Rocky theme song.

What We Talked About:
How much really can happen in a year- planned and unexpected
What consistency, hard work & passion can do for your business (and your life)
Why you should be excited for even more than what you’ve planned for
Why you should pat yourself on the back for the surprises life has given & will give you
What a perfect time of year to add Space to Face-ing to your goal list!
How consistency builds momentum, which is the gift that keeps on giving
Consistency doesn't have to mean doing the same thing over & over

Keeping track of your goals/achievements monthly instead of yearly
The benefit of taking your time on releasing a product/service
You are allowed to be and should be proud of your work
Life is better with friends. Insightful.

Episode 006: Setting Boundaries With Friends When You're Self-Employed With a Flexible Schedule
Today, we want to talk to you guys about saying no and not feeling guilty, about taking advantage of your schedule flexibility without feeling bad about it, about how to handle the naysayers who do not understand why you if you’re “just at home”, you don’t have the day off
As entrepeneurs, we have the amazing freedom to set our own schedules, to work from coffee shops, to take long lunches, to work long nights or take Mondays off. No doubt that most of us do not work the typical 9-5, but equally there is no doubt that we put in over 40 hours a week.

Episode 005: Why We Are Anti-Sweatpants
You know what we love about being entrepeneurs? Being able to be ourselves, express ourselves, being able to take advantage of many, many freedoms. One of these freedoms, however, is not being able to leave the house in sweatpants. This week, in the episode we have dubbed the "Anti-sweatpant Episode", we hope to talk you out of stepping out of your house without your best foot forward. We hope to rid America of the sweatpant wearing entrepeneurs! #asiaandpaigeforpresident
That's a joke, obviously, but really. In this episode, we talk about all the benefits of getting ready for your day, of treating yourself (re: your wardrobe, your appearance, your composure) as a walking advertisement for your brand. We talk about how dressing the part helps you get the part because you will have the confidence to do what it takes to get the part.
We believe in you, and we want others to believe in you just by looking at you.
