The Creative Boss Method

Instagram is a hot topic everywhere, so you’ve probably heard all sorts of advice and helpful tips about what to do in your business feed. But even with all of the information out there, there’s one type of content that we see missing from Instagram feeds all the time. And you needed this kind of content yesterday! So we’re going to dive into this topic and help you shift your mindset a bit around how you’re using Instagram as a small business owner.

As you share this kind of aspirational content, your ideal clients will start to imagine themselves on the other side of their problem. This will prime them to take action and buy more quickly. It will help you grow an audience full of people that you want to work with. And that audience will naturally want to refer people to you and be advocates for your business. Join us in the Creative Boss Society to get the momentum, strategy and support to reach our growth goals faster!

We challenge you to get creative and give aspirational content a try! And we’d love to see what you do, so don’t forget to tag us @thecreativebossmethod!

Are you hustling in your creative business? And if you are, did you start your creative business with the hope that you’d be working all day every day? For most people, the answer is probably no. So we want to share some of our experiences with the hustle mentality and help you take a look at whether you are hustling yourself toward success or burnout.

If you're really ready to abandon the hustle mentality and feeling overwhelmed, we encourage you to lean in and look at our Creative Boss Society, where we can offer you many more ideas and a lot of support for doing this. We had over 90 founding members join us this month, and after only 2 weeks, here’s what one of our members had to say:

"I've been struggling with coming up with an idea for my future products, and just listening to that Live mentoring session gave me so many insights into how I can develop a waitlist for my product while working on the actual product itself in the future!😍 Thank you for creating this society and for keeping it SO affordable too."

We want you to ask yourself if you are fully committed to doing what it takes to move past having no clue where to begin or not following through on your own plans. Would you like to actually start growing your unique offer, attracting your ideal leads, and making more sales instead? If the answers are yes and yes, head over to the Creative Boss Society membership page to learn more about how you can get the mentoring, accountability and support you need for sustainable growth!

Beautiful branding: it’s got so many business owners wrapped around its little finger. In fact, beautiful branding can become so consuming for new business owners that they stall launching their products/services and developing really key pieces of their actual offers while investing SO much money and time into their online presence, website, and logo. As creative bosses ourselves who actively work in the branding and photography fields, we’ve heard some variation of “Until my branding is done, I’m waiting to launch...” time and time again.

But here’s the thing: This type of branding-first-everything-else-later thinking could actually be a serious setback that is costing you a ton of missed opportunities, especially if you're spending thousands of dollars before making a single sale. So creative bosses, it’s time to break up with your time-consuming branding needs and desires! And with the money and energy you’ll free up, instead focus on these 4 mistakes to avoid when building your business for success.

Now that you've tuned in to this episode you probably see the importance of skipping some business steps (like perfect branding) in favor of getting right to the strategies of offer building. And to help you with that, next week we're launching a new 3-step challenge all about creating an offer that sells. To join us and get the information you need to produce an epic offer, head over to​ -->  www.c​reativebossmethod.com/challenge/ ​

There are 6 steps to the Creative Boss Method, and they follow the acronym M.E.T.H.O.D. In this episode we dive in to each of those steps; what they mean, how they apply to business and so much more. 

The METHOD also keeps you accountable with your dreaming. Not every idea you have will be a great idea, and sometimes it’s just not the best time for something new.  As creative, multi-passionate individuals, it’s easy to want to dream! But if you haven’t afforded yourself the time to maximize the previous steps, you might see that you are not actually at a point of readiness for dreaming. You might observe that what you really need is to dive deeper into your mission, work on holding your successes, or optimize some of your systems. It’s OK to go back. The METHOD is meant to be a circle of steps you can use over and over to calm the chaos and to set up and implement whatever it is that YOUR creative business needs.

This Creative Boss Method collaboration is a part of OUR dreams--another way to serve our clients and other creative business owners. We’ll keep expanding on the METHOD in future episodes, and we’d love for you to help us in our mission of positively impacting creative entrepreneurs by subscribing.
