Join me during the 100-day project! I’m really bad at being consistent. I start off with such great enthusiasm and then get distracted, busy, bored… you name it! Every year when I get an email about the 100-day project again, I get excited, commit to doing something for 100 days, and get busy planning my goal. Join in on the fun!

10 years ago, life i design was brought to life and it has been a whirlwind ever since. I started this creative space when I turned 40, and was so nervous to even call myself an artist at first!

In this blog post, I share with you my biggest tips for helping you find your artistic style as a beginner.

From the heart. From my personal perspective, and how I’ve decided to show support to the Black Lives Matter movement in the hopes that I can inspire you to do the same. Tuck in, pour yourself a warm cuppa and thank you for your time as you allow me to express myself.

Starting and growing your modern calligraphy business from home can be scary, I've been there! I've designed a course and special bonuses to help you get started, create a solid plan, understand how you are going to make both passive and active income, and get your first paid clients.

If you are a fellow creative entrepreneur and are struggling to grow your business, then read on!

What I’ve learned most over these last few years of being a creative and building my online business is; how to focus on important tasks, managing my time so I’m not working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and lastly how to rely on those around me for support and advice!

In reality, the business path can be both rewarding and challenging. When you’re keen to engage with your creative ideas and let the inspiration flow through your mind and body, the last thing you want to be doing is to manage a business.

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you’ll know that I balance being a creative and being an entrepreneur, wearing many hats in-between. Becoming a creative entrepreneur can be an interesting clash of two worlds. On the one hand, you have a creative skill that you want to market, whether it's decorating people's homes, producing music or making jewelry. On the other hand, you need to put your business hat on, and get to work promoting your creative skills or products. Growing a business while also carrying on with your creative work can be tough, and require a lot of work. So how can you balance your creativity with your need to grow your business? Take a look at some of these tips.

Being an entrepreneur is hard work! When you've had a bad week and need to get yourself out of a slump, how do you find that inspiration to stay positive and keep going?! This week's note to self is a good tool! 

It wasn't until recently that I discovered a few great podcasts that I now tune-in to regularly.  Some I'd recommend specifically for creative entrepreneurs and some are just fun and interesting stories that inspire creativity in other ways.
