"We are not here to simply work, pay bills, and die. We are here to enjoy the journey. Sharing our art and creativity makes the journey more fun, and that energy ripples out to everyone we touch." – Nicole Gariepy
Going deep into the heart of what it truly means to be a creative entrepreneur in this episode. As creatives, we operate in such a different space than traditional business models. We can’t always rely on a rigid structure to show up the same way every day—creativity thrives on nurturing, space, and flow. I’ll share how I’ve learned to manage my energy, honor my cycles, and optimize my creativity over the years as a solo business owner.
Key Takeaways:
- Creativity Needs Space: Unlike transactional work, creativity is not a constant output. It thrives when we give it room to breathe and evolve.
- The Flow of the Creative Cycle: Different seasons of life and business call for different approaches. In busy times, creative work might take a backseat, and that's okay.
- We Are Human: The rigid structures of a 40-hour workweek don’t align with how creatives function. It's important to honor your body and mind and realize that showing up in the same capacity every day isn’t realistic.
- Boundary Setting is Essential: As your business grows, so does the importance of knowing when to say no. For creatives, especially those doing custom work, it’s critical to manage your capacity and avoid burnout.
- Your Own Personal Growth Journey: Running a business is one of the ultimate personal development paths. It teaches you lessons in boundaries, self-care, and alignment with your truest needs.
- Supporting Creativity with Routines: Having a solid morning routine that includes movement and a spiritual practice can set the foundation for a creative and productive day. Discover what works for you and prioritize it.
- Inspiration is a Gift: We are conduits for creativity—allowing the divine spark to manifest through us. It’s important to give yourself time and space to receive inspiration.
- The Ripple Effect: When you’re passionate and lit up about what you’re creating, that energy is contagious. The more we share our creativity with the world, the more we inspire others to do the same.
