The Path to 10K Months as a Creative (and How to Keep Going When Things Gets Slow or Hard)
Notas do episódio
A slower season is not a sign to quit. In this solo episode, Kat gets radically honest about the past two years of her creative business: the highest highs, the hardest moments, and how she's recommitting to her goals after ten years of self-employment.
She also shares the principles and mindset shifts that helped her reach a six-figure business early on, and that she's using again to reach her next level.
In this episode:
- Why "trust recession" thinking can quietly take you out of the game
- Why life and business move in a spiral, not a straight line
- Following your joy and choosing the non-negotiables you'd do even if no one paid you
- Finding your "enough" number to cover the basics
- Setting clear goals that work like a ladder, and tracking them where you can see them
- Surrounding yourself with people and voices you want to model
- Why being a little delusional on purpose beats being "realistic"
- Investing in yourself, including hiring a coach when you feel stuck
- Believing in yourself when the numbers feel discouraging
