| 28 Oct 2024 | Episode 5: Prepare for the unplanned | 00:12:16 | |
Last week I had a real dose of reality when my daughter became unwell and as a result found myself scrabbling for ways to ensure my business kept running whilst I was solo parenting a poorly child. In this shorter episode I discuss 5 systems I have now put in place for when the unexpected happens if you're running a business on your own. Don't forget to be kind to yourself: if things happen in your personal life and you have to just pause your business completely, then you do what is best for you. I hope this episodes helps anyone running a business alongside parenthood and gives you a chance to put some automations in place before something goes unplanned.

| 19 Nov 2024 | Episode 7: Money Mindset & UK Tax Returns | 00:18:28 | |
Do you hate the maths side of your business? I did too, but keeping on top of your finances is really important especially when you've quit your part time job and are doing your business full time. In this episode I touch on a bit of money mindset, having a sexy cash flow forecast and I finish off with a bit of advice about submitting your UK cash basis tax return. I want you to feel empowered that you can do your accounts independently like I (sort of) can now, but if you need any professional advice then please seek the advice of a qualified accountant.

| 06 Feb 2025 | Episode 13: Don't Solely Rely On Social Media | 00:18:40 | |
Welcome back to Creative CEO. In this video, I discuss the importance of diversifying marketing strategies for artists beyond social media, especially Instagram. Despite not going viral for six months, my business thrives thanks to various other tools. I emphasise the significance of not putting all your eggs in one basket and explore powerful alternatives like word-of-mouth, excellent customer service, email lists, and face-to-face events. I also highlight the benefits of collaborations, both online and offline, and maintaining a strong website with good SEO. By nurturing relationships and continuously engaging with clients, artists can build a loyal customer base and expand their reach. Leave me a review if you love this one!

After an unplanned break (thanks to chickenpox and a hectic event prep), I’m back to chat about my weekend at the National Equine Show! From live drawing on my stand to stepping into someone else’s, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone—and it’s given me the absolute buzz for live drawing. I’m sharing what went well, what I’ll tweak for next time, and why these big events are about so much more than just sales. Plus, a few lessons on making your stand stand out!

| 13 Mar 2025 | The 'If You're Not Working, You're Not Earning' LIE We Tell Ourselves | 00:18:47 | |
My brain is constantly lying to me. Ever since I quit my job, it has been telling me that 'if I'm not working, I'm not earning' and I know that this is a toxic mindset which has to change. In this episode, I let Chat GPT be my therapist and discuss how I can shift from this mindset. I also discuss reframing what passive income means in terms of running a solo business and set actionable steps that you can do today to stop yourself from feeling like you should always be working. I hope this episode can help people if you're feeling stuck in this mindset too. Find me on socials!

| 27 Mar 2025 | I'm Not Ashamed To Admit That I've Gone Full Circle And Landed Exactly Where I Started! | 00:25:50 | |
Everyone's journey is different and mine from art student to full time artist didn't go the way you may think it did. I have gone completely full circle and landed back into being an artist, but it took various turns and bumps in the road to get here. Along the way I studied Graphic Design, dabbled in Interior Design and up-cycling furniture, nearly started a wedding stationery business but landed in teaching. From then on, I made it my mission to run my own art business and this journey is what I talk about in this episode.

| 15 Apr 2025 | Guest Interview With Martha Lily Photography: ‘I Started My Business Aged 15!’ Setting Boundaries With Clients & Putting Yourself In Their Shoes For Content Ideas | 00:45:22 | |
For my first ever guest interview, I chatted to equine photographer Martha Lily about her own business journey which started aged 15! I took so much away from this interview, including:
Martha takes me through her journey from taking on the event photography side of her business from an early age, branching into client shoots and also going back into full time education whilst running a business. Martha has so many good points to raise about what it's truly like being self employed and some valuable advice when it comes to working with clients. I truly loved this conversation (and I loved being an interviewer!).
