creative entrepreneurI am in one of those weird places as a creative entrepreneur that I actually think is quite normal to go through, yet so many of us when it happens think there’s something wrong. I have had tremendous clarity in terms of who I serve and what I do and the greater purpose of my calling here in the last six months to year. And with that clarity has come an intense amount of work!

I have:

  • Completely updated my automated system to better serve me and my customers and potential customers.
  • Implemented a course program that in my head I’ve been teaching for years but never organized it in a way that made sense.
  • Gained new clarity on price points and commitment from clients from true price points and earning what I deserve.
  • Put in new marketing and sales strategies in place to fully leverage what I do.
  • Began the branding clarity to the next level with writing blogs twice a week.

And WOW! I still have so much more to do! As a creative entrepreneur I have that overwhelming feeling right now, and although I KNOW what needs to be done, the creative energy seems sucked out of me.
What I’m feeling is the desire to hibernate. And I actually don’t think that’s a bad thing as long as I don’t do it for too long! Sometimes as a creative entrepreneur we need to back away from all the things we are working on to actually be more affective at them.

I am going to take a mini break and allow my fun and creativity just play. Nothing work related. I know, some would argue getting a chapter in my book done is creative! I just need to go on an adventure, or dig in the dirt in my garden.

What do you do as a creative entrepreneur when you are feeling overwhelmed?
