Sound familiar? 🙃 BTW: Enrollment for The Club Sound familiar? 🙃 BTW: Enrollment for The Club is only OPEN for two more days! Doors close Sept 15. If you’ve ever gone to bed with big creative plans only to wake up paralyzed by overwhelm, you’re not broken. You’re human. And creative brains? They’re especially good at piling on 47 projects, a sprinkle of social anxiety, and a generous dash of perfectionism. That’s why I created The Club—a place for creative business owners who want support, accountability, and real talk (not hustle culture). Inside, we tackle the overwhelm together—with mentorship, expert workshops, co-working, and a community that gets it. ✨ Enrollment is OPEN through September 15. Don’t wait—once doors close, they won’t open again until the next launch. 👉 Comment CLUB to take a tour or join today.
Before I get to the red flags… let me say this: Before I get to the red flags… let me say this: you don’t have to do this alone anymore. 🚨 Enrollment for The Club is officially OPEN until 9.15 (then close for the year). Now, let’s talk about the 🚩 red flags holding your business back (and how to fix them). 🚩 You’re tired of doing it alone. You’ve pieced together advice from Google, free webinars, and late-night scrolling… but you still feel stuck. Isolation isn’t a strategy. 🚩 You keep saying “someday.” Your ideas live in notebooks, not in the world. You tell yourself you’ll take action when you’re more ready, organized, or confident. Spoiler: “someday” never shows up on its own. 🚩 You feel guilty for not doing enough. No matter how hard you work, you feel behind. That guilt? It’s not proof you’re lazy—it’s a sign your systems don’t fit the way you work. 🚩 You get excited about what’s possible… then freeze. You can picture a bigger, better version of your creative business—but without tools and community, that vision stays just that: a vision. 🚩 You’re scared… and also hopeful. That mix of nerves and excitement is the clearest red flag of all. It means you’re on the edge of growth—you just need support to cross it. Here’s the fix ⬇️ Inside The Club, you’ll get the mentorship, skills, accountability, and community to turn those red flags into turning points: ✨ 100+ on-demand workshops & mentorship replays ✨ 4 live monthly Zoom sessions (business class, mentorship, crafty hour, co-working) ✨ Goal-planning tools & accountability groups ✨ A supportive creative community that gets it 👉 Comment CLUB to take a tour or join. #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesssupport #craftbusinessowner #creativeentrepreneur
