🚨 Don’t miss this—especially the last one! 🚨 Don’t miss this—especially the last one! It’s the one most of us ignore. ✨ Comment “CLASS” to join my FREE goal-getting masterclass, and I’ll send you the details! 1️⃣ Your goals are too vague. “Start a business” is a wish, not a goal. Be specific: “Set up an Etsy shop and list 5 products by March.” 2️⃣ No plan. Big goals feel impossible without a roadmap. Break it into doable steps—trust me, winging it rarely works. 3️⃣ You’re inconsistent. Progress comes from showing up regularly, not bursts of inspiration. Small, steady steps win the race. 4️⃣ Perfectionism is running the show. Waiting for the “perfect” time? Stop. Starting messy beats not starting at all. 5️⃣ Fear is holding you back. Fear of failing, judgment, or trying something new? The only way to make it less scary is to start. 6️⃣ You’re flying solo. Sharing your goals keeps you accountable. Don’t go it alone—support changes everything. 7️⃣ You’re not checking in. Track your progress. Reflect. Celebrate wins. It keeps the momentum going. 🎯 Let’s fix this together. FREE Goal-Getting Masterclass Choose your date: 1/16 or 1/28. You’ll learn to: Define & assess your goals Bust through roadblocks Create a practical action plan 👋 Ready for the next step? Comment “GOAL” to join the waiting list for Camp, my six-week goal-getting bootcamp for creatives ready to ditch overwhelm and make real progress. You don’t need perfect. You just need to start. Let’s make it happen—together! #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #smallbusinesssupport #goalsetting #goalgetter #creativementor

Big changes, friends! Our Instagram handle has off Big changes, friends! Our Instagram handle has officially changed from @dearhandmadelife to @hellonicolestevenson. Our website is now HelloNicoleStevenson.com and has been redesigned by @iamthekatiemac, @leechdemon and me. I’m so excited and proud of the work we’ve done! While the name is shifting, the heart of what we do remains exactly the same: building community, offering support, and providing mentorship for creatives like you. This change reflects a more personal direction for me and for the spaces we’re creating. You’ll now have three places to connect with what matters most to you: ✨ @thepatchworkshow - Everything about our makers market and community festival Patchwork Show. 
✨ @craftcationconference - All things Craftcation, our annual conference for creatives. BTW: We have a handful of early bird tickets, grab one and have a life-changing week with us! 
✨ @hellonicolestevenson - A home for my reimagined podcast It’s Part of the Process, The Club (our online community for creative business owners), and CAMP (our six-week mindful goal-setting program). I’m so excited to share this next chapter with you. Thank you for being part of this journey and for letting me show up for you in this new way. Here’s to more connection, creativity, growth and embracing ourselves as the weird and wonderful creatives we are! 🎨🧵🌈🩵
Before I get into it, just a quick reminder that @ Before I get into it, just a quick reminder that @craftcationconference registration is closing soon! Trust me... it’s the best place on earth for creatives to try new things. Comment “CRAFTY” and I’ll send you more info. When was the last time you tried something totally new? I’m talking about the kind of thing that makes you feel awkward, unsure, and maybe even a little ridiculous—like learning a new skill, picking up a hobby outside your comfort zone, or saying yes to something that scares you just a little. Here’s the thing: trying new things isn’t just fun (though it can be); it’s also a secret weapon for your creative practice, business, and life. ✨ It rewires your brain. New experiences spark creative problem-solving and help you see challenges in a fresh way. ✨ It teaches resilience. Being bad at something (and doing it anyway) reminds you that mistakes aren’t failures—they’re how we learn and grow. ✨ It fuels your creativity. Exploring something outside your usual world can inspire new ideas and breakthroughs in your art, work, and life. So, here’s your nudge: try something new this week. Let it be messy, imperfect, and a little scary. You never know how it might spark your next big idea—or just remind you how fun it is to experiment without worrying about the outcome. What’s something new you’ve been wanting to try? Drop it below—I want to cheer you on! 🎉✨ #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #craftcation #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessowner #craftbusinessowner #trynewthings

Before I get into it, comment “CLASS” to join my FREE goal-getting class & and I’ll send you the details! 1️⃣ What’s one thing I actually want to focus on next year? Not all the things—just one. Maybe it’s finally launching that online course, saying “no” to projects that don’t excite you, or carving out time to create just for fun again. 2️⃣ What’s been holding me back this year? Is it your perfectionism? That never-ending scroll on Instagram? Trying to do everything yourself instead of asking for help? Naming it is the first step to overcoming it. 3️⃣ What’s one small step I can take now to make 2025 easier? Organize that chaos of a workspace, update your website, schedule your social posts for January, or even just buy the planner you’ve been eyeing (and actually use it). Progress doesn’t have to be huge to be impactful. 💡 These questions might not fix everything overnight, but they’ll help you step into 2025 with clarity—and maybe a little less chaos. What’s your answer to #2? Drop it below—and I’ll give a tip to help you overcome it. #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessowner #craftbusinessowner #mentor #goalsetting #goalgetter #newyeargoals
