Carving Your Own Creative Path with Jasmine Childress
Manage episode 365007057 series 3441637
Many creatives wish to control their own destiny, to strike out on their own and start their own business. In theory, this often sounds like a dream scenario, but in reality, most people are scared to leave their day job in pursuit of something new.
However, for the few that do take the leap forward and stick with it long term, we’ve found that there are certain skills and experiences they possess that lead to success. Entrepreneurship certainly isn’t for everyone, especially if you are going down the path of being a solopreneur in the beginning stages.
In today’s episode, we are joined by Jasmine Childress, founder of Eight Thirty Seven, a creative and technology agency that specializes in working with women-led companies to build strong brand pillars and online experiences. Listen in as we pull back the curtain on setting boundaries and expectations with clients, how to handle slow seasons, and what it takes to be successful as a creative solopreneur,
Listen in as we speak about:
- Prospecting for new clients
- Developing relationships with other creatives
- Building up your confidence in your creative abilities over time
- The courage it takes to raise your prices and how necessary this is
And much, much, more!
