Becoming Your Own Boss

Two hurdles I hear consistently holding creatives back are the:

  1. Pursuit of perfection.
  2. Lack of motivation to make moves.

When, in reality, we’re holding ourselves up with these internal conflicts that we can choose to sidestep at any time.

The people you look up to often deal with these—yet they refuse to let them distract them from chasing what they want.

Today’s guest, Elizabeth Gray of The Grayter Good, is living proof that finding success with your style is an ever-evolving process.

She’s an absurdly talented lettering artist, muralist, and illustrator with a combined audience of 750K+ followers (IG + TikTok).

Her biggest talent is showing herself in her content and in an incredibly entertaining, yet valuable way.

She’s also the author of her upcoming book: The Happy Homebody: A Field Guide To The Great Indoors. (Which is all about empowering the introverted creative.)

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

  • Overcoming the inner perfectionism dialogue.
  • Finding motivation within a routine.
  • Finding style through constraints, experimentation, and more.

The Goal: To provide a little insight on how to find your style and groove while setting yourself for breakthroughs along the way.

BONUS: The Next BIG Season of the Podcast

Side Hustler's Perspective with Coach Scotty Russell

play

03/02/22 • 33 min

If you’re a consistent listener or a newbie to the podcast, you know that I’m currently on a 2-month break...

This was supposed to be a quick little Bonus episode to update you on what to expect next...

As I started writing, it ended up turning into a journal...

NOT to explain to you why I’m taking this break...

But more to work out how things got to this point, while also convincing myself it’s OK (and necessary) to hit pause and reset.

It gives you a front-row seat in my head to understand how all this started as a passion project and the possibilities of what this could evolve into.

Let’s dive in.

Flipping the Switch from Hobbyist to Professional

Struggling to get started or taking the next steps in your professional freelance pursuits?

These tend to be the 4 biggest challenges holding back your sick gains:

  1. Systems
  2. Processes
  3. Routines
  4. Boundaries

In my opinion, these challenges are the behind-the-scenes work necessary to unlock your big breakthroughs and long-term success as a creative.

Today’s guest—James Martin of @Made.By.James—is a brand-by-hand-building juggernaut reigning in the UK.

He’s a wizard at showcasing his process within his content, which has helped him build client demand while educating his hungry, massive community (currently 220k+ on Instagram as of recording).

He’s also the author of his upcoming book: Your Honest Guide to Creativity and Logo Design.

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

  • The business side of this game.
  • How to avoid being stagnant and always learning.
  • His 5-step system for working with clients.
  • Streamlining processes and setting boundaries.
  • Promoting your work, logos, and more.

The Goal: To provide you with the next steps of flipping the switch from hobbyist to professional and taking control of your business.

I get hit up a lot with questions of, “How do I get started with my creative side hustle?”

There’s no one-size-fits-all instruction manual— it requires a lot of patience, experimentation, failure, and figuring it out along the way.

Hence the inspiration behind this 2 Part Series of How to Start & Scale Your Creative Side Hustle.

Many of these tips are interchangeable and overlap within different seasons of your creative hustle—it’s not necessarily a linear progression of each 12 steps in a row.

This is simply a framework to guide someone on a path that:

  • Reduces the guesswork and boosts clarity and confidence.
  • Provides balance and structure to leverage in the long-term.
  • Creates work they love while establishing boundaries for self-care and relationships.

Overall, take what applies to you as everyone’s path is unique.

Becoming Your Own Boss

The majority of people listening to the podcast aim to become their own boss one day.

To do so takes years of failing, experimenting, developing systems, and finding what works.

It’s not supposed to be easy—but the struggle is hella rewarding when things begin to click.

Today’s guest—Jimmy Bryant of Atomic Child Design—is a nature-inspired artist/brand slanging millions in merch across the land.

To say Jimmy’s story of “Washing dishes for $10/hour to becoming his own boss and making a killing off selling his work” is inspiring doesn’t do it justice.

I think you’ll find it fascinating as well.

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

  • Not chasing profits right away.
  • Operating with a chip on your shoulder.
  • Creating what you love and finding your niche.
  • Becoming your own boss
  • Selling merch, slow scaling, and more.

The Goal: To empower you with motivation and actionable steps for becoming your own boss one day.

Defiantly Go Against the Grain

Fear, self-doubt, anxiety, creative ruts, and frustration are all a part of pursuing your creativity on your own terms.

It’s an undisclosed waiver you sign when you pour your time and energy into building toward the unknown.

Just know you’re not alone with your struggles, and trusting the process is worth it!

Today’s guest—Peggy Dean of The Pigeon Letters—is a self-taught artist, author, and educator impacting the masses with her crafty talents and brilliant business brain.

She’s been featured by and worked with some of the biggest brands in the game: NBC, Martha Stewart, Skillshare, Google, Vogue, and more.

What I respect the most is her focus on serving and empowering the creative community.

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

  • Facing and embracing your fears.
  • Going against the grain.
  • The waiver you sign to pursue a side hustle.
  • The balance of structure with impulsiveness.
  • Productivity, corn mazes, and more.

The Goal: To let you know you’re not alone with your fears and struggles as you build your creative biz brick by brick.

NFT Creative Side Hustles

Whatever it is you want to pursue, a side hustle is a testing ground to make it happen.

You never know when all your weird quirks, interests, passions, and strengths will overlap into something far bigger than you imagined.

That seems to be the pattern with today’s guest—Peter Deltondo, Product Designer, Design Director, plus Partner with Unfold—a digital design agency crushing work for progressive industry-leading brands.

Peter also happens to be a crypto nerd and NFT collector like I am too.

It’s funny how these interests overlap with his work at Unfold and community-building through the Creative South Conference...

To create a one-of-a-kind, super hyped, but zero-shill, upcoming NFT project called Dronies.

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

  • The secret to doing your best work.
  • Leveraging side hustles to get to where you want to be.
  • Breaking down how NFTs are changing the game.
  • What is Web 3 and why you should care.
  • The upcoming Dronies launch, crypto, and more.

The Goal: To show you how to take control of your future by combining passions and interests through the power of side hustles.
