Your Fear is Not Special
01/17/24 • 19 min
If you’re afraid to follow your creative dreams, I’m going to give you some perspective today that will totally DISARM your fear (and it’s not what you might think).
I’ve been encouraging people to go after their creativity in the form of calligraphy for 8 years now. I’ve sold courses that cost $500 or more – and I’ve also heard EVERY excuse under the sun why people don’t want to take that first step on their creative journey.
All those objections have one common thread – they are born out of FEAR.
Join me in this podcast as I share with you:
- The craziest objections I’ve heard born out of fear, and how people overcame them
- Why you should acknowledge your fears, but not let them run the show
- How to find YOUR own definition of creative success
- How to utilize your fear objectively as a tool rather than run away from it
I hope this episode shows you that your fear is not that special – or unique for that matter. Don't buy its bullshit, and certainly don’t let it keep you from your dreams.
My FREE “Newbie to Pro Calligrapher” Challenge is going on RIGHT NOW through January 19th!! I'm teaching daily calligraphy lessons throughout the week that culminate in my LIVE webinar - where I show you how to go from a totally new calligrapher to owning your own business in SIX MONTHS!
There is still time to catch up & join in on the fun - all for FREE! Register HERE!

$1000 from her first Product Launch!
Genell of @speciallyinked is a BRUSH PEN calligrapher (yes, not all calligraphers use pointed pen!) who started her calligraphy journey as a fun venture - unaware of her savvy marketing skills at the time.
She had never really thought of herself as “creative”. But after taking my Modern Calligraphy 201 course (and showing her friends her progress along the way) Genell finally gained the confidence she needed in her abilities... just not her “business abilities”...
After setting down her brush pen for 2 WHOLE YEARS doubting she could pull off launching her own business, she picked it back up on a whim to create a card for a baby shower. Little did she know that simple card would be what reignited her passion to pursue her business dreams once again.
Join me as Genell and I discuss:
- How tapping into your friends as a creative resource can also cultivate your following at the same time
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect and why starting a business can leave you deep in the Valley of Despair
- How the quest to be perfect is SILLY, and figuring it out messy is still figuring it out
- Genell’s very first launch and how it went – from product, to pricing, to sales – and what gave her the guidance she needed to pull it off!
If you’ve ever wanted to start a business but gotten stuck one way or another, you DON’T want to miss this powerful episode!
