    New Podcast Live— On today’s episode I chat wi New Podcast Live— On today’s episode I chat with a good friend, colleague and fellow creative, the wonderful @inspiredtowrite It’s less of a teaching and more of an honest & raw chat between two friends in the business game together. Sharing some of the struggles of working for yourself, juggling expectations with self care and some insights and tips on how to set boundaries, take time off and find new ways of doing business that will ensure you’re energy & inspiration levels don’t take a back seat. Amie is my ‘go-to source for straight up business advice’ and I couldn’t imagine doing business without her wisdom, friendship, support and refreshing authenticity. Link in bio —enjoy the episode. #startupcreative
    Needed this today—The overwhelm & procrastinatio Needed this today—The overwhelm & procrastination is REAL! A lot of people ask me when is the right time to start their business or make a move on a dream or goal they have. My response is NOW! If it’s alive in you, it’s most likely meant for you. Don’t wait, the timing will never be just right. Even if it’s baby steps in the direction of that dream or goal, take it. Any action is better than no action and at the risk of sounding like one big inspirational quote, it really is true that businesses won’t build themselves. Trust me, I know it’s hard and some days you really don’t feel like it & you’ll convince yourself that you can’t. But if you can take action, you’re in the game, you’re learning and you’re giving yourself the best possible chance at making it work. No matter what you’re working towards or dreaming of, ask yourself why you’re doing it and how bad do you want it? Start small, momentum is key. #startupcreative
    THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION I GET ASKED... How do I ac THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION I GET ASKED... How do I actually start my business? In most business or social settings I find myself in these days where people find out that I am a business coach, I more often then not end up in a corner with someone who has an idea for a business or side hustle and/or are completely over their job and want to find a way to work for themselves. Don't get me wrong, these conversations are the very reason I started StartUp Creative back in 2014. I saw the growing desire of those around me to finally want to start their own business or take action on an idea they've had for a while now. The problem was, no one knew where to start and most found a lot of business advice overwhelming which stoped them from taking action. And so, StartUp Creative was born, your go-to source for straight-up business advice. My passion has and always will be making business advice practical, digestible and relatable. Without the lingo, fuss and intimation factors that are so often are found in the world of business. I truly believe with my entire being that if you want to make an idea a reality you can, you just have to want it bad enough and be willing to do the work. It may not be the idea you had in mind from the beginning but in my experience JUST STARTING is the quickest way to find out if your idea has legs and if there is someone willing and able to spend money on what you have to offer. Then you have yourself a business we can work with. For the last 6 years I've been hosting webinars, talks, workshops and podcasts to give those of you with an idea a playbook to help make it a reality. It was so helpful to thousands of people around the globe that it eventually lead to my book publishing deal on this vey topic. It was so popular that I recorded the 'How to Actually Start Your Business Masterclass' for those of you who are in you're first few years of business or are starting with an idea to help them start. A 90 min masterclass will give you the tools, mindset and actionable task to help you better understand how business works & how to get in the game. Last chance to grab the masterclass—link in bio—
    I love seeing creatives chase their dreams! In par I love seeing creatives chase their dreams! In particular the incredible @thehonestjones who is self publishing her very first book (one of many to come I suspect). Most people will sit back and dream of writing a book and expect the process to be easy and that it will open many doors for them. In actual fact, it’s hard bloody work and takes a lot of guts! I’ve seen first hand the amount of hustle, passion and vulnerability Amanda has put into this book and I know how damn scary it is to take the leap and share your life’s work with the world. I’m so proud of @thehonestjones & this incredible masterpiece she has created. I was lucky enough to hold it in my hands & I can honestly say it’s amazing and a true reflection of what it’s like being a creative freelancer/entrepreneur/startup. So many artists create abundantly for free, especially here on the gram. Let’s get behind them and show them how valuable they are and how much the world needs what they bring to the table. Head on over to @diaryofafreelancer_____thebook to preorder your copy of this book & help Amanda make her dream a reality. In true @thehonestjones form she’s even included a free letterpress quote from the book & free shipping if you order by today. Can not wait for my copy to arrive & see these words travel the globe. Congrats on this baby of yours Amanda—you’re an AUTHOR!! #startupcreative
    Do something today your future self will thank you Do something today your future self will thank you for. Even if it’s one tiny step in the direction of your dreams. Eventually those tiny steps will add up and this time next year you’ll be able to look back and be proud of how far you’ve come. Goals are not achieved over night. They are a result of a daily commitment to moving forwards. Some days it will be leaps and bounds and others, a slow crawl. What matters most is that you don’t lose sight of the dream, even if it feels like you’re getting nowhere and that at any minute you could collapse in a ball and not go on even an inch further. That’s ok too. Rest a while and know that tomorrow is a new day. Hold firm to your vision and trust that life is happening for you and all is unfolding exactly as it should. #startupcreative
    PODCAST DROP 🎙 Fresh episodes now live! It’s PODCAST DROP 🎙 Fresh episodes now live! It’s been a big few months behind the scenes here at StartUp Creative. From juggling my personal life, showing up for our community with quality content, some dream speaking gigs, prepping for a book launch and the constant battle of taking down time to refuel my energy whilst keeping up with the demand has had me bed ridden, overwhelmed and struggling to find time to do it all. This last few days of non-stop rain in Sydney have been an absolute blessing to aid the urgent need to slow down, zoom out and reflect on the best way forward. Grateful for an amazing team of people around me and friends who keep me grounded and can help me to see a way through the what at times feels like a total mess. The perfect time to share these episodes that talk about the importance of boundaries, taking a few steps back in order to go forward and what it really takes to make a business successful. Check them out on @itunes & @spotifyaunz and thank you for your patience with me as a human being trying to do life & business to the best of my ability. It’s not always easy but I’ll continue to show up, learn and grow through the process with you and for you. Enjoy the podcast & I would love if you could take a moment to rate and review when you get a chance. Kay x #startupcreative

    Over the weekend I was honoured to contribute to @ Over the weekend I was honoured to contribute to @theageaustralia feature on ‘what the 26th of January’ means to an Indigenous person in Australia. (Quote is in the images above) It wouldn’t take you much time or effort to search the internet & find the real history of this country and how poorly our Indigenous mob have been treated. If you’re haven’t taken time to read the facts, watch the documentaries and understand the stories of what has happened and continues to happen to our First Nations people I highly suggest you make time TODAY— • @inmyblooditruns is a very real story about our white schooling system which I witnessed first hand living and working on Palm Island in my youth work days • the Four Corners episode ‘Australia’s Shame’ —depicts the appalling treatment of the 100% Indigenous population in the Northern Territory youth detention centres for which no white staff have been held accountable to this day. A very disturbing account but THE reality we must all know about. •Rabbit Proof Fence— a heartbreaking but again TRUE story of the stolen generation. • Sand Talk —book about what Indigenous culture & traditional ways of living I hope that we can continue to educate ourselves, have deep empathy, compassion for our Indigenous people who are still fighting for equal rights on their own land. We are over represented in the prison system and underrepresented in positions of influence on the very land we nurtured for 60,000 years. Indigenous people never colonised this land because they are one with it. There is a respect, an understanding, a dreaming and lessons to be learnt from her. We knew we did not own her nor needed to take unnecessarily from her. And because of that, it was taken and to this day never returned —but sold, mined, destroyed and disrespected. I hope now that Invasion Day has passed for another year, that we do not forget. That we all carve out time to help our Indigenous brothers and sisters rise, to have opportunities and to get ahead. To be seen, heard and respected for the wealth of knowledge and the rich history they carry in their blood. This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land. 🖤💛❤️
