Being Boss: Mindset, Habits, Tactics, and Lifestyle for Creative Entrepreneurs

Are you showing up as an active participant in creating the kind of business and life you want? In today's minisode, Emily is expanding on an idea she discussed with Tara Gentile on the What Works podcast. Emily shares how being an active participant in the creation of the Being Boss book was the key to how it ultimately ended up as exactly what she wanted.

The Being Boss book is officially out in the world! In today's Being Boss episode, we're in celebration mode and we want to share ALL the behind-the-scenes to what it takes to envision, write, edit, design, record an audiobook, and bring a book into the world.

We've found that so many of the questions we get from emerging creative entrepreneurs centers around actually DOING the work. The thinking about it is easy, the dreaming and scheming is even delightful, but when it comes to DOING, we see a lot of hangups. This week Emily and Kathleen are over on The Secret Library Podcast and the Lady Books podcast talking about the process of writing the #BeingBossBook, and again, this question of "how do you actually DO it all?" came up. So in today's minisode, we're talking about the discipline of doing.

Whether you're just starting your business or well into your stride, nurturing and building connections as a business owner is everything, so we had to have business and relationship coach, Monique Melton, join us to talk all about it.

Do you have to be obsessed with your business in order to make it do? There's such a hustle/obsession culture in the startup world that seeps its way in the mindset of creative entrepreneurs, so in today's minisode, we're talking about separating obsession from a healthy, enthusiastic work ethic.

In today's minisode, Emily is expanding on an idea she discussed with Katie Hunt on the Proof to Product podcast.

We've noticed a trend of creative entrepreneurs adding more, more, more, but we're feeling like all these "value adds" are actually taking away from the value you provide. So in this minisode, we're talking about focusing your offering on its core value to really make that the best it can be.

We're launching a new podcast: Making a Business. So let's take a minute to get meta and talk about podcasting.

Kathleen was a guest on Jessica Murnane's One Part Podcast, where among other things, they talked about values and what happens if you feel a little embarrassed about your values.

Melyssa Griffin joins us on Being Boss for a vulnerable chat about overcoming blocks in your business when you have a scarcity mindset, creating a business that is in alignment with what you want to bring into the world, and how spirituality fits into it all.
