Big things. Little things.

What if we moved more intuitively in business?

The way we live and work is changing. To address the environmental and social crises we face, we must move away from the capitalist economic system. This will have dramatic ramifications for how we do business, how we work and how we spend our time - I believe, in a very positive way! This is the focus of the conversation today with Aime McNee: author, creative coach, book doula and host of the Unpublished Podcast.

In this discussion, we cover:

• Aime's traditional career background and experience of moving into a place of creative self-employment;
• Hitting: rock bottom - it's not always the worst thing;
• How to manage your time in self-employment;
• Aime's approach to managing finances in an "unpredictable" career;
• How to deal with "gatekeepers";
• Should you do "the thing" if other people are out there already doing "the thing" and doing it "better"?;
• How to price your offerings;
• Should you build community before you develop a product or offering?;
• Tools to navigate internal blocks - e.g. fear of failure / unworthiness / fear of judgement;
• I ask Aime how she knows when her creative projects are "aligned" with her soul's purpose;
• How to stimulate creativity and identify areas of enjoyment;
• Where do creative ideas come from?
• A bit of advice for creatives embarking on their own self-driven careers.
