Last week, I found myself interviewing Cath Kidston in front of 50 creative entrepreneurs, and whilst I could tell you all about her incredible journey, what's more valuable is understanding how I came to be on that stage in the first place. The truth is, you cannot build a creative business in isolation. Behind every successful creative entrepreneur I know is a network of genuine relationships that have amplified their voice and opened doors to opportunities they never could have created alone. This isn't about becoming a networking machine - it's about being intentional with your connections whilst staying true to your values.   Key Moments: [03:07] The foundation of business growth - why clear messaging comes before everything else [05:47] Meeting Sophie Perkins and how genuine relationships develop naturally over time [07:22] The internal battle between fear and opportunity - why I nearly said no [08:12] The extensive preparation behind a 30-minute interview and why it matters [09:29] The real return on investment from collaborative opportunities [11:15] Why viral moments aren't the goal - understanding what actually builds your business [12:34] The five-part framework for authentic networking and collaboration [14:40] How comfort zones limit business growth and why fear often signals opportunity [15:59] Practical next steps for building meaningful professional relationships   Notable Quotes: "Comfort zones are not where businesses grow. They're where businesses stay exactly the same." "You cannot build a creative business in isolation.

Are you overwhelmed not because you're doing too much, but because you're essential to everything, everywhere? In this episode, I reveal the 4 hidden signs that you're the bottleneck in your own business - and why this isn't a time management problem, it's an energetic structure problem. You'll discover why you can never actually finish your work, why delegation keeps bouncing back to you, and how to transform from being energetically essential to everything into being strategically essential to the right things. I share my personal story of working every Sunday while 8 months pregnant, and how I built systems that allowed me to take 5 months of maternity leave (twice!) without my business falling apart. If you're tired of being the person everything runs through, this episode will show you exactly how to build a business that flows instead of drains.

What I've discovered about creative entrepreneurs who are thriving is fascinating. They're quietly stepping away from doing things like everyone else and building businesses that actually work for them. This isn't just about being different for the sake of it; it's about recognising what you're naturally brilliant at and having the courage to build everything around that foundation. In this episode, I share real examples of creative entrepreneurs who've broken industry "rules" and seen remarkable results. From the textile artist who stopped trying to do everything and focused entirely on commercial installations, to the food photographer who specialised in capturing the story behind family recipes - each found success by asking one simple question: "What am I naturally better at than most people?" This quiet revolution is creating businesses that are more distinctive, more profitable, and infinitely more energising for their owners. When you structure your business around your authentic strengths rather than industry expectations, everything transforms, your confidence, your marketing, your client relationships, and yes, your income.   Key Moments: [05:42] The rebellion against "best practices" and why following everyone else's approach might be limiting your potential.  [07:01] Why the old rules don't serve creative entrepreneurs and the interior designer who transformed her business by recognising her hidden strength [09:55] The question that changes everything: "What am I naturally better at than most people?" [11:05] Building your business like architecture: structuring everything around your natural advantage [13:21] The energy revolution that happens when you work with your natural current instead of against it [15:20] Permission granted - why you don't need anyone's approval to build your business differently [16:34] The compound effect of individual shifts creating positive change across the creative economy [17:30] Your next move: Your own quiet revolution   Notable Quotes: "What feels effortless to you is often extraordinary to others. Your 'common sense' is actually accumulated wisdom and natural intuition that others lack." "The creative entrepreneurs who are building something truly distinctive aren't following the crowd, they're following their strengths."   Resources Mentioned: Direct link: The Base Notes handbook Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: What's one area of your business where you've been following someone else's approach instead of trusting your own instincts?

Discipline Is the Product: The Truth About Building a Business That LastsIn this episode of The Raquel Show, I dive into a powerful truth that came up during a recent coaching call—and it's something every entrepreneur needs to hear:

If you've ever found yourself panicking over a slow sales month and spiraling into self-doubt—this episode is for you. April takes us behind the scenes of a real coaching conversation with a business owner convinced her business was falling apart... only to discover, it was just a predictable cycle. In this episode, you'll learn how to stop reacting emotionally to every dip, zoom out to see your patterns, and plan your growth accordingly. Because your business isn't broken—it might just be winter. What You'll Learn: Why most small business owners are blind to their own business cycles The difference in mindset between a $3M company and a $10M+ company How to track patterns to reduce panic and plan more strategically What to stop doing when things get slow How your emotional state is tied to your P&L (and how to cut that cord) Golden Quotes: “Profits up? I'm a genius. Profits down? I should've gone to law school.” “You're not screwing up your business. You're just in a cycle. Don't burn the house down.” “Strong marketing makes for easy sales. Weak marketing makes for hard sales.” “Don't try to fix everything from street view. Step back—look from the satellite view.” Action Steps: Zoom Out: Review your sales and lead data from the past 2–3 years. Spot trends—your slow seasons, your peaks. Plan With the Cycle: Use slow months for R&D, training, or backend projects. Don't launch major systems when you're in a sales sprint. Know Your Triggers: Recognize when you start to spiral emotionally. Your business isn't broken—your expectations might just be misaligned. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Running a creative business can feel remarkably isolating. While friends and family are wonderfully supportive, they don't always understand the specific challenges of pricing creative work, the vulnerability of putting your designs into the world, or the constant balance between creativity and commerce. What I've discovered is that when you connect with other creative entrepreneurs who truly get it, something transformative happens. In this episode, I share how creative business community completely changed my approach to entrepreneurship, why business networking for creatives looks different from traditional networking, and how to build supportive professional relationships that accelerate your creative business growth.   Key Moments: [02:44] Why running a creative business can feel so isolating, even with supportive friends and family [05:17] The turning point: How connecting with other creative entrepreneurs transformed my confidence and business approach [08:28] My recent peer group that changed everything - how 90% of my current projects came from community conversations [11:40] Why business networking for creatives looks different: balancing artistic integrity with commercial success [14:24] The surprising hesitations about joining creative communities (and why they're worth pushing through) [19:33] How creative community supports each stage of building your business - from overcoming limiting beliefs to confident pricing [21:25] Practical ways to build your own creative business community when you're starting from scratch [22:55] The ripple effect: How supporting each other elevates the entire creative economy   Notable Quotes: "The creative entrepreneurs who thrive aren't necessarily the most talented or the most business-savvy - they're often the ones who've built strong communities that support their growth and hold them accountable to their potential." "When creative entrepreneurs support each other's success, it creates a ripple effect that elevates the entire creative economy."   Resources Mentioned: Registration: Link To Book Live Sessions  Direct link: The Base Notes handbook Read: This Week's  Full Journal Post Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: What's been your experience with creative community?

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery… I reflect on a powerful moment that unfolded on Camelback Mountain—me, surrounded by 25 people who are all fighting for something greater. That climb wasn't just a hike. It was a metaphor for what this life is really about: choosing the hard things, getting uncomfortable, and proving to yourself that you can handle more. Camelback is no joke. You feel it in your legs, your lungs, your thoughts. But it teaches you—if you're willing to pay attention. Just like this business. Just like this life. I've been doing this for 21 years. That's 21 years of doubt, resistance, setbacks, and the heavy weight of comparison. There were days when I questioned if anything would ever work. Times I looked at others and felt like I was falling behind. And even today, when I post success or share a win, I know some people get triggered. One guy even commented, “Y'all too much new money. Quit showboating.” And I get it. But here's what he—and maybe others—don't understand: this is new money. Not inherited. Not luck. I wasn't handed tools or a roadmap. I had to build all of it from scratch. And what you see now? That's the result of sacrifice, consistency, and refusing to play the victim. I used to live in survival mode—where a $50 cable bill felt like the end of the world. And I've watched people give up on big dreams over something like a $75 office fee. That's not a money problem. That's a mindset problem. And I had to crush those patterns to become who I am today. A journal entry from 2018 reminded me just how far I've come. I was overwhelmed. Depressed. Losing agents. Losing momentum. I wrote, “You want good? It's not easy. You want more? It's not easy. You want success? It's not easy.” But I kept showing up. I changed my thoughts, and with that, I changed my reality. So if you're in a moment where you feel behind, not good enough, not smart enough—hear me: you're not stuck. You're not broken. You just have to take that next step, even if it's small. Even if it's scary. And if your growth is triggering people around you? That's okay. Your purpose is louder than their opinions. Let them talk. You keep moving.

What do Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, and Mandy Keene have in common? They're all high-level thinkers—but Mandy's the one helping the other two level up. In this enlightening episode, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with long-time friend and legendary performance coach Mandy Keene to explore the invisible roadblocks holding even the most successful entrepreneurs back. From imposter syndrome to misunderstood personality types, Mandy breaks down the truth behind what really drives high performers—and what secretly slows them down.With over 25 years of coaching experience, Mandy shares how growing up in a “self-help household” led her to become a coach at just 21. She dives into her work with understand.me, a platform that layers multiple personality assessments to help entrepreneurs lead better, build stronger teams, and operate in full alignment with their core strengths. Tyler and Mandy swap insights, jokes, and truths about the mental games entrepreneurs play—and how knowing your strengths isn't just self-help fluff, but an actual business advantage.The episode also takes a heart-centered turn as Mandy opens up about her recent divorce and how she reframed it not as a failure, but a graduation. She discusses the power of support systems, why even coaches need coaching, and how vulnerability and leadership go hand-in-hand. If you've ever wondered why success sometimes still feels unfulfilling, or how to finally lean into your unique genius, this conversation will absolutely resonate.------Top TakeawaysEven high performers battle fear and shame. Imposter syndrome isn't a beginner problem—many seven- and eight-figure entrepreneurs still face it daily.Personality isn't the whole picture—but it's a powerful starting point. Mandy explains how tools like DISC, Myers-Briggs, and Enneagram layered together give a holistic view of someone's “entrepreneurial avatar.”Your biggest growth might be in the place you're resisting the most. Whether it's leadership, team building, or confronting personal setbacks, the real magic happens when you lean into the discomfort.------Chapters00:00 Introduction to Performance Coaching02:45 The Journey to Becoming a Performance Coach04:52 Understanding Imposter Syndrome08:37 The Importance of Personality Assessments11:57 Leveraging Strengths for Success20:59 Leadership Challenges for Entrepreneurs24:14 Redefining Failure and Seeking Support27:47 Personal Aspirations and Future Goals

After months of development, I'm revealing the complete framework that transforms struggling creative businesses into thriving ones.

Brian chats with Masami Sato, founder and CEO of B1G1 (Buy1GIVE1), a Certified B Corporation that empowers businesses to make giving an inherent part of every business transaction. As an experienced social entrepreneur and speaker, Masami champions the "Power of Small" -- the belief that even the smallest acts of giving, when done consistently and collectively, can create meaningful change. In this episode, Masami shares how her entrepreneurial spirit drove her to create B1G1 and how staying rooted in her mission helped her build a business that supports more than 450 high-impact projects across 50 countries. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses keep showing up for their purpose. Masami believes that every founder can start a business with an idea to solve a particular challenge or address an opportunity. However, mission-driven businesses stay committed to their original purpose over time. “Mission-driven businesses continue to show up and make decisions based on that original mission, rather than getting sidetracked by all other things,” Masami said. A strong mission can't be replaced. Today's entrepreneurs have a unique opportunity to lead with their mission, according to Masami, since it's one part of the business that can't be replicated or automated by AI. The mission is also what attracts aligned customers, team members, and partners to the company. “Mission is the part that cannot be replaced by other things,” Masami said. “That's where the greatest opportunity lies.” Start small and build a consistent impact. Masami's mission for B1G1 actually started as a question: What if every time business is done, something great happens to create a better world collectively? As the owner of a food company at the time, Masami's answer was to donate one meal for every meal she sold. That small act grew into a much larger business idea and led Masami to create a platform of impact-driven business entrepreneurs who integrate impact and kindness into their everyday business actions. “We realized that there is opportunity for other businesses like us,” Masami said. “Over the last nearly 18 years, businesses working with us have created more than 365 million impacts in the world.” Letting go is different than giving up. Masami shared her powerful story of resilience, including starting a business while raising a newborn, navigating financial hardship, and even giving birth to her second child in her commercial kitchen sink. Her turning point came when she chose to let go of her growing food business in order to fully commit to B1G1. “Letting go and giving up are different things,” she said. “I decided to sell our business and put everything into this idea to start the B1G1 enterprise.” Resources + Links Ashlee Sang: Website, LinkedIn, X B1G1:  Website, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast  Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

Do you find yourself mentally "switching hats" between your creative work and business tasks? Have you ever felt that business systems somehow constrain your creative freedom? You're certainly not alone. In this episode, I explore what happens when we stop seeing business and creativity as opposing forces and instead allow them to genuinely enhance each other. I share real examples of creative business owners who have applied their creative thinking to pricing, client relationships, business systems, and more, discovering that true success comes not from compartmentalising, but from bringing their creative sensibility to every aspect of their work.   Key Moments: [04:07] The false dichotomy between creativity and business that limits creative entrepreneurs [08:35] How approaching business decisions as creative opportunities transforms results [14:19] Why well-designed business structures actually enhance creative freedom rather than restrict it [16:39] The powerful shift in client relationships when you apply creative thinking to every touchpoint [20:25] Transforming your pricing and business model to authentically reflect your creative approach [24:41] The integration mindset: using your existing creative strengths in business decisions [28:45] The natural confidence that emerges when your business truly reflects who you are   Notable Quotes: "When I stopped trying to be 'business-like' in a way that felt foreign to me and instead brought my design sensibility to every aspect of my business, everything got easier. Not because the work became less challenging, but because it all finally felt like mine."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's   Full Journal Post Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter The Base Notes Handbook: Join The Waitlist Survey Ref: 2024 SalesForce survey on customer experience Survey Ref: McKinsey study on personalisation and revenue Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: Where do you currently feel a disconnect between your creative work and business aspects?

Dan Rochon sits down with serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist Jeremy Delk to reveal how to identify business opportunities hiding in plain sight. From losing $2 million in four days to building multi-exit companies, Jeremy shares raw lessons about pattern recognition, authenticity, and why most people never make their ideas real. This episode is your backstage pass to understanding how investors really think and how you can get in the room.What you'll learn on this episodeUntapped markets aren't always new sometimes they're old industries approached differently.Most people fail not because of bad ideas, but because of a lack of belief and clarity.Business success starts with solving people's problems, not chasing trends.Pattern recognition is learned from losses, not textbooks.Transparency in leadership attracts capital and people masking your weaknesses repels both.Markets reward disruption especially when others say “that's how it's always been done.”Real growth starts when you stop pretending to be perfect and start owning your gaps.At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: real business success comes from clearly communicating value and solving real problems. If you're working to sharpen that clarity in your own business, Dan's upcoming book Teach to Sell offers a practical framework to help you attract clients and opportunities by leading with what you know.

In this solo episode, host Kat — artist, certified coach, and founder of Create! Magazine — speaks directly to those navigating the in-between seasons of life and creativity: when the vision is clear, but momentum feels slow, and nothing seems to be moving fast enough. From reframing your challenges to trusting the pruning seasons, this episode is a reminder that you're not going backwards — you're evolving. You'll learn how to stop over-identifying with obstacles, use tools like anchoring and “living as if,” and incorporate creative rituals like walking in nature to regulate your nervous system and reignite your vision. Kat also explores the concept of mental hygiene, reducing negativity, and cultivating a mindset that nurtures expansion instead of fear. This conversation is here to help you zoom out, reconnect with your inner knowing, and take aligned, empowered action — especially when the path ahead feels unclear.
