In the past, I've seen clients get hung up on defining goals and a vision for themselves, especially if they're in a season of struggle and their life or business feels hard right now. It can be hard to envision something better. Which is why it can be helpful if you're feeling stuck about what you want, where you want to go, or what you believe is possible for yourself to think of someone you admire in business (your guideposts). In today's episode, I want to give you some questions to reflect on so you can find your guideposts and use this exercise to support you as you build a clear and intentional vision for what feels true and aligned for you during this stage of your life and business. I also share the five people (my guideposts) who inspire me to see what's possible for my life and business, too. Here are the five guideposts that I mentioned in the show:

Today’s guest is the brilliant Jen Carrington, who has taught me so much about doing work that truly fits around me. This interview is full of so much goodness! We spoke a lot about writing and developing a strong voice across a "content ecosystem", finding your “secret weapon” content, being creative outside of our work, starting a business young, and the mindset work that has led Jen to where she is now. "There’s a trap you can fall into as a business owner where you think your business is everything… a big thing I’ve learned is, my business is important but it’s not my whole life and there’s a whole version of me outside of this business that needs nurturing, and needs to play and explore." - Jen Carrington Some of the things we talked about: Loving your business like a marriage (even in the less fun times) How Jen developed such a strong voice Jen's content ecosystem, including blogging, podcasting & weekly newsletters Some of the newsletters we love and why Finding your "secret weapon" in your content ecosystem Attracting clients in a really organic way that feels good Being creative outside of your business Jen's favourite writers and books Our shared experience of starting a business young The mindset work that has led Jen to where she is now And saving for taxes!   For episode show notes & links, head to https://ruthpoundwhite.com/podcast/

I also ask her why she got into creative coaching and what it is that she loves about her work.

I chat to Jen Carrington about the power of creative coaching.

This isn't a standard episode because instead of all the normal stuff I reflect on the year that was 2017 and what I want to achieve in 2018 with the podcast, my company Provenance Craft Co. and with my designing under Fay Dashper-Hughes Designs. I have kept the show notes to a minimum and provided all of the links from the bits and bobs that I talked about in the episode.    This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co.  Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile.    If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon:   Clarity I have never done a 'word of the year' before, in part because that isn't something that usually motivates me.    On New Year's Day, Matthew and I headed off to have our annual review - we are very business focussed in our household. This involves pitching up at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park with our laptops, eating good local food and going for a walk around the grounds and deciding what we want more and less of in the following year.   In the weeks leading to the end of the year, I did A LOT of work on what I want to get out of the podcast, my business and designing in 2018.  A couple of days before we headed to Yorkshire, one word was popping up everywhere - CLARITY.   So, who am I to ignore something that keeps on presenting itself to me?  Clarity is my word for 2018.   To me it means the following: 1 - Being clear about what I want from the three elements of my business. 2 - Spending my time wisely/  More doing, less faffing. 3 - Planning what I think is achievable in a year - 12 podcasts, 12 designs, more of my own manufacturing. 4 - Being better at communicating with the crafting community. 5 - Improving my photography skills. 6 - Being creative for the sake of being creative and not always for the end goal of creating patterns or products. 7- Having a colour palette that is attractive to me and works across all three areas of my working life (podcast, online shop and designing) bringing clarity and consistency.  This is a massive step forward for me and helps me to understand that not liking rainbows, unicorns and pastels are actually acceptable. You would not believe the hours spent wondering why rainbows and unicorns leave me cold and even irritated at times.     By writing all of these things down and talking about them in Episode 25 I feel like I have kicked off the process of approaching 2018 with clarity.  I have told you what I am up to and now I feel accountable.  That would scare some people, but I am self-employed and work from home, I have no other way of making myself accountable.  You are my team.   So, to highlight the colour palette things, here are a couple of photos.  The first shows a lot of the yarn that I will be designing with this year.  The second shows the same yarn with the Autumn colour palette on top.  I bought/ received all of these yarns well in advance of gaining any understanding of the colour psychology seasons.  Hmmm, I seem to really like the Autumn colour palette...       Links to information So, here is what I have been reading, listening to, possibly even taking in through osmosis.   Things that have helped me get focussed for 2018 and beyond: 1 - Sara Tasker from 'Me & Orla' has a beautiful instagram account, is a Social Media Influencer and I really like her down to earth approach.  2 - Sara also does the Hashtag Authentic podcast which has been invaluable to me so far and will continue to be this year. 3 - There are a few guests that Sara has had on that have really hit home for me, starting with Fiona Humberstone from The Brand Stylist.  The podcast that I linked in number 2 will take you to that interview.  Here's the page on the Psychology of Colour.  There is just enough detail here to get your teeth into and you can buy Fiona's book if you need to know more.  I am an Autumn person.  I knew this already but reading this information and looking at the colour palette really helped to cement this for me. 4 - Tara Swiger, is very au fait with the yarn community and helps crafting and other businesses to move to the next level.  I haven't delved into lots of Tara's information yet, but I will be. 5 - Jen Carrington also did a great interview on 'The Glorification of Being Busy' which is worth a listen too. 6 - Photography course with Shaw Academy - I am currently doing the free introduction to photography which is online.  I have also previously done the online course from Making Light and they currently have a free taster course running.   Here are most of my finished objects from 2017.  I crocheted and knitted just over 10kg of yarn, most of which was crocheted.    I think that is enough for now.   In February you will get my normal podcast and less talk of clarity and focus.   Fay x   Instagram: Crochet_Circle_Podcast  Instagram: provenance.craft.co   Instagram: FayDHDesigns YouTube: The Crochet Circle Podcast Crochet Clan on Mighty Network: Invite

"We think our worth is from how hard we burn ourselves into the ground." This week I caught up with my friend and creative coach Jen Carrington for one of the whirlwind conversations we always have when we're together. We both talk fast and dive into tangents, so this is a much more informal natter than the usual 'interview' you might be used to here, but it's jam-packed with insight, experience and hopefully, things to make you nod and smile along. Jen and I also share details towards the end of a very exciting new joint podcast project we have planned for the New Year!

Tara Mohr is a columnist, coach, writer and speaker who helps women live to their full potential and find their own personal fulfilment. Her book, Playing Big was recommended to me by Jen Carrington, and I was so inspired by its wisdom, wit and uncommon common sense that I immediately knew you all needed to hear from her, too.

Jen Carrington is a coach for big-hearted creative business owners based in Manchester, UK. We first met when she was launching her coaching business and I was looking to take my blog a bit more seriously, and three years down the line we've both learned and grown an awful lot. In this episode we reflect on the lessons that business and money have taught us both, and Jen shares the secrets of structuring a working week for the self employed.

For the last episode of Season 3 I thought it would be fun to switch things up and for the first time ever on the show put me in the hot seat as the interview guest instead of being the interviewer. I have been asking some awesome creatives this season about how they make things happen in their business and I thought how better to end this season than answering those questions myself. And when I thought about who best to interview me I thought who better than my other half Alex, who is also the other half of this show too as behind the scenes he is the one editing and producing this show so it can actually be brought to life each week. Season 4 will be here in early 2017, but until then thank you so much for listening to the show this season and I hope you enjoy this last episode!

Jen's definition of success: I feel successful if I have a business that is impactful, fulfilling, and sustainable.  I want to feel like my work is meaningful and bigger than just me. Things we chat about with Jen: lifestyle stability is just as important as financial stability being the best version of herself and not talking short cuts limitations are not obstacles needing to be the best version of herself for her coaching clients do the work, because she doesn't want to let her team down approaching her business in a restful way, which she felt like she didn't have permission to do for a while being intentional, not being work shy, and doing the grunt work books jen mentions: The effortless everyday & essentialism

What We Talked About: Transitioning from portfolio building/spec work to getting paid How we did it, how fast we did it, and how we would do it differently One size does not fit all Don't give your work away for free If people want to pay for your work, let them The difference between practicing & portfolio building Consider the time, material cost, talent, communication, etc that goes into your work (aka how to set price) Being uncomfortable with your pricing is totally fine Who to portfolio build with in the beginning & why Who to portfolio build with for forever & why (hint: other creatives) Offering a new service does not mean you are portfolio building Practicing is different than portfolio building Being careful with working for "exposure" Working well under pressure & why pressure is not a negative thing Testing the waters with portfolio building Charging your clients means you will serve them better We repeat: Putting a value on your work means you produce better work Be excited for the next phase of your business if you're in the portfolio building stage!

Let's catch up! Today we're sharing a few quick updates on what's new in our Space to Face world. We're talking: - Our new Instagram - Our epic Phoenix reunite that is about to happen - Our episode on Jen Carrington's Make it Happen podcast - The new offerings we're creating for you! - Interviews coming up on the Finding Arizona podcast

What We Talked About: Interviewing Jen Carrington, content coach & creative mentor & blogger extraordinaire How Asia started working with Jen, and how her coaching changed Asia's blogging life Discovering you are a creative person, and realizing that "creativity" doesn't have to mean what it means for everyone else Starting a blog about *anything* is a great way to start "You can affect someone with what you create." Finding your strengths & running with them "Coaching isn't telling someone what to do, it's making the space for that person to figure out what they want to do." Giving yourself permission to be good at something The confidence you have to say "I don't know" The difference between faking it til you make it and only selling what you can deliver Starting a business young & being "ballsy" Not having to use your blog to prove you're an expert Having a voice amongst the noise Not having to be the loudest voice to be heard "When I'm creating content, I'm not trying to be someone else." "Strong content creation comes from strong intuition with your content." Putting your brand at your core Listening to yourself to lead your content "It's a muscle you have to work on." Extroversion doesn't equal confidence; authentic doesn't mean outgoing Advice for those of you drowning in noise, or being burnt out in content "Strip it back to basics" "What am I trying to say in this season of life" You stifle your best content by worrying about content strategy You don't have to care about equipment/tech tools/the how as much as you have to care about the why Being an introvert does not mean being isolated For the millionth time, creative friendships are INTEGRAL in the creative business owner's life Writing a blog post for one person Being okay with charging what you know you're worth Good for you, not so good for me. That's okay to say! Round 2 of this episode will be on Make It Happen podcast!
