199 - There are 4 Creative Business Types, Discovering Yours Changes Everything

The first couple years of my creative career were about 99% CREATIVITY and 1% CAREER. Spoiler alert, that balance did not work! After crashing and burning, I was finally inspired to give the career / business side a serious effort.

It was this season of my life that I stumbled upon a framework that completely changed my business. I want to share this discovery with you and it's my hope that it has an even greater impact on your creative career.

This episode also includes my top recommendations for business books and specific business podcast episodes, as well as practical tips on the art of pricing.
