Instagram Kickstart: 6 characteristics your posts should have to be successful.
If you’re having a hard time getting posting, use these to begin setting up your content. If you never know what to post, this will help you get moving. You’ll need to move forward to other aspects of social media, so don’t let this early step get you totally tripped up so you never get in and get your hands dirty (or tire your fingers from all the conversations).
So you want to work in (or run) a creative startup.
Maybe you want to work for a creative startup or you’re someone who wants to start one! Here’s a quick peek at my own and also the different types of small businesses that you could possibly start or join!
Getting started- The "Why should anyone care" Tool.
Not sure where to begin? Looking for the perfect name for your blog / podcast / business? Don’t fear, this simple tool will help you move forward in a fun + fresh way.
I don't check email until the afternoon. Here's why.
Before I did self-coaching around it, my inbox represented to me:
all the ways in which I was failing people by not getting back to them immediately
my lack of control over my inbox (why couldn’t I just keep it at zero!?)
my inability to organize properly
people’s disappointment in me (emails are just sitting there unanswered, “just like what people expect from me”)
My inability to time manage perfectly– all the stuff I never had time to get to
A general feeling of “You’re doing it wrong”
Now, it’s a joy to check. Today I’m sharing how I found love for my messy inbox AND began to clean up my act.
3 reasons to narrow your niche.
When you create for the wrong people:
You never get better at what YOU like doing
You begin to resent your business
You don’t like the work and it makes it really really hard to deal with the tough stuff that inevitably comes up
You find it hard to explain why you’re different than others because your heart isn’t in it and you aren’t getting better
You are not your own boss
You’re not creating a distinguishable brand that gets more distinguishable over time
How can you avoid this? Narrow your niche!
Creative Health Check Up
What do you do when you’re just not feeling great? When maybe you don’t even know why you’re not feeling great, but you are.
The best thing to do (and I’d do this every single month) is what I call a Creative Health Check Up.
Before you scroll any further... Hi! I'm Steph Sheldon, a content architect and creative director currently calling Chicago home, though my journey has taken me from 15 years in Cleveland to an 18-month adventure in Turkey.
My world revolves around designing and producing websites filled with content that's not just seen but felt. With a background in architecture, a knack for DIY, the experience of founding a fast-growth startup, and a heart dedicated to business coaching, I dive into photography as my personal escape and expression.
My greatest joy comes from helping people—especially women founders—uncover and express their true selves online and through their digital products, peeling away the layers of social conditioning that have kept their authentic selves hidden. I'm honored you've stepped into my digital home and studio, a place where creativity meets business in a dance designed just for you.
As someone who believes creativity is not just a talent but a fundamental human right, I see our creative blocks as the result of a world that hasn't always welcomed our brilliance. Here, loving our uniqueness is our strength, while the pressure to conform has too often dimmed our individual lights in exchange for safety in numbers. But it's our differences that make us thrive.
So, I invite you to dive into the blog or sign up for a creative consultation. Let's work together to break free from what's holding you back and move towards the work that's always been meant for you.
