I love being self-employed, and yet, I have to admit that sometimes I get an idea for a new project and go headlong into creating it before I have the last one completed, or at least up and running smoothly.
In April I started a Patreon Community. Then I went on a three week vacation before I had fully learned how to manage my channel. When I got back I did a bit of work promoting it, but then I got the fantastic idea to create an online class.
I have to admit, I’m having a hard time juggling those two projects in addition to my blog and podcast duties.
It wouldn’t be so bad if I had an assistant who could help me keep up with social media promotion of all I do, but I’m a one person workforce and that’s not good.
Even so, I am excited about both my Patreon Community and the new class I’m creating. It’s titled “Saving the World One Story at a Time.” It’s going to be on Ûdemy. I’m doing the set up of my landing page already and have some episodes video taped, though I may have to do that again. I sent a test video and there were a couple of minor issues, which are easy to fix, but still, I don’t want the problems they pointed out on any of the video lesson segments.
Maybe I get bored once something is running smoothly. After two years of producing Story-Power, I’m glad I have a year’s worth of recordings ready to edit. I can take a long break from recording and learn new things with both Patreon and the Ûdemy class.
I just edited and scheduled the next Story-Power episode with Gina Clark, a Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach. After listening to our conversation again, I realized that once you let go of the fears that often come up around being creative, it’s a little like a drug. You want to keep creating. For me though, I’ve got to learn to slow down, finish one project, or at least get it running smoothly and then move on to the next fun thing.
I’ll let you know when I have the final trailer for the class ready. I’ll add it here so you can give your evaluations. And if the course sounds good to you and you want to take it, I’ll give you a coupon to take it for free once it’s live. The only thing I ask, is that you give me a star rating and a review so other potential students will know whether they want to take the class or not. Thanks in advance.
I hope you are getting to do something fun and creative this weekend.
Blessings,
