099: Growing a Calligraphy Biz While Traveling the World | BECCA COURTICE

Passion Design Project

I met today's guest last year at ConvertKit Conference, which could be the nerdiest beginnings ever - a conference for people that use the same e-mail service HA! Becca is super fun and outgoing so it was cool to hear her talk about how she'd quickly built her, at that time, new calligraphy business. One of the biggest mental hurdles to get over as an entrepreneur is often feeling like a fraud or not practiced enough to call yourself a professional and start selling your creative work. Becca is a perfect example that you can make money fairly quickly in the arts if you aren't afraid to put your work out there (even if it's still a work in progress) and put programs out there too! Today I talk to Becca about how to monetize something as niche as calligraphy (even if lots more people are out there doing it). We talk about: Travel and her round-the-world trip How she made her first buck as a calligrapher What type of systems do you use within your business - have they expanded as she's grown? What's your biggest struggle as an entrepreneur and how does she compensate? What's the best entrepreneurial tip or trick she's learned in the past year? Did she develop any new, positive habits that she brought home after traveling? When she wakes up in the morning what gets her most excited? What calligraphy supplies won't she travel without? What's next in her calligraphy world - dream project? What is she excited about during this upcoming summer? Find Becca on Instagram: @thehappyevercrafter or join the 20K others on Facebook here! All of her workbooks can be purchased on her site: www.thehappyevercrafter.com And as always, have the best day ever!!! Thanks so much for listening!!
