Episode 016: Jen Carrington: Content Creation, Being an Introverted Biz Owner & Standing Out

The Asia Croson 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.
