For years I taught other people to unleash their creativity. This week, I finally had to put my money where my mouth was and unleash myself. This is my real-time, raw, first-week-of-full-time-entrepreneurship origin story, and I'm not waiting until I have it all figured out to tell it.
Last week, I left corporate America after 11+ years to launch my own company, Lauren LaGrasso Productions, while six months pregnant, and I'm bringing you with me for every messy, terrifying, exhilarating moment of it.
In this solo episode I'm sharing my 10 self-coaching takeaways from my first week of being fully self-employed, what leaving your job to pursue your creative dreams actually feels like from the inside, and why a business is one of the greatest creative projects you'll ever build.
We get into:
How to bet on yourself even when you're terrified
Why rest is part of the creative process, not the enemy of productivity
How to stop forcing and start flowing
Why singing your own praises isn't bragging, it's necessary
Plus a very special announcement I've been dreaming about for years.
If you've ever thought about leaving your 9-to-5, starting a creative business, or betting on yourself in a way that scares you a little, this one is for you.
Because if I can do this, six months pregnant, fresh out of corporate America, betting everything on my creativity, so can you!
Love you, cutie. Let's go!
