    How to have gratitude for the creative wall

    Welcome to The TufFish Show, a place for authors and creative business owners, like you, to have the support and connection, so you bring out your inner greatness so you get comfortable using your voice, sharing your message, and being visible. It might sound a little odd to have “gratitude” for a challenge, especially one that’s requiring more from you than you thought possible. Yet, this is exactly why I wanted to do this short and sweet episode. The creative wall we can run into when we’re facing that new level (or working through it) is challenging for a reason, but it's also something we can have gratitude for it by reframing what it is and why it's there. You’ve got the books, products, and business, and now it’s time to move to your next level and confidently sharing them with those who need to hear from you the most.

    5 things to STOP doing as an author and business owner

    Welcome to The TufFish Show, a place for authors and creative business owners, like you, to have the support and connection, so you bring out your inner greatness so you get comfortable using your voice, sharing your message, and being visible. Visit https://www.jennifermilius.com to learn more. I believe that in order for you to have the impact you want to have, the reach you want to have, there are some beliefs or actions that need to stop. To do this, we need to recognize them and make the concerted decision to shift directions. These shifts take time and grace, but the fact that you’re willing to make the decision to shift them, is huge. It's not something everyone can or wants to do. The fact that you do shows your courage and willingness to grow as a business owner, so you do have the impact and reach you want for your books and message. You’ve got the books, products, and business, and now it’s time to move to your next level and confidently sharing them with those who need to hear from you the most.
