E4 Betting on Yourself as a Creative Entrepreneur ✨�‪�‬ Pollen: For Creative Entrepreneurs with Diana Davis

When was the last time you took a big leap of faith? And I don’t mean the physical kind!

But it shouldn’t stop there. Moving towards success requires taking leaps — even and especially the ones that seem big or scary. In this short but sweet episode of the Pollen Podcast, I talk about the importance of making big leaps of faith — especially in creative entrepreneurship.

🎧Episode Highlights [01:25] The Importance of Taking Big Leaps Taking big leaps, in Diana’s opinion, is the number one key to successful entrepreneurship.  It pays to not overthink everything. Make big leaps for yourself and your business. These leaps can be as simple as confidently showing up for a client or hiring more people despite constraints.  If you’re still hesitant, you can always take inspiration from other people.  Diana: “It’s so empowering to hear what other people are doing. And when we're around people who are taking big leaps, we're more apt to take our own big leaps.”
[03:54] Learning Risk Tolerance from Diana’s Father Diana was raised in a family of entrepreneurs who took big risks — including those that were less smart and more heartfelt.  She built her risk tolerance seeing her dad work in a high-paying corporate position, but decide to leave to be an entrepreneur.  Diana believes in the value of prioritizing “living” over security and wealth. [06:47] Learning from Healthy and Unhealthy Leaps Not all leaps are the same. Some are super healthy and some aren’t. Our relationships play into who we are as a people and how we show up as brands.  We should learn to appreciate both our successful and failed moves because they teach us valuable lessons. [07:31] Self-Trust, Self-Love, and Betting on Yourself After her divorce, Diana lived alone and started to journey within herself. She learned to stop seeking validation from other people. Self-trust and self-love are big themes in taking leaps. You have to have both to succeed. Diana: “When you get to the place where you are your favorite person to hang with, where you actually love yourself more than anyone else and honor your energy, boundaries, and life before anyone else… When that happens, it is magical.”
