Let me be honest with you, Reader,
I have one major regret about my creator journey.
Something I didn't do despite everyone telling me it's going to bite me in the ass later on.
Spoiler alert: It did.
I'm talking about building an emergency fund. At least 3 months of your salary saved up on your account.
I heard I should do it from practically everyone. But my ego won here, telling me:
"Pff, it's not going to happen to me!"
Of course, I was 100% wrong. In 2023, things went south for 3 months.
No clients. No leads flowing in. A big student load screaming at me each time I opened my bank account.
I managed to turn things around later, but gosh – it was stupid AF.
Your creative business is too precious for such stupid risks.
So, today, I prepared for you a list of 7 lessons I learned after building a well-performing creative business in 11 months.
And if you prefer reading over watching, here's a text version.
Among all those lessons, one of them stands out to me the most. I'm super curious if you can guess what it is...
