5 Unexpected Things That Have Made Me a Better Creative Expert
Episode 105
Thursday, 1 October, 2026
When we think about becoming better at what we do, I think our brains naturally go to MORE. More experience. More clients. More training. More skills. Another course. Another qualification. Maybe another 47 hours spent learning something everybody else on Instagram apparently already knows 😂But when I think about the things that have actually made me a better creative expert over the last decade, some of them are a little more unexpected.Today I'm sharing 5 slightly unexpected things that I think have made me better at my work, more confident in my expertise and much clearer about the kind of expert I actually want to be.We're talking about doing fewer things for longer, knowing what I don't know, pushing back with clients, protecting space for creativity and choosing to celebrate other people's success rather than using it as evidence that I should be doing something differently.Last week we talked about the practical foundations that make a business more burnout-proof. This week we're looking at the other side: becoming the confident, clearly positioned expert your perfect people actually want to book into that lovely spacious schedule.And that's exactly what I'm bringing together inside my free workshop, Booked Without Burnout.✨ Join me here: https://www.mentor.gattoweb.com/workshop I'll show you how to bring the positioning AND capacity sides of your business together, so you can create more consistent dream-client projects without filling every available inch of your calendar.And if you already know you want my support building this into your business, Booked Not Busy is opening soon too 💖✨ Join the Booked Not Busy waitlist here: https://www.mentor.gattoweb.com/waitlist Hosted on Acast.
