Building a $200k Creative Biz
We tend to be our biggest roadblock for making shit happen for ourselves.
Often it stems from our:
Poor relationship with money.
Limiting beliefs and stories we tell ourselves.
Lack of drive and willingness to fail.
You’re not listening to this show because you expect microwaveable results—you’re here because you know it takes time and effort to get the results you’re looking for.
Today’s guest has paid his dues to tap into incredible, lucrative results with his creative business.
I’m talking about my brother Austin Saylor who is a full-time lettering animation/motion graphic artist operating under the name Full Harbor.
He bounced around experimenting from one venture to the next, but he finally found his creative groove with motion graphics, client work, and building community.
His story and determination will definitely light a fire under your biscuits to play the long game versus seeking overnight shortcuts.
Today, we discuss his journey of making $200k this year as a freelance motion artist and 4 big tips on how he’s accomplishing it.
We also talk shop on:
The benefits of the slow and steady grind.
Normalizing conversations around money.
The power of niching down and when to do it.
How to create more opportunities for yourself.
Having an internal drive, staying hungry, and more.
My goal with this episode is to get you to think bigger, take action, and improve your relationship with money.
