Being a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur has its perks - you can do it all! But there's only so many hours in the day, and we don't want to work for 18 hours EVERY day, do we? I use the below time-saving tips to free up more time for my fun creative work!
Read MoreI keep hearing the same lines from creative business owners in my marketing consulting work. "Why do I need an email list?" "Isn't that for bigger businesses?" "No one wants to read my emails. I don't even know what to write." "I can barely keep up with Instagram marketing, I don't need another thing on my to-do list."

Do you LOVE Instagram? Do you scroll through, wondering how other brands, bloggers, and regular people get such gorgeous photos when yours aren't as pretty? Does it feel overwhelming to figure out when to post and brainstorm content?
Girl, I've got you.
Before I started Bonnie Bryant Creative, I had all sorts of excuses as to why I couldn’t be a creative business owner. I told myself that I’d need a trust fund or filthy rich spouse in order to make it work (having married for love instead of money, I had neither!). I told myself that all the creative business owners I admired must have SOMETHING that I didn’t, because they were making it work when I was sure I couldn’t.
The truth is, I was terrified - of not making enough money, of failing, of not being good enough. And to be a kickass business owner, you need to face your fears head on, PLAN on how you’re going to reach your goals, and IMPLEMENT those plans despite any setbacks. It’s like Dory says in “Finding Nemo” - just keep swimming.
I’ve decided to start the Fierce & Fearless Biz Owner series to highlight some amazing creative business owners and how they make their businesses work behind-the-scenes: the challenges, the rewards, and how they started living their dreams.First up…. is me!

Each cute sparkly pillow is $30, and the best wreaths are around $50, and that really cute Christmas tree skirt is over $100... before you know it, you'd have no money left for presents!
