Cashflow For Creatives

Like every side hustler, Dennis is building his biz while, at times, feeling trepidatious, uncertain, and uncomfortable. Those feelings are totally normal and will arise each time you venture outside of your comfort zone.  The goal, however, is to not let those feelings stop you from taking action. An effective way to stoke your courage is to remain aware and appreciative of all the things that are going well and that are unfolding smoothly. In this episode, Kristine and Dennis discuss facing fears and prioritizing opportunities.  They explore some of the possible avenues and funnel people that could supply a flow of clients to his little biz, and examine the importance of not complicating the path between "you and your cash." ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: De

Dennis is an idea machine who needs to be reminded that, to see results, he must actually select a few good ideas and execute them fully (maintaining a steady balance between idea generation and idea implementation). A few good marketing ideas applied consistently is all that is needed for him – and for you – to start attracting some clients and generating some cash. In this episode, Kristine helps Dennis refine some ideas for marketing and social media. They also discuss how he can set himself up to eventually transition from a one-man-operation to someone leading a team. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?

Meet Dennis, a writer/podcaster/TV host who has worked in the industry in L.A. for several decades. His little biz is Lifecast – he creates audio time-capsules for people at milestone moments in their life. (His side hustle also has a side hustle – he and a partner are bringing a board game to market based on the unique type of questions Dennis asks in his interviews.) In this episode, Kristine and Dennis examine the rocky road he traveled on his way to starting his side hustle and the power of the stories we choose to tell ourselves.

Kim's initial vision for her side biz (coaching actors who have "just graduated" from high school, under grad, or grad school) is a bit diffuse, with both online and offline components.  Like many side hustlers, where Kim ends up after several weeks of tweaking and refining her structure, pricing, and deliverables, will be a bit different than where she begins. In this episode, Kristine offers guidance to Kim – and to you – on creating a pricing structure, shifting your perspective around what clients are actually paying for, and an alternative to offering free consultations. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Change Strategist Kristine Oller introduces her new, limited-series podcast which exists to help creative professionals learn how to build lean, low-overhead, low-cost, profitable streams of supplemental income to help fund (but not overwhelm) their artistic pursuits. She invited four very different creative professionals to work one-on-one with her over the course of several months so that you, too, could learn from the guidance that she shares with them as they start to grow four very different side hustles. Kim, Dennis, Joanna, and Sonya are each extremely talented. They've each had successes in their creative careers. At the moment, however, they are each experiencing financial instability and have a genuine desire and commitment not only towards building a profitable side hustle, but to candidly and generously sharing this portion of their journey with you. -------------------------- More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you generate concepts, clients, clear communicati
