Episode Summary
Have avoided following your creative intuition because defining and promoting yourself as an "artist" felt... scary? Imposter-like? Or have you avoided chasing big dreams because of the costs associated too starting and running a business? If your answer to either of those questions is a yes, then this episode is for you.
Last week, we asked what you wanted to hear on today's episode of $HMONEY Radio. The answer? Information on starting a small biz. And thanks to your participation in our Instagram poll, you’ll be hearing from an instantly successful Canadian freelancer who's experienced all the above... and still "made it".
@shmoneyhonies, meet @kla_ssh : photographer and owner of Sol Atelier Studios 📸. From her long career as a classical musician in Winnipeg to her time in the marketing and service industries in Toronto, to finally following her creative intuition to found her own studio, Ashley’s journey to working for herself and living for her craft is a come up story to remember. Plus, the way she captures the female form is something to behold.
Today, @anastasiabarbuzzi and Ashley discuss bootstrapping a small business, making things work during COVID, busting their 🍑’s for cash tips in the big city, embracing artistry, and saving pennies to follow big dreams ✨.
