Episode 25: What I Wish I’d Known Before Building a creative business

Exploring a creative endeavor can be scary and intimidating, and there is SO much that I wish I would’ve known before starting The Bets Life. By building any kind of new business, you will experience a range of emotions and learn some hard truths along the way. I hope to cheer you on and offer advice, support, and reality checks with this episode. I know that I’ve had to learn some lessons the hard way, so my goal is for you all to avoid some bumps in the road and learn from my mistakes. We will truly cover the good, the bad, and the ugly about diving into a new venture. 


I know firsthand that there is a lot that goes into launching something original and taking the path less traveled, but I can assure you that the headaches, cringey moments, and growing pains are worth it! We discuss everything from getting organized, being uncomfortable, and feeling alone to finding your people, celebrating wins, and pursuing passions.

As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a star rating and review. Thanks!

Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about speaking in front of 100 people lol. 😅

What an honor to speak to students at the @sbplibrary as a panelist for @jlsantabarbara’s Career Exploration Fair. 👏🏻 

I wish I would’ve attended an event like this when I was in high school! Very impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions as well. 💓

Do you believe in vision boards? I try to make one every year now! 🎉

The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞 The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞

What a fun night sipping cocktails, eating delicious bites, and listening to live music at The Speakeasy. Great news for my locals, longtime menu favorites like the mac & cheese and baby back ribs are on the menu too! 👏🏻 

Can you believe how beautiful and charming this spot is? Also, no, I’m not over those desserts. 😍
