A teacher, a graphic designer, a special ed instructor from Hawaii, and a marketing maven… all going from calligraphy beginners to PROs selling their calligraphy services! Four inspiring student stories, right here.

The two things you need to launch your Calligraphy Starter Business. It’s easier than you think, and you don’t need anything fancy, like a website, logo, clever name or payment software.

A deeply personal and profound reflection on how HARD it is to worry about money and feel like a failure in business… and the CONCRETE TOOLS I use to help me ride the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship.

Three important things to do as a creative entrepreneur when you launch a product, and NO SALES come in!

In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down my own experience teaching workshops and how it propelled me into owning a million-dollar business.

I’ve packed all this information plus SO much more into my brand new online course “How to Teach Calligraphy Workshops” happening LIVE Wednesday, May 3rd 2023 at 5pm PST.

I recently offered 12 creative entrepreneurs a free coaching session to help them work through their business hang ups. Through each session, I found a common thread of issues plaguing these owners

“If you’re curious if someone can totally disappear from their business for 9 months, and then come back and still sell stuff right out of the gate… here’s your answer...”

The good and bad that happened after I did a really SCARY thing and shared the WORST (and most helpful) review we’ve ever gotten for our calligraphy courses!

I don’t just listen to my “feelings”… ‘cause those can be untrustworthy. Instead, I ask, “Are these feelings rooted in FEAR or LOVE?” And it’s led me to some amazing decisions.

What did I do during my 9-month break from business? A LOT…

A very impromptu (and heartfelt) return to The Shinah Show after over a year away.

I have a big announcement and I’m just going to come right out and say it: the second season of The Shinah Show will be postponed until further notice.

This is the final remix episode of 2021 — and this remix is all about how to land your first clients in your creative business, whether this is your side hustle or your dream career.

Remix month marches on! In the first two remix episodes of 2021, I covered how to identify and overcome the things that hold you back from chasing your dreams. In Remix #3, I dig into some practical tips for launching your own creative business — whether its calligraphy, copywriting, choreography, or crochet!

I want to keep you inspired over the holiday season, so Remix #2 is all about getting over the things that are holding you back from chasing your biggest, baddest, boldest dreams!

Each remix episode will feature handpicked insights, stories, and tips plucked from the last 35 episodes. If you’ve missed out on any past episodes, this month will be a great opportunity to hear the best nuggets of advice from Season 1. If you caught the show every week, these remix episodes will remind you of the tips and tricks that you may have forgotten — and help you keep those creative fires burning!

This episode is dedicated to my beautiful friend Andrew, with the deepest love and gratitude. Tune into this season finale episode of The Shinah Show to find out why “now” is the best time to act.
