S9E5 - Money & Starting Up a New Career

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

Can I make good money from my passions?

Is this a viable career?

Will I be able to replace my income, or exceed it?

I’m worried the industry I want to move into is saturated. Will there be room (and income) for me?

These are just a few of the (very valid) questions I hear women contemplate when working toward their passions.

I understand it. I wanted the know if I could replace - or exceed - the income of my original career (in pharmacy), while doing work that felt more meaningful & aligned with my personal values.

In this podcast, we explore:

• The 2 skill sets you need to make money from your passions (& which order you should develop them in)
• We chat about Instagram reality VS the actual phases of business maturation
• My money journey - I share my money journey & the details of what I earned then & now
• Business models - We speak about business models for coaches, what I’ve tried & for example income from some of our graduate coaches
• Practical tips for minimizing risk & maximizing your return on investment in following your passions
• The #1 trap most new entrepreneurs fall into and why we have to avoid staying caught in the busy mechanic role (and which role we should focus on instead)

Today’s podcast is not all unicorns & fairies. It’s an honest, transparent appraisal of what it takes to make it.
