As creative business owners, we thrive on feeling inspired. But what about those days when you just aren't feeling inspired or creative? I share 5 things that I do when I'm not feeling inspired to keep my business moving forward. Work through it Focus on other crafts Do a "mindless project" Take a break from the creative side of your business Express gratitude to someone else Other resources mentioned in this episode: Interview with Steven Pressfield on The Creative Penn podcast An overview of the Thank You Card Challenge You can listen to the episode for more tips on dealing with a lack of inspiration.
