The Q&A also includes what to do when your significant other isn’t completely supportive, how to stay motivated when you’re feeling down, and how to convert your online followers into paying customers.

TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 

1. Always keep in mind – how you can give your audience new content? What else can you be creating?

2. Don’t leave it to chance that you’ll be inspired. Make it a habit to find inspiration.

3. Don’t let one little detail stop you from moving forward. You can always go back and change it.

4. Making money is a good thing when you plan to do good with it.

5. You have to be supportive of yourself if you want others to support you.
