Episode Summary
We’re kicking off a new series on the podcast: seller book club chats! In the first episode of this series, I sit down with Janice Cook and Kassaundra Foster to dive into Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear”. Big Magic talks a lot about creativity and breaking out beyond fears and hesitations to live happier lives both as people and business owners.
Throughout our conversation, we talk about balancing creative freedom with business pressures, managing perfectionism, and the unique challenges faced by teacher sellers. We also touch on the emotions that come with “dead ideas” and how we respond when other sellers have similar ideas that we do.
You’ll hear what we deeply connected with in the book…and what we couldn’t quite relate to! I think this is the perfect read if you’re feeling detached from the creative spark that led you to becoming a TPT seller in the first place. If you’ve read Big Magic, we would love to hear your thoughts too! Tag us on Instagram @school.of.sellers and share your takeaways.
Topics Discussed:
- Why I chose Big Magic as our first book club book
- The importance of being open to new ideas
- Not being overly critical of how your creative work is received
- The power in reconnecting with your creative spark
- Recognizing that perfectionism ties to fear
