Episode 264: Finding the Balance Between Being Creative and Getting Sh*t Done (FS264)

Shownotes: http://fizzleshow.co/264
Do you lean more to the artistic or organizational side? Are you struggling to organize your creative ideas? Is it difficult for you to make time for ideas amongst all the organization and admin that you do?
As entrepreneurs, there is a constant balancing act that takes place between these two poles. On one hand you have the inspiration, ideas and free energy of your business, and on the other hand, the structure, organization and management.
Without a good mix of these it is difficult to imagine a successful business.
In this episode, we talk about just that - how to give enough energy and time to both areas. More importantly, how to do this according to your needs and personality!
During the discussion we even help you reclaim the true meaning of ‘creativity’ so as to encompass both worlds and emphasize their dual-role in creation and production.
So come with us on this journey as we help you down the ski-slope of your business. With both feet firmly in a place and your mind as the director of each ski we are certain you can ensure a smooth ride! Tune in to hear it all!
