What a real day of running a creator business looks like.

I've been in Europe for work for the past 10 days and I'm on my last leg and I have a full work day ahead of me. So I want to show you what actually running a creator business on the road looks like because it's not just pretty content. It's a whole back office that travels with you. The first thing I do every single morning is pour into myself because if I'm not filling my own cup, I can't show up for anything else. So I always do something for my mind, my soul, and my body. I regulate my nervous system before I look at what I have to tackle for the day and that's a non-negotiable for me, whether I'm home in New York or across the world. Once I'm grounded, the first order of business is to open Collective. I check my books, log any expenses from the last few days, especially since I'm here for work. I want to make sure that I have a game plan on what I've budgeted for expenses. Then I can actually work. After admin, I'm straight into emails, negotiations, client questions, following up on deliverables, the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the business actually moving. And then I'm in content mode, the part where I show up for my audience and add as much value and perspective as I can about the creator economy. Running your business from anywhere in the world sounds like a pipe dream, and honestly, showing you that it's possible is just the surface. What actually makes it work is what's running behind it because you can be anywhere, creating content, living the dream, but if your back office is a mess, it will catch up with you, no matter what time zone or country you're in. And at the end of the day, I log any final expenses, close out my dashboard, and I know exactly where my business stands, not just when taxes are due, but right now, today. And that's the peace of mind Collective gives me, no matter where in the world I am. And right now, Collective is running a promotion.
