The Jump Moment
What does it take to go from dreaming to doing?
The Jump Moment.
Every creative who’s made the leap to freelance has had a Jump Moment. Sometimes it’s a bold, unmistakable event. Other times, it sneaks up slowly, shaped by life’s circumstances or a quiet realization.
And if you’re dreaming of turning your creative hobby into a business, chances are you’re searching for that moment, wondering, “Is now the time to jump?”
In each episode, I sit down with creatives and entrepreneurs to explore their Jump Moment—the fears they faced, the courage it took, and the lessons they learned along the way.
These stories will inspire you, show you that you’re not alone, and give you the tools and confidence to take your next step.
Your Jump Moment might be just around the corner. Let’s get you ready for it.
