As a newbie member I’m already feeling so great about being in this space. Thank you, Claire 🙏❤️ One thing I want to work on in 2025 is a series where I speak with other creatives and get their views on what a successful creative life looks like to them, where they’re at now, where they’re wanting to be and so on. I’ve already got a handful of interested creatives so I’m eager to get moving on it.

Loved this Claire, I love this time of year too! For me you’re absolutely right, I want to head into 2025 knowing where I’m heading. One thing I want to do for my Substack in 2025 is more audio. More audio pieces weekly is the action and a podcast by end of 2025. Thankful for you and this wonderful community💛

Beautiful and what do the conditions need to look like for you to make that happen? ✨✍️

I need to step into spaces where I can find my people for the podcast, I want to do something quite niche on mental health and classical music.

When I meet with my assistant for year end I want to ensure I carve out proper time for my Substack weekly in 2025 a which I did over the summer and now it’s dropped off a little.

I’m committed to our Friday meet-ups for that time too. I feel there is some gentle accountability missing somewhere, which is something I need to reflect on.

I know what you mean. I’m like this with my accounts. I’ve tried scheduling it Mondays, Fridays. 20 mins each day - nothing works because I don’t like doing it but today I did like 2hours of it - go figure! When do you most like to write? Like what time of day?

this is so well-timed, Claire. I've been starting to brainstorm goals for 2025, for both my business and my newsletter, and even mentioned a couple ideas in my most recent post. on the business side, I want to start integrating more of my marketing director background by offering newsletter consulting services to businesses! on the FREQUENT CRIERS CLUB side of things, it's still so new that I really just want to keep being consistent, and i'd also love to open myself to collaborations that feel particularly well-suited to me. maybe pitching myself for guest posts or interview episodes on podcasts... idk yet! I just know that I'm feeling called to be more collaborative and put myself out there, which feels exciting :)

Thanks for spreading proper perspective because is sometimes not the case in this e commerce/online biz.

Oh great - I’m so so glad.

Most stuff is filler. It is mostly useless but gives an image of being helpful. Until next time....

Ahh yeah and then you are wasting precious time reading it - I hear you. Have a lovely day.

So lovely to see the Brand Seasons Playgroup on your list of experiences you’re investing in for 2025! I can’t wait to dive in with you all. But first, I need to carve out some time and space for dreaming and planning of my own 🤩

I'm super excited to be in dream space early in the year - will be so good.
