What’s New
This morning, I stumbled upon an article by Jean Kang who transitioned from working at a well-known Fintech company, to building her own multi-six-figure business. Her story resonated deeply with me because she didn’t leave out of burnout, but from a clear vision of a different path – one where she could design her own schedule, create meaningful work, and scale her impact in a way that truly aligned with her values. As I read her journey, I thought, “Girl, let’s do this!” And I’m urging you to do the same. Jean discovered a creative liberation tool that many creative women have been missing. It’s not just for tech bros and tech sisters; it’s for all of us creatives. As creatives, we often find ourselves in unique situations:
- We’re sometimes expected to work for “exposure” or below market rates because we “love what we do.”
- Our high standards can lead to endless revisions and missed opportunities. We manage creative work, admin tasks, marketing, and personal life without a team.
- We question if we’re “business-savvy enough” to scale our creative talents.
- We watch other creators seemingly build empires while we struggle with basic operations.
- Our inspiration doesn’t always strike, but invoices still need to be sent!
- We’re constantly chasing ever-changing social media rules while trying to showcase our work.
- We become too busy with client work to learn new techniques or explore creative growth.
- Family and friends start questioning when we’ll get “serious” employment.
Phew! Take a deep breath. There’s a solution, we shouldn’t forget that there is a secret weapon that requires you to build your own AI-powered creative empire to overcome these challenges (especially when you can’t afford a full team). Here’s how:
1. Have a Meeting Memory Keeper With Fathom
As a creative coach and consultant, you are constantly on calls with clients, collaborators, and potential partners. Instead of frantically scribbling notes or rewatching recordings, Fathom records everything, extracts key insights, and creates follow-up action items.
SECRET SAUCE: Use this for your client consultations, creative brainstorming sessions, and partnership discussions. You’ll never miss a brilliant idea again, and clients will be impressed by your detailed follow-ups
2. Give Your Creative A Standout Command Center With Notion
I know you’ve heard about the testimonies about Notion. Notion has made me forget the chaos of scattered Google Docs and random notebooks. Make Notion your creative brain’s external hard drive by using it to track client projects, organize inspiration, manage your content calendar, and even build revenue.
SECRET SAUCE: Create templates for your client onboarding, project timelines, and creative briefs. The AI feature helps summarize client feedback and surface exactly what you need when inspiration strikes at 3 AM.
3. Fyxer As Your Professional Voice Amplifier
Waking up every morning knowing that you have to read and respond to all your mails is a creativity killer especially crafting professional responses to clients, brands, and collaborators which can drain your creative energy before you even start your actual work. For me, I don’t like it at all. Fyxer has learned few creatives communication style and now drafts 80% of their responses—from client onboarding to brand partnership negotiations. They just add their personal touch.
SECRET SAUCE: Train Fyxer on your best client emails and brand collaboration responses. You’ll maintain your authentic voice while saving mental energy for your creative work.
4. Solve Your Creative Problems With Custom GPT
I have learnt how to build a custom GPT that understands my creative process and business model. It helps me transform my audience and client challenges into compelling case studies, rewrite creative briefs for clarity, and even brainstorm workshop content.
SECRET SAUCE: I insist that you to create a custom GPT trained on your best work samples, client testimonials, and creative process. Use it to maintain consistency across projects while scaling your unique approach.
So What’s The takeaway, Dear Creative?
Trust me, you don’t have to be a creative who struggle to keep their team and business intact, you just need the right tool to support your vision. Choose one AI tool from this list and commit to implementing it this week. Start small and be consistent. Remember all you need to grow that brand or business is not a massive team but the right strategy, the right tools and a clear vision.
