Say What You Want or Get What You’re Given with Missi Blue | Ep. 30

Today's episode is all about finding your voice and having the courage to use it—even when conventional wisdom tells you to stay quiet. When you start clearly communicating who you are, what you stand for, and what you love creating, something magical happens. The right people find you. The wrong ones politely step away. Your schedule fills with projects that energize rather than drain you. And you create an environment where everyone—from clients to your team—knows exactly what to expect.

Listen to my Jackpot presentation in episode 6 Find Your Unique Style

What you’ll learn:

• Why being vocal about your preferences (like art styles, scheduling, or pricing) actually attracts your ideal clients rather than pushing business away

• How speaking up about your expertise creates unexpected opportunities, from guest spots to teaching positions

• The importance of confidently communicating your pricing without questioning your own worth

• How clear boundaries create the perfect filter that naturally weeds out clients and colleagues who aren't the right fit

• Why building a team or friend circle based on shared values requires being explicit about those values first

• The business impact of creating an environment where everyone understands expectations and standards

• How to hire slowly but fire quickly to maintain the integrity of your shop culture

Remember: Your unique voice is your greatest asset. Use it. Be clear about what makes you different. Speak up about what you love and what you don't. The success of your business depends not on pleasing everyone, but on finding and serving those who truly value what only you can offer.
