About the show

Welcome to the Hidden Creative Podcast where your host Taylah Maree is dedicated to helping rural creatives build a business that unearths your hidden talents and allows you to make a big impact in the world! So often we let fear of failure, lack of confidence or limiting beliefs stop us from achieving our dreams + making an impact as a rural small business owner when it doesn’t have to be this way! In this podcast, we will cover the practical tools you need to help grow your confidence, lean into your creativity, embrace being rural and build an impactful creative business regardless of your location. Let’s chat about your mindset, your creative strengths + building a business that’s right for YOU! There is no “one size fits all” approach here! You will find powerful heart to hearts with other creatives who have turned their passion into a thriving business and achieved the freedom they desired, and I really hope this will help inspire you and be the example that you need to show you what’s really possible! I believe in you achieving your biggest creative goals! Let's connect so we can chat further. For more, check out www.taylahmaree.com

33 - Seasons Of Stillness And The Power They Hold

In my stillness over the past few months I have been closely watching, curiously listening and piecing together a puzzle that forms our online business world as it is right now. As I’ve been slowly putting it all together, I’ve noticed a few pieces of the puzzle that are missing…In this episode I share with you a personal manuscript for the season of stillness I have been in and the changes I want to help make in our small town creative business space. It includes a very raw recount of the past few months for Taylah Maree - the business, but mainly the person behind it :) I'm excited to share this with you and really hope that you reach out and let me know your thoughts. From my whole heart, thank you for listening!Taylah x _________Want to find out more about Stevie's Lifestyle Business School.

32 - It's Time For Serious Conversation

Are you too sick and tired of the tasteless marketing that promises the "be all and end all" tactics to help you do something freaking amazing! And then actually doesn't deliver on the thing it promised in the first place? Me too and do you know what, I am so ready for real conversation it's not funny!Today's episode is more like a candid chat with a friend over a good cuppa - haha, almost literally - as I share with you why a cup of tea has been so healing in my business journey. We all struggle to ask for help, to hit pause, to check in, because we as business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives and aspiring all have one very big thing in common. And that is that we push ourselves to the MAX. Let's change that!Take 15 minutes out of your day today, to hit pause, listen to a podcast episode even if it isn't the "be all and end all" podcast episode that will change your life. It is a real, raw and honest conversation with a friend who is genuinely concerned about how you are going at the moment :)_________ DM Taylah on Instagram to chat! https://www.instagram.com/iamtaylahmaree Full shownotes for all episodes can be found at https://www.taylahmaree.com/blog

31 - The Biz Skills They Don't Tell You About!

When you think of the skills that’s needed to run a business, what do YOU think of? Marketing + sales, branding, financial management, the list goes on.. These ARE skills that everyone advertises and promotes to those wanting to grow a business. These, let’s say formal set of skills, are certainly skills we can work on to help our business grow. However, they are not the only areas we should place our focus. And rather than relying heavily on gaining knowledge around these more formal set of skills, there’s a set of skills that one could argue are even more beneficial for regional small business owners because they directly improve the outcome + results you receive. This is what we are chatting about today :) _________ DM Taylah on Instagram to chat! https://www.instagram.com/iamtaylahmaree Full shownotes for all episodes can be found at https://www.taylahmaree.com/blog

30 - The Superpower In CONSISTENTLY Providing What Your Clients Know They Will Get

I feel like consistency is a dangerous word when chatting with a room full of creatives. Because the second consistency in business becomes the topic, I know most of you tune out. But before you do…. Being consistent is something that we are not. If anything, we creatives are consistent at being inconsistent. That’s our thing. It allows us to get creative, move on to something else quickly, produce ideas, create something magical that others didn’t see, it's our mojo. However, and here’s the penny drop moment… consistency is what grows your business. And it’s not consistency overall. But it's being consistent in one area in particular. And today, that’s what we are talking about. _________ DM Taylah on Instagram to chat! https://www.instagram.com/iamtaylahmaree Full shownotes for all episodes can be found at https://www.taylahmaree.com/blog

29 - How To Receive The Benefits Of Feedback Without Feeling Deflated

Opening the floor for feedback can be scary. We worry that by asking people their thoughts, that it will bring about a scurry of emotions, opinions and a harsh reality we aren’t ready to hear. But, here’s the thing. If you don’t do this, you will never know what they’re thinking. And if you don’t do this, you may be pouring your heart and soul into something that people don’t actually want. So today, we are chatting about how you can seek constructive, useable feedback that doesn’t leave you feeling deflated. _________ DM Taylah on Instagram to chat! https://www.instagram.com/iamtaylahmaree Full shownotes for all episodes can be found at https://www.taylahmaree.com/blog

27 - Unexpected Opportunities and Amazing Outcomes Because Of Them!

“If I had of known who this lady was before I reached out to see if she was free to catch up, I probably never would have had the courage to reach out to her in the first place. Little old me, a photographer from a small town with big ideas, but who certainly did not have her sh*t together, sitting in front of this amazing woman who had accomplished all these things I could only dream about, talking to me about her story.It was such a privilege, and one that would open my eyes to a whole new world.”I wonder, how often do you miss opportunities or ideas because they weren’t obvious? Today I am sharing a story with you, something that happened a few years ago, something that was a very unexpected opportunity, and that had an amazing outcome because of it.
