8 Pieces of Creative Advice I Keep Coming Back To

If you’re growing your YouTube channel, podcast, Substack or building your personal brand on other social media platforms, let’s talk creative advice, creativity tips or ways to stay motivated and consistent with your creative work. In this episode, I’m sharing 8 pieces of creative advice I keep coming back to — ideas that have shaped how I create, work and stay committed to the creative process. From “create before you consume” to the power of one hour a day, these creative habits and ideas are reminders that creativity isn’t simply about waiting for inspiration. It’s about creating consistently, building momentum and continuing to make the work. In this episode, I explore: • Why you should work on your personal brand, not just in it • How creating content can become a form of leverage for your personal brand • Why “create before you consume” can change your creative routine • The power of keeping the creative chain going • Why you should ship creative work instead of waiting for perfection • How one hour a day can compound into meaningful creative progress • Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages and Artist Dates • How understanding your unfair advantage can help you find your creative edge These are the creative reminders I return to when I need more motivation, consistency or a fresh creative perspective — whether I’m writing, creating content, building my personal brand or simply trying to make something new. Creativity is a practice. You don’t always need more inspiration. Sometimes you just need to keep creating. 0:00 My Favourite Creative Advice Intro 1:50 Work On, Not In 4:30 If you can’t code, create 6:33 Create before you consume 9:51 Become a ‘Chain Smoker’ 12:15 Ship Creative Work 15:18 The 1 Hour Rule 17:33 Morning Pages & Artist Dates 20:24 The Unfair Advantage 👋🏽 Hi, I'm Dianne - personal brand coach, consultant and speaker for emerging leaders, executives and entrepreneurs.
