Class is in session! In today’s video, we are going to talk about the stock market. What is a stock? How does the market work? What the hell is it?! We are going to demystify the whole thing so your brain can finally understand it. If you are a creative person, you likely have great instincts and strong intuition; this is the backbone of making wise investing decisions and you’re going to be great at it!   I’m Mandy, and I’m a writer and a career coach - and I talk about how to bring joy and creativity in your life. I also serve as a bridge between the business and creative worlds, and one of my goals is to break down fancy ass finance topics in ways that you can understand. Because you’re a genius, and we don’t gatekeep here.

Do you ever feel like your goals are too ambitious, too amorphous, like there’s no roadmap or clear path to what you want?  Listen, I’ve been there.  In today’s video, I’m going to break down what I call the “small steps” strategy, which is something I accidentally learned in my personal growth journey.  It’s just a simple way of breaking down a huge task into tiny, tiny steps so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming.  Hi, I’m Mandy, and thanks for stopping by my channel!  I’m a writer (my first book, a self-help book called Career Wounds, comes out next year) and a career coach, and I talk about how to bring more creativity and joy into your life.  After graduating from Columbia Business School with an MBA in finance, I started on my coaching journey helping other people find their purpose, which led me to a three-year shamanic healing program.  Now, I try to blend the left and right brain to help you find balance in your life, too.   www.mandytang.co    

Sometimes when we are stuck, we just need a gentle mindset shift, and we can start rolling down towards our destiny once again.

When I first started my own business, I'll admit I was pretty lost. I was booking a lot of private clients, but I wasn't sure what the end game was. Was I just supposed to keep doing private one-on-ones? Should I focus more on group sessions? How would I scale and get some more of my time and creative freedom back? In this LONG ASS video (clocking in at over 43 minutes), I share my honest journey from Corporate America to actually starting my business, pivoting, a million times, and then finally finding more peace through making products. I'm still not near anywhere done, but I'm making progress, and wanted to share an HONEST look at what it's like. So if you are a fellow artist or creative, looking to grow your business, tune in! We go through the 7 stages of entrepreneurial growth, so feel free to skip what makes sense for you.
