Just recently I put up a question box in my instagram stories for creatives who are just starting a business or are thinking about starting a business. I asked them what they would like to know or learn from me in a podcast. I got so many great responses from this, so I decided to turn this episode into a Q/A. I’m going to directly answer 5 questions that came through from different creatives in the trenches who are trying to figure out what to do as they’re just starting out. So if you’re new to business and you’re in the same boat, I think you’re going to really enjoy this episode. If you have other questions that you would like to ask me, please do! I’m pretty much always available on instagram in my DMs to dialogue with any of you, I actually love doing that! So make sure you connect with me on instagram @emmajanelemke and i’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.
I’m answering 5 different questions:
- When should I start my business and give up my day job?
- How much money should I spend on my business when I’m first starting out?
- What should I sell in my business?
- What should I put on my website?
- How can I stand out in my industry and establish a unique voice or style?

Should I Launch an Online Course? With Steph Taylor
Have you been thinking about launching an online course? Well I have the perfect episode planned for you. Today, I have Steph Taylor with me who is a launch strategist. She is going to share with us the 101 on launching a course. Steph has done numerous launches herself that have allowed her to travel and take vacations for months at a time. And today I pick her brain and she generously shares so much knowledge and wisdom on this topic. We talk about:
- Who should launch a course

- Why you should launch a course
- Whether the online course space is too saturated and what to do about that
- What you should do to test your ideas and whether they’ll fly
