Episode 01: Strategy First
Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things—but your creative business just isn’t growing? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest reasons creatives feel stuck: they’re building without a strategy. I share how losing my corporate job in my late 50s led me to start from scratch, build a business I love, and why getting crystal clear on strategy changed everything.
Whether you're just starting or pivoting your business, this episode will help you lay a solid foundation for sustainable growth, without the overwhelm.

The Creative Business Spark Podcast!
Welcome to the Creative Business Spark Podcast. I'm Anne La Follette, creative entrepreneur, online educator, and business coach. After getting laid off in my late fifties, I found myself adrift with no income and no sense of self. But my mom always said, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward.
So I decided to reinvent myself and build an online creative business from scratch. Now I help women like you do the same. This podcast is where art, mindset and entrepreneurship meet. I'll share behind the scenes lessons, inspiring stories, mindset shifts and more. Let this be the spark you need to build or grow a creative business with joy and purpose.
Let's dive in because: It's never too late to create®.
