Description
Creative CEO is a podcast for artists and creative people who desire to become their own boss and make money from their creativity. Hosted by me, Georgie Turner, an art teacher turned full time artist. As I build my own art business from the ground up, I am taking you on the journey with me, offering real world advice on what's working as an artist on social media, how to sell art online, marketing your art work and building sustainable creative income streams. I'm doing this alongside juggling babies, country living, a family home and horses, so if you want realistic advice from a female founder who is trying to 'do it all', you've come to the right place! Expect brutal honestly, a bit of oversharing, interesting conversations with guests and a safe space for you to feel like you're not alone.

As an artist, our phones are key to running our business, but they can also be the biggest distraction. I've found a way to keep myself focussed during the times I need to use my phone and a way to stop me from being distracted when I actually need to create. This app has been a game changer and no, it is not endorsed, I just genuinely love it.

Let's start building your dream business by remembering exactly why you went self employed. Set yourself boundaries as a self employed person running the show solo (or with a little bit of help) to make sure you're showing up as your best self. Anonymous questions! New for 2026, I am giving artists and creatives the platform to have someone to go to when you have a question about your art business. Whenever you feel stuck on a decision, or just need someone to hash out an idea with, I want you to email me. I will keep your name anonymous and will answer the question on the podcast.

Are you all ready to make 2026 your most productive and profitable year yet? In this episode, I talk about reflection on the past year as an artist, setting realistic art business goals using the SMART formula and planning for 2026, thinking about different creative income streams. Whether you’re selling prints, commissions, original art or homewares, hopefully this episode will help get you prepared for next year.

In this episode I talk all about the pressures of running an art business, whether that's keeping up with your competition, the pressure to post on social media or joining in with Black Friday sales. I also talk about why it's good to sometimes put the pressure on and when it's important to take it off. This comes from my experience in November where it all got too much and I had to press pause on marketing my art business (whilst quietly putting equal pressure on myself to complete commissions!). I hope this episode helps anyone who finds themselves feeling in a state of pressure at any time in their art business.Question for the podcast?
