Supporting Media Creators - Nancy Fulton Meetups
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nancy Fulton, Owner of Nancy Fulton Meetups, located in Santa Monica, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I help filmmakers, authors, screenwriters, and experts selling their skills and services earn more from their creative work through live online workshops, face-to-face workshops, and 150+ how-to videos covering everything from funding and distribution to marketing and sales.
Tell us about yourself
I've been creating content profitably across media for decades, and I've done a lot of teaching for folks like UCLA, the Art Institute, and a leading international School for Startups. I enjoy helping creative pros master new skills, keep up to date with the latest technology, and profit more from their work.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Running multiple businesses profitably for 30+ years and having had the freedom to follow my interests from book authoring, filmmaking, event production, and curricula design to app development, SAAS, and publishing. Most creatives want the freedom to follow their interests, I think.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Accepting that time is money is always hard for business owners, particularly creatives. Coming to terms with that can be very liberating because it can give you the freedom to stop doing things you don't like that don't work.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Realize that it's not going to be rich, famous, and powerful people who greenlight your projects. Stop struggling to get their attention. It's the folks around you with $20 in their pocket who determine your success or failure. Ten thousand of them means you earn $200,000 a year. It's never been easier to earn money from your creative work when you approach it from that perspective.
