Makayla Ervin is a business coach for creatives offering alternative perspectives for every "business rule" you don't want to follow and putting an end to the starving-artist-mentality.

With a very candid approach, she gives you permission to do whatever the frick you want in your business - without feeling like all the wheels are off and no progress is being made. Side effects may include: signing clients and booking gigs you are obsessed with, ditching services you hate to offer, and having more money than you've ever had in your bank account.

**Warning: Says "um" and laughs at her own jokes. Listen at your own risk.**

a thought on manifestation

October 27, 2021 04:01 - 21 minutes - 17.7 MB

Manifestation isn't a pass or fail kind of thing. There is no right or wrong way to manifest something. There is only...what works for you.  Today I'm talking about one very common manifestation practice that did not work for me. Not because of the practice itself, but the energy I approached it with - which may sound very familiar to you.  Hang out to hear the shift I'm proposing, it might just change everything for you. Turn it up! Are we friends?  www.facebook.com/makayladawn ...

instant gratification and your goals

September 10, 2021 16:45 - 28 minutes - 23.9 MB

The sneakiest rules in the book are the ones surrounding goals. Because they're unspoken, really. They show up in the form of peer pressure and status given only to those who check certain boxes.  Before you know it, you're working your ass off for something you don't even care about. Let's drop that - shall we?  Here's the visualization I mention in the episode.  (https://open.spotify.com/track/0EOMttvmxYIeMSuX48XSn2?si=58e12a50e1664304) Tune in as I riff on how to set goals yo...

when you are overwhelmed

June 22, 2021 15:42 - 23 minutes - 18.6 MB

Today I'm talking about my go-to practice for escaping overwhelm and getting back to doing business my way. 

setting your own example

June 14, 2021 03:38 - 19 minutes - 19 MB

There has never been, nor will there ever be anyone who does you, like YOU do you. No matter how hard you look, you will never find the perfect iteration of someone living and breathing and doing business exactly the way you want to. You’ll find tons of people you admire for this reason or that - but those people are humans. They’ll inevitably falter or step out of alignment at some point - and knowing this could save your life. I’ve had some seriously deep and impactful conversations s...

anti-rules business

June 07, 2021 02:12 - 31 minutes - 27.5 MB

Rules are subjective. The only rules you have to follow in business are the rules you think you have to follow. Everywhere you look, you will find someone with a rule that you have to follow. I still freaking catch myself, as an anti-rules business coach, find myself thinking that certain rules have to be true. It’s always interesting to catch myself and get curious about why I think it and if those rules could be broken. We are gonna talk about this a lot today, so I’ll pause for now.  ...

prices you are excited to charge

May 29, 2021 03:42 - 29 minutes - 30.6 MB

If you’re not happy with what you’re being paid for the work you do, it’s time to change that...like YESTERDAY.   If you’re not excited about the way and the amount you are being compensated for the work that you do, you’re doing yourself a disservice. You’re doing your clients a disservice. And you’re doing future clients a disservice.    THIS is the most important lesson for you to learn in your business first. Now if you’re here and you’re listening to this episode I can guess tha...
