The blessings and the curse of the multitalented. Where do you start?

Creative Business Mindset

Are you multi-talented but stuck in analysis paralysis, trying to pick the “right” path? In this episode, Joké Durojaiye shares a powerful, practical approach to help multi-passionate creatives, students, and entrepreneurs overcome the overwhelm and move forward with clarity.

From the advice she gave her college-bound daughter to the lessons she’s learned from her own entrepreneurial journey, Joké breaks down how to identify your “moneymaker talent,” create financial stability, and still leave room to explore your creative passions—without going broke or burning out.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why being multi-talented is a gift and a challenge
• The real reason you might be stuck in decision fatigue
• How to identify your moneymaker talent (aka the one that pays now)
• Why your first focus should be income, not passion
• What to do when your dream audience can’t afford your services
• The power of financial stability as a launchpad for creativity
• A step-by-step approach to monetize your talent, even with no budget
• How to set clear monthly income goals and reverse-engineer your success
• Pro tips for building momentum and staying consistent
• The importance of making space to explore passions guilt-free
• Why it's okay to pivot—and how to do it with grace

Joké’s Action Steps for You:

1. Identify your most monetizable talent
   (Hint: It’s not necessarily the one you love most—it’s the one the market will pay for now.)
2. Set a clear income goal and reverse-engineer how many clients or sales you need.
3. Be consistent—a little effort each day adds up.
4. Protect your creative time and explore other talents once your bills are paid.
5. Give yourself the grace to pivot—you're not locked into one path forever.
