YOU'RE ALMOST THERE ✦
CALLING ALL pioneers with full time jobs starting a crEATIVE business on the side
Who still haven’t finished that one creative project that would launch their side hustle into another revenue stream…
If there was a predictable, step-by-step method for confidently planning, executing and finishing your creative side hustle project DESPITE YOUR ALREADY FULL TIME LIFE, without the procrastination, perfectionism and crippling self doubt…
WOULD YOU FINALLY FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO get it done?
here’s why anything less than a “hell YES” is
keeping you stuck
Not finishing is worse than not starting.
It’s a cycle.
You’ve spent time, effort, and emotional energy and you literally have nothing to show for it.
Question is:
Are you playing smaller than you actually are so you’re guaranteed to win?
You finish what your job demands of you at work. No sweat. In fact, you’re probably an overachiever. But by the time you get home, your energy is hanging on by a thread and there are no less than 125 things that need to happen between now and the time your head hits the pillow and they’re not going to get done themselves.
If you know that WITHOUT A DOUBT
That you’re capable of so much more but you just don’t have the energy
OR
That your full time life isn’t actually full of the things that you truly enjoy even though you’ve checked all the boxes and your planner is exploding at the seams with exactly NOTHING that ignites you…
Then Keep Reading…
‘Cause what follows could EASILY be the most pivotal moment you look back on in 90 days from now when you’ve finished writing the book draft. Your YouTube videos are filmed. Your podcast has launched. Your online store is ready for its first customers and the PayPal notifications are poppin’ on your phone.
But First…
the question that makes me want to hide
(And Why I Still Want to Throw Up When I Hear It)
It’s a flippant question.
One that people ask you when they haven’t seen you in a while. You may have piqued their interest the last time they saw you and they’re just curious about how far you’ve gotten with it
…which is why they remembered to ask in the first place.
But even still, it’s a landmine to a creative’s fragile heart.
Especially when you aren’t living up to your own expectations of following through and creating because you’re barely scraping by with enough energy to drag yourself to the next step in the lather-rinse-repeat cycle of work, feeding the kids, Netflix, and sleep.
So what’s the question?
Are you still doing that whole coaching business thing?
UGH.
It still makes me want to gracefully exit to the bathroom to politely toss my cookies into a barf bag.
And maybe you can relate.
Because in my mind, there’s no question more poised to provoke a mental meltdown in a struggling creative’s brain than one that makes you question whether that project was even worth starting to begin with.
Especially if you never finished it.
I still remember the first time someone asked me about it.
It was about a year into being certified as a Life Coach and I had decided on my niche and began creating my offer. But somewhere between creating my website, deciding on a content plan and launching my business, I fell back into the trap of life. The life I already desperately wanted to change by becoming a Life Coach.
And my planner confirmed it.
Even though I planned out and coordinated my day job duties and projects to precision, I couldn’t even bring myself to write down ONE doable action that I actually believed I would follow through on in my planner to check off for MY business.
But the painful part wasn’t a lack of ideas. I had a million of them…
It was that I couldn’t finish a single one of them. I had absolutely no results to show for my creativity and it served as a constant reminder of my failed efforts.
My Google drive was a graveyard of failures. It’s where my ideas went to die.
But even still…
I’m grateful people asked that question.
I’m grateful people are asking you about YOUR creative side hustle.
Because that single question… and the ACTIONS you take to finally be able to answer it with unshakeable confidence, holds the key to finishing the creative project that’s holding you up from exploding your potential.
with all those ideas & creativity, isn’t it time you actually started receiving some damn payoff?
With the amount of time you’ve spent overthinking, planning, and the sheer amount of energy you’ve committed to completing this creative business on the side, you DESERVE the payoff.
You deserve to know EXACTLY how to fully leverage your time and energy — waking up every morning knowing what you need to do to execute on your idea in this phase and when it works best for you to complete it. The words, “I don’t have time”, are no longer the most frequent things uttered from your lips.
You deserve to use your creativity to create additional revenue for your family in a way that doesn’t leave you burnt out and angry at yourself. To no longer feel the selfish heart tug-of-war between ignoring your family while you work on your project, even though they are all you can think about. Or when you are with them, the immediate sense of guilt that bubbles to the surface because you’re not working on your project that fulfills you and that’s all you can think about.
You deserve to actually feel like a powerful creator in your own life instead of an idea-generator — jumping from one exciting idea to the next hoping that “this will be the one I can stick to.”
In a moment, I’m going to show you how to FINALLY quiet the inner critic that stops you from finishing.
But first, a few key things you’ve got to wrap your brain around…
The 5 Reasons you’re still stuck not finishing your creative side hustle
(and how to snap out of it right now)
-
Let me guess.
You started this whole creative side hustle thing when the stars aligned on a Saturday morning and you actually had some time to yourself and a full tank of motivation.
But three “MOOOOOoooooom” interruptions and a scroll through each of the socials…
And you’re still right where you started.
You got lost in the “what do I do next” transition and your motivation went with it.
-Should I be spending my time on marketing the thing first? What if no one wants it?
-Where do I actually find the time to write? Paint? Compose? Record?
-Shouldn’t I be hanging out with my kids?
-Should I be working on another part of this? What if I’m doing it in the wrong order?
-I’m just so damn tired.
Ugh. As I said.
Overthinking at it’s finest.
But knowing the right sequence, rituals and strategies that work for YOU - and how to execute on them with complete confidence and inner knowing that allows you to grow your creative side hustle every single day.
What You Need:
Confidence to double down on a super clear, “first do this, then do that” personalized creative strategy that gives you visible momentum and unwavering motivation to keep stacking up your creative side hustle wins.
-
It’s not like you chose to become a member.
In fact, when you got started on this side hustle, you were excited - even *giddy * at the thought of creating something fun that tickled your fancy and could make you some extra cash on the side.
So you worked on it until it became… not fun.
You got to a part where you had to make a series of decisions. Where it took a little extra brain power to decide what to do next. Or it wasn’t coming together as expected and real life started creeping in. It started to become a burden.
Now you’ve sunk into the Overthinking Doom Spiral and you question every decision you’ve made to this point…
And you have no idea how to climb back out.
What You Need:
To leverage a clear plan of small, but mighty action steps that release the weight of the “shoulds” that keep you deep in the spiral — and allow yourself to be guided to their most effective implementation, instead of forcing yourself back into the chair under the crippling weight of self-doubt.
-
The word consistency feels like a prison sentence.
You want the creative freedom to work on what you want, when you want to… but if you’re just not feeling it, then you absolutely REFUSE to have anything to do with it.
You’ve tried a bunch of things — maybe even got a bit of traction. Writing thousands of words over the course of a fleeting vacation. Writing out your podcast topics and a few scripts only to lose them in your Google drive graveyard as soon as you re-enter the reality of your day to day life again. Maybe you heard a few words from someone about your side hustle that you internalized as criticism.
Unfortunately, you’ve never stayed committed to a creative side hustle long enough to see it come to life.
Finishing anything has less to do with time — and everything to do with predicting your own energy and moods.
What You Need:
A strategic overview of your energetic patterns and cycles so you can harness the flow of creativity without fail and predict where to slot in specific actions critical to the success of your creative side hustle.
-
Worst. Game. Ever.
You know you could get it done if you had the free time. So you wait.
You wait until the kids are in school. But then the reality of homework and school lunches creep in. Not to mention , you’re already exhausted from the 8-5 you just finished.
You wait until the kids are out of the house on a Saturday morning… but then the laundry calls your name, the kitchen counter is a mess and you can’t even THINK when the surfaces of your home are cluttered with junk mail, dishes, and kinetic sand. (Where do they even find this shit? I’m 100% sure you threw it all away last time.)
You wait until you’re on vacation…but you’re so burnt out from the work week, that you can’t even bring yourself to crack open your notes to see where you were or where to start again. Besides, you’re the one that has to make sure everyone is wearing sunscreen and there are snacks packed in the cooler to avoid a stop in Meltdown City.
You feel like you have to wait until your obligations slow down before you can start paying attention to your ideas again. To YOU again. So you put it off until later, and later never comes.
What You Need:
To harness your initial enthusiasm to turn your vision into reality, using your personal reality. Not some ideal schedule that only happens when Pluto is in retrograde, there’s a full moon in Capricorn and the solar flares aren’t off the charts.
-
There’s a huge difference between planning a project and planning a project while taking your life into account.
And being aware of this crucial distinction informs every decision you make.
When you’re not in a doom spiral, you are HOT SHIT.
You believe in yourself. You create plans to finish things in half the time it’s taken you to do it before because THIS TIME, it will be different.
Until, it takes three times as long to write that chapter in your book, you’ve had to re-record your podcast because you keep stumbling over your words and now you’re so far off track that you’re in a different time zone.
The Planning Fallacy is an equal opportunity offender. It gives you hope and snatches it away in an instant. It preys on your belief and then pulls the rug out from underneath you.
It makes it hard to trust yourself anymore.
What You Need:
Call 1-800-HOT-SHIT because you’re a victim of the Planning Fallacy. You may be entitled to compensation.
Just kidding. You need a realistic timeline for your creative side hustle planned with missteps, miscalculations and mistakes in mind. A timeline that not only includes your humanness, energy, hormones and moods, but uses them to your advantage.
the good news is…
Finishing a creative project is easier than ever
If you’ve made it this far, you ALREADY know that finishing a creative project to create that side hustle is critical to creating an extra revenue stream.
No need to remind you of that :)
But maybe you didn’t know that finishing the key project in your side hustle using the Creative Flow Framework that I’m about to share with you, you’ll also have the power to:
Use your open brain space and newfound energy to begin profiting from your creative skills.
Possess a powerful and consistently growing asset that gives you the option of freedom.
Enjoy dipping into and out of creative flow instead of being constantly interrupted by the next project, your kids or self-doubt banging down your door.
Finish strong with the project you have in front of your face you actually build a body of work. Create the portfolio. Make the album. Release the episode. Publish the book.
Support deep focus and tune your creative habits so you can see what you’re capable of creating.
Answer with confidence when someone asks, “Are you still do that whole creative project thing?”
YES, these outcomes are totally within reach for you (no matter how many open loops you have between you and finishing)…
…but they DO depend on taking a strategic, step-by-step approach.
One that interrupts your ingrained patterns, restructures your thought cycles and helps you dodge those shiny objects that threaten to overload your momentum.
One that’s been my secret weapon for digging through the millions of ideas that threaten to overwhelm me and pulling the thread to the creative projects that turn me on without losing my damn mind.
And…
One that you’ll excitedly point back to in the next few weeks from now when you see YOUR creative side hustle tasks and projects being checked off one by one in your planner.
And if you’re still with me, then I couldn’t be more excited to introduce you to my signature strategic creativity system…
but wait — who the hell am i to tell you this?
I’m Lindsay Davis. It’s an absolute pleasure to meet you.
And when I’m not serenading my girls with Dua Lipa and the best of 90’s hip hop between the park and drama class, napping, or dancing in the kitchen with my husband, I run Lindsay Davis Coaching - a high level coaching and energy implementation business that expands creatives with full time LIVES into finishers minus the burnout.
I’m no guru or overpriced business coach that tells you it’s just your thoughts but doesn’t give you any solid action steps. But I do know how to blend the left and right sides of your brain together to produce strategic creativity.
I’ve been exactly where you are and my energetic cycle hasn’t changed a damn bit. I just know how to leverage what I DO have and I know when to deploy it.
And if you allow me to do it, here’s where I plan on taking you and your creative side hustle:
Get in baby - you’ve got magical shit to do. And laundry… a shit ton of laundry.

Questions your fellow creatives with full time lives have asked before saying “yes” to FINISHIT ™.
-
I hear you! It’s honestly the entire reason you’re here right now. You’re using your brain space to overthink and ruminate which only results in more of the same.
Interrupting your patterns and using your unique energetic blueprint will take about 5-7 hours per week.
You already know that your current way of life is built on a never-ending time crunch, so our one to one exclusive coaching sessions will take one hour. And from that place of clarity, we unlock the space for your creativity to come through.
It’s one hour that changes how you look at your entire week. It’s one hour where you can think and talk it out uninterrupted. You can hear your own intuition. You can hear the call loud and clear. You decide your next heart led action and you eliminate the shit that doesn’t fit.
-
It ends here. It’s been one of my biggest vulnerabilities. I used to give up on myself faster than anyone else ever would.
So I’ll tell you a secret – This program isn’t really about finishing, it’s about trusting yourself.
It’s not just your mind that’s in control of how you show up in this lifetime. It’s a combination of your hormones, capacity for energy, boundaries, rest, your physical body, and your soul. It’s how you function as a human being in the environment you’re in.
And we’re all different.
So there’s a reason that general advice and the one size fits all solutions don’t work. This solution, however, is tailored to you and your circumstances.
-
So have I! I love that shit.
But what we’re doing here is extremely focused, outcome based and uses your unique energy blueprint. No other productivity tool takes that into account.
Design and implement the energetic system that produces strategic creativity for YOU.
There won’t be any theories or case studies that don’t apply to your situation to sift through.
Just the hyper specific action steps that help you finish that creative project ASAP.
-
A resounding fuck yes. Because same.
No matter how much temporary discomfort or self-doubt you may be experiencing right now, if you were tapped on the shoulder by the muse, I believe you were chosen to create what’s on your heart from your unique perspective.
That’s why I’ve designed every aspect of Finish It to help you unlock and activate this innate and natural capacity.
By the time we’re done, you’ll not only have a finished project in hand, but you’ll feel more fully capable as the creative you were born to be.
still undecided?
You’re ready to start checking off your creative project wins inside FINISHIT if…
You’re just getting started on your creative project and want to make sure you absolutely nail it right out of the gate by using your energetic blueprint to fit your goals seamlessly into your life.
You’ve been trying to figure out how to jump back into your creative project for months (or even years), but you haven’t been able to find the energy or enthusiasm you were hoping for… and the energy you do have is waning by the day in your already swamped life.
You already KNOW what steps you need to do to finish your creative project. Sure, you need to tweak how you go about setting up your time and energy to make it work, and how to rearrange your life around the vision you hold in your head — but for the most part, you know what needs to happen to make it a reality.
You have no problem investing a couple of hours per week as long as you know that every bit of energy you invest is a strategic and meaningful step toward finishing your creative project.
In fact, you’ve already invested time and energy doing the damn thing before you got stuck. Only problem is, that without a clear energy strategy, you’re losing traction with every false start and “why even bother” result. The crippling self doubt and overwhelm about what to do next is just a lovely parting gift before you set that shit on the back burner again.
You are sensitive to your energy. You get skeptical when people say, “just do it”, with no regard for your energetic capacity or fall out from hasty actions. That’s why you appreciate how FINISHIT teaches you to use your personalized energetic blueprint… without getting caught up in overthinking, or making things confusing.
You’re aware of all the doors that will open once you finish your creative project. You know — opportunities to create on spec, publishing deals, podcast appearances, pre-selling your next product, etc. And you’re EXTRA excited that you will know how to direct your energy to all the future creative projects that come after.
You’re excited to try the Creative Flow Framework. Even if you’ve been side-tracked by this whole life thing, you’re currently riding the wave of “hell yes”, knowing that in the next few weeks, you can be tuned in, tapped in, turned on in an easy to follow methodology to compound your creative wins every day.
You feel confident grabbing your consult details knowing there’s no commitment to test it out. It’s simple. Either you show up for the consult, lay it all out and experience a shift in what’s possible for you… or you hit undo on this whole “finish your creative project” experiment.
Did you catch yourself nodding along?
If you answered “YES” to at least 6 of these 9 points — you’re more than ready to FINISHIT.
By now, you already know the confidence to finish your creative side hustle, even with a full time life, comes down to the one thing no other productivity tool takes into account…
YOUR
energy
So if you’re still here… let’s wrap this up with some real talk.
If you’re a writer and you want to create a name for yourself as a novelist, a thought leader, or want nothing more than to bring your stories to life and publish them for the world to see… you need FINISHIT.
If you’re a maker and you want to sell your hand-crafted jewelry, pottery, t-shirts, or stickers to make some cash on the side while adding genuine beauty, laughter or snark into this world… then you need FINISHIT.
If you’re a music producer and you want to create, capture, manipulate and preserve the music of our generation so it can be enjoyed while connecting your fellow human beings with a vibe… then you need FINISHIT.
If you’re an artist and you want to connect with the buyers that fall in love with your vision, your self-expression, your storytelling through color and reflection… then you need FINISHIT.
If you’re a podcaster or YouTuber and you want people to hear your voice, promote your business, broaden your reach and give you some credibility… then you need FINISHIT.
If you’ve been stuck for too long, stretched too thin and are nearing the burnout phase… you need FINISHIT.
And…
If you’ve got your sights set on long term growth (and the pursuit of new opportunities that expand your creative side hustle into multiple revenue streams).. Then you need FINISHIT.
If you’re ready, I look forward to partnering with you to make this the most rewarding and impactful 90 days your creativity has experienced all year.
