Being a creator is eight jobs
Nobody tells you this part. You started because you make a thing, and then quietly you also became the person who decides what it costs, who it is for, where it goes, what you sign, and whether this month worked.

Nobody hands you the org chart for that. So here it is, one page per job, already filled in with placeholder numbers. Swap them for yours.

:CHECKLIST
The eight jobs you are already doing
[ ] Positioning: who it is for and who it is not for
[ ] Pricing: what you sell and what it costs
[ ] Rate card: what a brand pays and what they get
[ ] Pipeline: how an idea becomes something published
[ ] Distribution: where it goes and how often
[ ] Money: what comes in, what goes out, how long you last
[ ] Contracts: what you signed and what you gave away
[ ] Tools: what leaves your account every month

:NOTE
Every page here is a template, not an essay. The numbers are made up on purpose. Clone this, put your own in, and it becomes the thing you check before saying yes to a brand instead of guessing at midnight.

:QUOTE [quotetype:plain, subtitle:the part nobody puts in the highlight reel]
You are not behind. You are doing eight jobs and comparing yourself to people doing the same eight badly.

How to use it
Start with Positioning and Pricing. Those two decide most of the others. Rate card can wait until someone asks. Contracts matters the day it matters and not one day earlier which is exactly why it should already be written down.
