3 Business Truths I’m Taking with Me After the WC Mastermind

When you run your own business—especially a creative one—it’s easy to get caught in the rhythm of projects, deadlines, and deliverables. You spend so much time working in your business that it’s hard to work on it.

That’s why I make time to step back, recharge, and surround myself with others who are on the same path. The WC Mastermind was exactly that—two days of sharpening, alignment, and perspective with filmmakers and producers from across the country.

Here are the 3 biggest lessons I’m carrying forward from the experience:

1. “I will never outperform my identity.”

This was one of those lines that hit like a lightning bolt.

It’s easy to think that growth comes from new tools, better gear, or smarter marketing—but in reality, it starts internally. The truth is, your business will never outgrow the person leading it.

For me, that means constantly checking in with who I’m becoming—not just what I’m producing.

Am I leading my clients with integrity? Am I showing up for my team with consistency? Am I carving out space for creativity, rest, and prayer—or am I just grinding endlessly because it looks productive?

As my business scales, I’m realizing identity shapes everything—from how I price projects to how I lead on set. When my mindset is strong, decisions are cleaner. When my values are centered, opportunities align. That’s the kind of growth I want to sustain.

2. “You can’t get supernatural results without supernatural ideas.”

That one came from a session that dove into creativity and conviction.

It’s easy in this industry to get caught up in the hustle—turning projects fast, hitting deadlines, keeping clients happy. But the truth is, creative excellence doesn’t come from chaos. It comes from clarity.

Supernatural ideas—the ones that move people—aren’t found in a checklist or a Pinterest board. They come when you slow down enough to listen. When you step away from the noise, trust your instincts, and lean into where the idea wants to go.

For me, that’s often tied to prayer and discernment. I’ve learned that the best concepts, the ones that truly resonate, come when I’m aligned spiritually and creatively.

So going forward, I’m guarding that space. I’m not just chasing “better work.” I’m chasing deeper work—the kind that has purpose built into every frame.

3. Show up or stay silent—just don’t do it halfway.

This might sound like a content tip, but it’s really a mindset shift.

Too many creative entrepreneurs post sporadically or wait for the “perfect” project to share. I’ve done it too—holding back because the lighting wasn’t perfect or the edit wasn’t polished. But here’s the thing: consistency beats perfection every single time.

The Mastermind reminded me that the goal isn’t to be flawless, it’s to be present. To show up consistently, even when things aren’t perfect, because momentum builds through visibility.

That doesn’t just apply to social media—it applies to leadership, client relationships, and even faith. Every small action compounds. Every post, every follow-up, every intentional conversation—it all matters.

From here on out, I’m showing up fully. Not halfway. Not when it’s convenient. Fully.

Final Thought

Each of these lessons is connected by one common thread: alignment.

When your identity is strong, your ideas flow, and your consistency compounds.

That’s the real takeaway from the WC Mastermind for me—this isn’t about chasing success faster, it’s about building a foundation that can hold the weight of it when it comes.
