How to Turn Idea Overload Into Profit: A Simple Strategy for Creative Entrepreneurs

If your Notes app is starting to feel like a digital graveyard of half-finished million-dollar ideas… you're not alone.

And you're not lazy.
You're just maxed out.

As a creative entrepreneur running a six-figure-ish business, chances are high that you have:

• A thriving client roster or steady sales

• A pile of fresh ideas for new offers, content, or streams of income

• And absolutely no time, energy, or mental space to execute them

Welcome to the bottleneck.

In this week’s episode of This Rad Life: Unfiltered, I’m talking about idea overwhelm—and how to actually do something with all those genius flashes clogging up your brain and burning a hole in your to-do list.

The High Cost of Idea Overload

You built this thing. You're good at what you do. But if you're being honest, your business might be quietly suffocating under the weight of too many ideas and no filter.

Here's how it usually plays out:

• You’ve got five half-baked offers and twelve marketing plans in your notes

• You're reacting all day instead of leading

• Your to-do list looks like a Pinterest board exploded

You're not behind. You're just doing too much—and none of it with the clarity you need to scale.

That’s where my Rule of 3 comes in.

The Rule of 3: How to Filter the Noise and Actually Execute

This is the dead-simple idea filter I teach my clients to stop drowning in creative chaos and start building real momentum:

1. If the idea comes once: Notice it. Let it go.

2. If it comes again: Jot it down. You're allowed to write it in one place.

3. If it shows up a third time—or the universe sends you a sign? That’s your cue to take action (a small step, not a 12-point launch plan).

Ideas that are meant for you will come back. The rest? Let them live in the land of undone ideas. No guilt no shame.

What Makes or Breaks a Scalable Creative Business

Most creatives don’t have a content or strategy problem—they have a capacity problem.

They’re doing everything themselves. Jumping from idea to idea. Making money but not keeping enough of it. And quietly wondering if they’re just bad at business.

You're not.

You just need a system that:

• Honors how your brain actually works

• Prioritizes profit and simplicity

• Turns your best ideas into focused execution

This is the work I do with clients inside my private coaching. Whether you’re running a community arts space, a coaching brand, or a tattoo shop—your ideas need scaffolding, not shame.
