From Crushed to Crushing It: Find Your Creator Performance Blind Spots

Are you a business owner struggling to make content creation work for your coaching, courses, consulting, or book sales?

You're not alone. Most entrepreneurs treat content as an afterthought – and it shows in their results.

Here's the thing: Content creation feels overwhelming because you're trying to figure out what to say, which platforms actually work, and how to keep up with constantly changing algorithms. So you either try to be everywhere at once (and get nowhere), or you avoid it altogether.

But what if there was a better way?

Think About Your Creative Career Differently

This 10-question quiz will get you thinking about your content creation career in a different way – through the lens of high performance.

It's helpful to think of your creative career more holistically, because there are 5 levers you can pull to improve your performance:

✅ Clarity - Knowing exactly who you serve and what you offer

✅ Energy - Having the fuel to create consistently

✅ Courage - Pushing through fear and showing up authentically

✅ Productivity - Getting the right things done efficiently

✅ Influence - Creating content that actually moves people to action

From Someone Who Gets It

Hi, I'm Shawn Buttner, and I'm what you might call an "accidental creator."

I've been a certified high performance coach since 2015, but like you, I needed to create content to support my coaching business. And honestly? I was terrible at it for a long time.

I've created over 700 YouTube videos. Until recently, I was averaging 0-1 views per video with just 10 subscribers. Now I average about 30 views and have just under 100 subscribers. Not viral numbers, but real progress.

The turning point? I stopped winging it and hoping people would watch. Instead, I got clarity on how to package my content and who my audience really was. I learned to script my hooks, titles, and thumbnails to speak directly to content creators who struggle to create sustainable creative careers – especially business owners like you, where content isn't your main thing.

I've since helped dozens of creators and professionals improve their performance and lives. I'm also the host of The Creators That Crush Podcast and a certified coach through the High Performance Institute.

One of my favorite success stories: I worked with a client who was trying to be everywhere and getting zero results. We identified which platform would be best for them and focused on getting great at just one. Now they have a thriving business that walks people through their course, with their target customers clearly in mind. It's been more successful than they could have dreamed.
