Welcome back to another round of deep dives into the creative psyche. Today, we're picking up where we left off from Part 1, delving deeper into what it truly means to thrive, earn money, and keep your fire in the creative industry.
We discuss how just like health, business and relationships, being a Creative is a game with an ‘immortal finish line’ – Meaning the win, is when you can continue to play. When first diving into creativity it’s often easy to make progress because there’s a lot to learn, but what happens when you’ve progressed through the 80%, and now to learn the final 20% it takes maximum effort. We discuss that too.
Success in the creative realm often dances to its own beat.
