Most artists don't think of themselves as entrepreneurs and most entrepreneurs don't think of themselves as artists. And yet.... They've each chosen high-risk career paths which require many of the same skills to survive.

The most successful creatives I know came into their career with flexibility in mind. They are successful now, but... They didn't imagine that what they're actually doing is where they would end up.

I'm a huge fan of micro-movements... ...Big sweeping changes that happen by thousands of small actions, led by people like you who are trying to make the world a better place. Change the world one step at a time.

The notion that we are fully baked after we leave college is nuts. Artists, creatives, and makers understand that if they are going to remain relevant, they must be committed to lifelong learning.

Need a strategy for tackling you most important projects? Identify 2-hour, daily blocks in your calendar for uninterrupted work. If you can manage it, try to block off a larger amount o time (4-6 hrs) at least once a week to tackle big stuff. Also....turn off your phone.

Mechanics in the arts recreate art better than anyone else in the world. Designers in the arts create a new art and share their work with the world. So... Are you a MECHANIC or are you a DESIGNER?

The most successful artists I've worked with have redefined their version of what success means. Many find happiness in the process.

If you have a conversation with most creatives who care deeply about thier work, you will often find it was not their art that drew them to the work. It was the beautiful relationships they formed with like-minded people all working toard a common goal. What drew you in?
