Making a living as a creative professional is no easy feat, but it is possible with the right mindset and strategies. In this illuminating episode, we dive deep into the realities of forging a sustainable career doing what you love.
We'll start by exploring the importance of having multiple income streams and passions to support your artistic pursuits.
Speaking your truth in a business environment can be tricky. We'll offer guidance on navigating difficult conversations and advocating for yourself without burning bridges. And for those who dream of being "the talent," we'll unpack the joys and challenges of managing a team.
The harsh realities of the entertainment industry are unavoidable, so we'll pull back the curtain on "The Truth About Hollywood."
At the heart of sustainable creativity lies the ability to surrender to the process. We'll discuss how to let go of perfectionism and embrace the ebbs and flows. And we'll tackle the twin demons of fear - the paralysis of failure and the pitfalls of success.
Finally, we'll highlight the vital importance of adaptability and safeguarding your mental health. The path of the creative is never linear, so flexibility and self-care are essential.
