Always think bigger than your resources allow, by this I mean think about what's next. By limiting ourselves to what we currently have the means to create we only slow our progress. Knowing when to take a leap and when to hold your course comes with experience and intuition.
Diversify, don't put all your eggs in one basket thinking you have a sure thing. Creation is never limited, so why should we limit ourselves to one type of product? Competition is fierce and building an audience can be a daunting task in this current environment but with persistence and quality we can reach many.
Never expect anyone to do anything for you, but at the same time be grateful for the unexpected opportunities that are given to you. Finding your niche means a lot of hours spent working for free but look at the time spent as an investment not a loss. Learn to say no to those who wish to use you for their own personal gain but cherish those who trust in you to create something wonderful.
Treat every moment of the day as an opportunity to advance. Being your own person is hard work but has infinite rewards. All that we do we should do with all our heart, our passion will be our guide.
The world can ryn flawlessly in any state of advacement and even settle there indefinitely. We can learn one way of doing something and toil our lives away in this one method and earth will live on with perfection.
ReplyDeleteBut what kind of life is that?
As humans, we need to constantly push limits and break free of old ways. Imagination and creativity push the boundaries of the present day norm. We never needed smart phones but we wanted them and made it happen. The best of humanity comes from those who thrive for things we did not really need, and the world is somehow better for it.
Absolutely, pushing the boundaries and breaking free of the old is what being a creative entrepreneur is all about. To be able to stand on your own two feet in the current system without being a cog in the machine is the first step in advancing.
DeleteBeing a business owner means you have a great deal of credibility in these matters. Being a creative entrepreneur is not just about finding a market, but building one. Still, with persistence and quality great things can be accomplished.
ReplyDeleteBuilding a market is indeed important for a creative entrepreneur. Anything worthwhile starts with a quality foundation.
DeleteI admire how you are using all your experience in business for planning for your artistic ventures. You are not letting your days of non-creative labor go waste by converting it into creativity: now THAT is creative thinking.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, with all of our experiences we can learn what our talents are and use them to move forward.
