Marcella Garcia: I’m learning a lot from these conversations where I'm reaching out to see how creatives in ATX build a sustainable living, but I want to be more intentional about how I use the time between them. I’d love help defining what meaningful progress looks like over the next month while outreach plays out.

• There isn't one formula on how to build a more sustainable living doing creative work. Everybody else is figuring it out, but they’re just micro steps ahead.
• Explore the idea of earning from providing workshops for post workflows and structures, and part-time content creation.
• Get a better sense of what you want and don’t want, who you want to become in the  process, and what you’re not willing to sacrifice as part of the Exploratory Phase.
• Consider your values (storytelling, autonomy and connection), to evaluate every opportunity if it aligns or pulls you away from your goals.
• Weigh-in on the values that might work against each other and find out which is a priority and which needs to be compromised.
• Narrow your focus on who you’re connecting with and get a better sense of what might work for you (using ChatGPT).
• Identify where your past experience makes you uniquely valuable in a new context, turning ordinary skills into rare expertise depending on the room you are in.
