#393: Most Pure Creatives Are Selfish (Here’s Why That Matters)


Listen Later

Pure creatives are selfish.

They create art for themselves.

And your potential clients don’t care about your personal creativity.

They care about what's in it for them.

So as a creative, we can't just be selfishly isolated in our little rooms creating art for art's sake because it fulfills us.

When it comes to actually being a business owner, we have to create real value for other people, which means we can't be selfish when it comes to our creativity.

We have to share it with others.

As it says on the wall behind me in my office, “It takes more than passion.”

If you’re running a freelance business, don’t forget - you’re running a business.

And that takes entrepreneurial skills that may not come naturally for many creatives.

This week’s episode is about finding the sweet spot between creativity and entrepreneurship.

Both the creative and the entrepreneur are essential elements of your freelance business…

And there are good parts and bad parts of both.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Balancing the creative and entrepreneurial sides of your brain
  • What entrepreneurs understand that creatives don't
  • Using people, processes, and systems, to create value
  • Keeping your creative spark alive
  • Scheduling time for creative and entrepreneurial tasks
  • Expanding your horizons by joining communities and finding mentors
