Following our conversations about all the hats we must wear as small creative business men and women is the necessity for each of us to be a self starter.  We’ve talked about planning your business, setting goals and seeing your business strategically.  We’ve even talked about how to stay motivated.  But how can we, who often are working alone, self motivate and create productive work ethics that put all of that planning into action?

At its core, any conversation about self starting is really about organizational skills and time management.  These are the same lessons we got in college, and any number of self-help programs we’ve subscribed to.  So let’s take those strategies, that advice, and apply it to a small entrepreneurial creative business. 

John Bishop Fine Art's "Conversations for Freelance Creatives" is a weekly blog/vlog/podcast that creates a community, a conversation, between creatives in all sorts of fields at all sorts of levels.  We want to discuss what we’re learning, what we’ve experienced, and whom we’ve met in our journey of running a freelance creative business. John Bishop is a visual artist living in Houston, Texas. His work is largely abstract, and explores how to turn mythic, archetypal symbols into individual experiences allowing us to see them in a new way, with fresh eyes. His work can be seen online, or at his studio at Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, Studio 108, in Houston.
