Every creative entrepreneur has horror stories of nightmare project, plus rainbow and unicorn stories of once-in-a-lifetime dream projects, plus the whole spectrum in between those two extremes. But that’s what it means to be a creative, right? What if I were to tell you that your creative life doesn’t have to be spent vacillating between the amazing and the awful, and instead can be focused on just the amazing? Would that change things for you? Today’s episode is all about that: how to spend your creative life working on projects that you find creatively fulfilling and that pay you your absolute best rates. That’s what I call your creative and financial sweet spot, and today’s episode is all about helping you live in that sweet spot in your work.
In this episode, you will learn
- How to define what makes a project creatively fulfilling for you, and why it matters.
