The life of a creative isn’t always simple.
Your passion for your work and the way it touches people is what helps your brilliance shine — but passion can also be a burden. There are inevitably moments when your dedication to your art and authenticity conflicts with what’s unfolding in your life, or the projects you create for your clients and commercial use.
Every artist has a battle to fight.
- With procrastination.
- With communication.
- With perfectionism.
- With charging what you’re worth.
- With any shape or shade of demon or struggle
Over time, you handle our #1 challenge better. Some days we win, and some days we still surrender. But it’s always there, challenging our flow and our dedication to the deadline.
So: what’s your obstacle?
What is that friction you find yourself slamming into when you work? What is the biggest opponent of your creation process that you’re still trying to overcome?
And, most importantly, what are your tactics for fighting back? What’s worked? What hasn’t? And how do you stay focused on the greatness ahead?
Share it with us. Share it with that stranger who might face the same struggle.
Reveal your obstacle, and shed a little light the path you take back home.
