How to Completely Overcome the One Agonizing Puzzle Every Artist Faces
Got 99 problems?
We won’t finish that sentence...but we think there’s one problem that plagues every creative.
It’s the artist in the mirror.
In this passionate discussion from one of our Creative Checkups, we dig deep into the mindset shift that can bring external problems into perspective - by making ourselves the focus of our problem-solving process.
No matter how the industry changes, or how the culture responds to new challenges, we creatives have the power to change our circumstances by making internal and practical adjustments, instead of waiting for circumstances to change.
