You know, living the creative life is hard. There are the seasons when you are constantly churning out work; it seems effortless, painless, and fun. Then there are the times the creative well is dry and you struggle to accomplish anything. During these moments, have you found yourself asking: how do I find balance between my life and business? How do I grow when I am struggling to take care of today? What do I need to do to make it? In this episode of Getting Work To Work, I want to help you answer those questions with six ways you can use to fuel your inspiration, motivation, and action:
- Acquire experiences, not stuff
- Go on adventures
- Indulge your curiosity
- Create with your hands
- Tell new stories
- Find ways to merge what you know with what you want to learn
Here is a quote from The Design Entrepreneur by Steven Heller and Lita Talarico: “Whether personal or collective, drive is the common denominator of all entrepreneurial pursuit; of course, then comes the brilliant idea, and finally, the fervent wherewithal to make and market the result. … In terms of physics, two forces—will and intelligence—must be fused in order to generate enough energy to take the entrepreneurial plunge and it’s not always easy.”
