In this week's episode, I delve into the importance of play and experimentation in a creative career. I discuss how personal work can lead to new opportunities and help you better understand your own interests and goals. I also offer some practical advice on how to balance commercial work with personal projects, and how to know when it's time to move on from a creative endeavor. This is a continuation of the Q&A show I did a few weeks ago, where I answered listener questions about creativity, career, and life. Tune in for some valuable insights and inspiration for your own creative journey. Questions we dive into: What changes do you need in your support system as your business grows? What can a solopreneur do when they are feeling directionless and are not sure what to do next? What do you like to shoot for personal work to keep you motivated for commercial work? How do you know when it is time to transition away from a creative endeavor or project? Enjoy!
