Are you spending more of your life running towards something or away from something? Most of us are doing one or the other. For the vast majority of the world, perhaps especially the photography and creative industry at large the idea of the hustle, the grind, the no days off mindset takes us on a constant rollercoaster of brief moments of inspiration and near total burn out. Creative fatigue lurks behind every corner because we confuse two key things. Busyness and productivity. Today's episode is all about breaking down the fallacy of the hustle. Listen, after 15 years running a successful photography business I can certainly say I've spent more weeks working over 50 hours than I have under but what I've learned is this : I waste as much time as I spend and I can't get any of it back. The reason so many creatives lose their passion, their focus, and their relevance isn't creative evaporation, it's constant fatigue and you know what we need? A break. The grace to step away from the camera, our inboxes, social media, networking events, education and plug into our families and friends. The intentionality to dive head first into a life lived with purpose and careers spent fulfilling a passion that reflects that purpose rather than just perpetual busyness. The scarcity is in your head. The fear is holding you back. The answer may not be more work but more intentional play.
