The Art of Business
A lot of us choose professions such as design, writing, marketing and entrepreneurship because we are creative. We want to use that creativity to express ourselves and somehow help the world. But somewhere along the way in our careers we get distracted with the need for survival or the ambition to win and we lose sight of the big picture. Isn’t it all about creating and helping? How did it become all about moving up the hierarchy, playing it safe, settling the score with a colleague or trying to look good?
I got this article, The Art of Business from Creative Pro sent to me yesterday and I think it is offers some excellent tips on how to bring art back into your life.
I like the way that it focuses on the need to look internally, such as developing a one-year plan, but it also discusses external things such as teaching or using your talents for non-profits. It doesn’t suggest making dramatic moves or even going to therapy… it just offers practical advice on how to enrich the creative side of your life.
