Treating your job like a chore

Not paying attention

Showing up late

Showing up inappropriately dressed

Wild card

Successful People Do's

1.) Feed your Inner Artist: Regardless of what type of creative artist you are you need to find the time to read, and visit, and explore the work of other artists both inside and outside of your chosen genre. You need to find a way to constantly expand your creative horizons.

2.) Practice your Craft- It’s about honoring that little creative voice inside of you that refuses to be buried beneath the incessant demands of everyday life. When you sit down daily to practice your art, you are reminding yourself of its importance in your life. We need to find a way to create something (anything) that wasn’t there yesterday and then offer it to the world

3.) Put something out there every day- Create — Share — Repeat There are two parts to being a creative artist. First we must create something, but then we must put the work out there. You have to share what you create.

4.) Connect & Inspire-As important as it is to get your own work out there in order to receive feedback, you also need to find a way to provide feedback to other artists as well.

5.) Give us what you got, then let it go! Don’t worry if it’s good enough or whether it’s better or worse than what you’ve done before. Your job is simply to create it, put it out there, and then move on. In the end, your work is your work — it’s not who you are or what you might become.

No creative effort is ever wasted – brick by brick, word by word, layer by layer you will build your creative life.
