A Penny For Your Entrepreneurial Thoughts…

Leave a comment

One thing I’m learning in this season is that if you don’t ask for what you want, you won’t get it.

I’ve been thinking about what I want for my business and how to ask for in a way that is sincere and authentic to my own personality and brand. Asking can be as simple as telling your graphic designer that you prefer red to blue as the featured colour in your promotional material, or as risky as sending a proposal to a funding organization for a grant.

Bottom line is, that if you don’t ask, you won’t receive. And the worst thing that could happen is “no.” Because what if they say “yes?”

What are you asking for these days?

The Daily Routines of Creative Folk…

One of the things I’ve been working on this past month is refining my daily routine. There are soo many projects, soo many ideas, soo many people to network with and time is of the essence!

I’m fine tuning my dailies and sticking to them.

A friend of mine posted the above infographic on his facebook page awhile back and I found it pretty insightful and encouraging for two reasons:

  1. As a creative, it’ ok that I don’t fit into the typical 9-5 grind
  2. My daily grind and process is different and perfectly fine

Everyone’s grind is different and once you come to terms with the way you work, you lend yourself to greater productivity and unique work

Recognizing that your creative process is different and accepting it for what it is can lend to the uniqueness of work and greater productivity.

What does your daily work routine look like?
