Listen "054: The Six Components, Revisited"
Episode Synopsis
When I’m working with artists, the most frequent question they ask is how they should structure their creative business. How do they know which tasks in their creative entrepreneurship life are worth their time? How should their business work if they want that business to support them and fulfill them in all the ways they need to be supported and fulfilled: personally, creatively, and financially? What does a functioning creative business look like? Today, let’s discuss.
In this episode, you will learn:
What six components thriving creative businesses share in common.
How to implement those six components within your creative business.
Why establishing supportive habits will free you to do your best creative work.
What role the financial aspects of your business play in helping your creative business thrive overall.
How these six components can help you maintain a steady income in your business, getting you off the “feast or famine” roller coaster.
In this episode, I reference the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definitions of systematized, marketing, and networking. I also reference this Vanity Fair article, in which US President Barak Obama talks about what he does to reduce his decision fatigue.
In addition, I reference several previous episodes of this podcast:
