How To Think Like A Talented Creator
Description
This eBook is for artists and creators who are passionate about their dreams and talent but lack the psychological support system to pursue them. As an artist and creator myself, I know how hard it can be to create new work, especially when you feel alone. That's why I wrote this eBook: so you know you're not alone.
My eBook dives into four fundamental pillars you need to understand for artistic and creative success: craft, identity, mindset and marketing. These four pillars function independently and collaboratively to get your work out there, where it deserves to be seen and appreciated. As I write in the book: "It's not about how much talent you have, it's how you use it."
Whether you're starting out, a veteran, or getting back in the groove, I hope this eBook will encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and create what you've been wanting to create all this time.
Warmly,
Johan
