How To Think Like A Talented Creator
Description
My eBook is for anyone passionate about their dreams and talent but lacking the confidence 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.
How To Think Like A Talented Creator dives into the four fundamental pillars needed for long-term creative success: craft, identity, mindset and marketing. These pillars function independently and collaboratively to get your work out there, where it deserves to be seen, heard, and appreciated.
Whether you’re starting out, a veteran, or getting back in the groove, I hope my book will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone — so you can create what you’ve been holding inside of you all this time.
