Blazing Your Own Creative PathI've learned in my 11-ish years of grinding on the side post-college there is no “one-size-fits-all” creative career path.I used to try and follow in my idol's footsteps the realms of art, design, podcasting, speaking, etc.However, following someone else's path only made me feel like an unfulfilled and unsuccessful version 2.0 of them.Instead, I decided to bet on myself and do things my way OUTSIDE a day job, family, and life responsibilities.That's what blazing your own path is all about:Making moves on your own terms.Being patient and NOT seeking shortcuts.Staying focused with your eyes on the prize.My goal with this episode is to put you in a position to do your thing full-time one day.RESOURCES & REFERENCESPP 204: Slow & Steady GrindPP 206: Imposter SyndromePP 209: Planting SeedsJoin the for Side Hustler's Coaching Waitlist----GET A GLOBAL PODCAST SHOUTOUTBecome a future Listener of the Week by Subscribing and leaving a Rating & Review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes here.FREE TOOLKIT TO SIDE HUSTLE FREEDOM6 FREE resources to help you grow an audience and build a profitable creative side hustle outside your day job. Download here.FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREONWith as little as your weekly cup of coffee, you can support the growth of this show by backing us on Patreon.JOIN THE PRIVATE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY FOR CREATORSJoin a like-minded FREE global community of kickass creators and take your side hustle to the next level. Your family is waiting.PURCHASE THE SIDE HUSTLER'S HANDBOOK PDF COURSEThe proven framework that'll help you gain clarity, confidence, and a mental edge to unlock your biggest side hustling breakthrough. Purchase here.BEST DEALS ON THE BEST DESIGN RESOURCES (Affiliates)Engaged Community Guide - A FREE guide for growing an audience around you and your work.
