I'm committed to revealing light in the world in everything I do, including this podcast. I believe revealing light is in large part the reason why I'm here on this earth. But as my guest today, Jeff Goins so aptly puts it, every light casts a shadow. Jeff and I discussed how often we end up chasing the shadows rather than chasing the light. It's easy to focus on your social media persona or keeping up with the neighbors, especially when that new Tesla shows up in their driveway. But are you ignoring the realities of your deeper life or what it truly takes to get that Tesla?  Jeff is the bestselling author of five books including the Art of Work and Real Artists Don't Starve. He   founded the Tribe Warriors writing community and has an award-winning blog. Jeff opens up about how his personal struggles gave him lessons and leadership. We discussed the shadow monsters of impostor syndrome, shame and trauma. Jeff says you can do really great things while still feeling incomplete. And while every writer can struggle when confronted by that blank page, Jeff's story is both insightful and inspirational. And now on with the show!

Author, speaker, and entrepreneur Jeff Goins talks about his most recent book, Real Artists Don't Starve, shares the connection between boredom and jealousy, why you should make good habits easy, and why every creative should "practice in public."  Curious to hear 10 freelancers' best advice?

This episode is a special one. Recently, my friend Jeff Goins came to visit me in Florida for a few days of deep conversations, beach time, and drinking bourbon. We decided to record one of our conversations for the podcast, and it turned out to be pretty ... unique. Jeff is a multiple time best-selling author, and his most recent book is titled Real Artists Don't Starve.  We've spoken at each other's conferences, encouraged each other in our work, and have a genuinely great time whenever we talk about work, relationships, and life.

Struggling with creativity for marketing your agency? Looking for ways to increase subscribers and opt-ins? In today's creative-driven landscape is now easier than ever to thrive. Don't let uncertainty or mental blocks get the best of you. Take some actionable steps that will cement your creativity and transform it into results. In this episode, we'll cover: It's time to try the one creative thing you've been ignoring. #1 most important creative tip. 2 rules for creative agency owners. Today, I talked to Jeff Goins, founder of GoinsWriter.com and author of several popular books — including Real Artists Don't Starve — who also teaches online classes and hosts events. He's not just a writer. Jeff is a writer that fell in love with marketing. After working at a non-profit for years, Jeff's writings skills and entrepreneurial spirit led him to a life as an amazing creative. Today, Jeff's going to share some juicy tips straight out of his new book. It's Time to Try the One Thing You've Been Ignoring Yes, that thing. You know the thing. It's that chatbot you're afraid to implement, or podcast you're afraid to start, or the video marketing you've put off.  Sure, you've got plenty of excuses to avoid that thing, but you it's time to stop ignoring it and get it going! We all have strategies and tools available to us. And yet we all have excuses for not trying them out. Whether it's because we're positive it won't work or we think that it's just a fad, all of that head trash (link here) can prevent you from doing the one thing that could be the catalyst for change and agency growth. Jeff tried blogging for 9 years with a very little following. In fact, it took 4 years to reach 250 subscribers. But, when he offered a free ebook as lead magnet to his new blog — he jumped from 70 subscribers to 1,000 in just one month. Why? Because he simply tried his thing. Jeff says he thought lead magnets were just marketing mumbo-jumbo. But when he got out of his own way and tried it out, he found major success. Here's my challenge for all of you this week -- identify one thing and go do it! #1 Most Important Creative Tip Why do you create content? Is your agency simply trying to convert leads to clients? A lot of people think content is for selling. If that's you, then you need to 180 the way you're thinking. Content must provide value. This is especially true for blogs and video creatives that are hitting top-of-the-funnel prospects. Jeff says to think of content as a mutual gift to your audience. You give them valuable, free content, and in return, they give you their attention. Don't just focus on conversion metrics. If you give them value, they will come. All of those prospects who don't buy anything now could end up being more valuable than you think. Give them fresh content, and they may just become brand evangelists on social media. Remember, marketing is more complex than lead metrics —and word-of-mouth is still powerful. 2 Rules for Creative Agency Owners Jeff gave us a little sneak peek into his newest book where he shares the 14 rules for creatives to thrive. Here's 2 of them: 1. Steal from everyone Here's the thing about originality, it usually produces terrible results. It's OK to steal from your influences. Are you creating a new blog? Go look at your competitors and your heroes. Guess what? They looked at their competitors and their heroes! Study what your peers are doing and use what's valuable to you. Don't just say "I have to do everything differently!" Or, as Steven Jobs (quoting Igor Stravinsky) said "Good artists copy, great artists steal." This doesn't mean you should plagiarize. It means you should pick a few of the all the great things other people are doing and morph them your own. 2. Live a portfolio life You have to be fluid to survive in the creative world. Sticking to one thing may be a great way to market your agency as a niche to clients, but when it comes to being creative, you have to adapt. Think of the creative world as a mutual fund, not a single stock option. Tech is moving too fast and times are changing too rapidly to get caught up in one style or content type — you have to move with the tides. To do more than just survive you have to be continually creating and innovating. Cashflow or Bookkeeping Issues?

Let's talk about the myth of the "starving artist"... Now, it's certainly not a myth for everyone- there are plenty of starving artists out there- but if you're a drummer who hasn't "hit it big", you certainly shouldn't count yourself as beholden to a life of poverty.The book I'm sharing with you today- Real Artists Don't Starve by Jeff Goins (Amazon Link) - talks exactly about this idea.Did you know that the great Michelangelo was extremely wealthy? Well I didn't, until I read this book. Jeff shows example after example of artists who didn't buy into the "starving artist" mentality and how any artist can find new ways of generating income that can result in us as musicians not only surviving on music, but thriving. Based on what I learned in this book, I've been able to move beyond surviving- and I believe you can too! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"Designer as maker is what is celebrated in school, not designer as entrepreneur; designer as business problem solver. To me, when you're in the mechanics, when you have your hands in the work, it's all production and I make no distinction between doing that versus becoming a brick layer." Creative therapy. That's how I refer to this episode as it takes us down a path MoS hasn't been on before. Chris Do, Emmy award winning creative director, entrepreneur and founder of TheFutur & Blind studio, joins the pod to share his views on many topics including higher education, entrepreneurship, money, self-worth, depression, and how designers can win the battle of business. We come in hot discussing the often divisive topic of higher education and wonder if a college degree is important any longer. Chris also discusses the value of time and we why should understand that value is in the eye of the beholder and oftentimes, we aren't the beholder of the work we create. Lastly, we discuss the modern state of design criticism and how if designers want to win in the war of business, we have to start thinking more about strategy and less about aesthetics.

Jeff is the bestselling author of “Real Artists Don’t Starve.” I’ve wanted him to come on this podcast for over a year. Because he knows the secret to become a “thriving artist.” “That’s somebody who makes money so they can make more art,” he said. The key is to combine your art with a business sense (even if it’s just the basics). Start with your natural talents. Turn those talents into skill (through practice). Develop a business sense (more on this in the podcast) and figure out “what does ownership” look like in your space. This is the guide to becoming a real artist. A wealthy artist. (You’ll even learn HOW to ask for money.)

Do this. "The best thing you can do is take notes, and follow up. Put it into action." Jeff was/is mentored by Michael Hyatt -- He followed up constantly How do you do X?

Jeff, like many of us, has had a winding path to his art. He’s a best-selling author of FIVE books including The Art of Work and his latest, Real Artists Don’t Starve. As a youth, he never claimed being a writer, but it was always something that lingered in the back of his mind. From joining a band to lingering at a comfortable job, he was just waiting for his mid-life crisis to push him into gear and start taking action. Our conversation is chock full of actionable, tangible, you-can-and-should-do-them nuggets about how to go from starving to thriving as an artist. Perhaps the biggest nugget revolves around something I’ve been suggesting to you for years- don’t quit your day job while pursuing your side hustle. Keep your side hustle where it belongs, on the side, until it has enough traction to support you. Today on the podcast, We go back into Jeff’s journey and unpack the curiosity, intuition, soul-searching, and grit to travel a winding road to his calling. There is no school or method to finding out who we are. Jeff drops some valuable tactical gems we can all use to find out way. Jeff’s curiosity lead him to discover more stories of artists and entrepreneurs. What he heard was “I can’t do that, because there’s no money in that”. We talk a lot about the idea of a starving artist explore what has enabled artists who are killing it to overcome that mindset. There’s no such thing as a solitary genius. We talk about how to use community and network to build collaborative partnerships that elevates your work. Enjoy!

Two years ago, I interviewed bestselling author Jeff Goins on my podcast about a book he had just published then, The Art of Work. That book was about finding your calling and figuring out how to pursue it, and it went on to become a USA Today bestseller. I invited Jeff back on the show to talk about his latest book, Real Artists Don’t Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age, which recently hit The Wall Street Journal bestseller list. In our conversation, Jeff shares a few of the practical and time-tested strategies that writers, artists, and other creative professionals can use to earn a living while pursuing their art. Jeff also dives deep into the exact process he followed when he wrote the book, from crafting the big question he wanted to answer, to conducting extensive research into the lives of some of the most successful artists of the past 500 years, like Michelangelo and Van Gogh.

Go to any major entertainment city like Nashville, New York, or Los Angeles, and you'll see two types of artists -- those who are making a ton of money and those who are broke. The same is true for entrepreneurs and "experts." What's the difference? Skill? No. Looking at all the mediocre people out there who make good money, you should know that one... On this episode I talk about the new book from Jeff Goins, Real Artists Don't Starve (Get the audio book free with Audible trial), and how you can make more money in your business. In This Episode: Two sides of the "starving artists" argument... How do some artists make so much money while others barely get by? Are great artists born or made? The first element of creating great art Why Vanilla Ice spent 20 years being bitter How to make a ton of money quickly (and then burn out) This is why most podcasts fail... The reason Krusty the Clown has nothing to worry about Why people leave successful bands (and the sex, drugs, and notoriety that comes with them) Gay Pride?! What the #$%&?! Bad reviews on Amazon -- my perspective Let's get real... Can you really make money with your art? What happens when two different comics tell the same joke... Where do good ideas come from? Job security for experts and the self-employed -- what this looks like. Originality in marketing -- how important is it? Two things you must have going for you to make money with your expert business How did Hunter S. Thompson get to be such a great writer?

Jeff Goins' father once told him if he wanted to do something and have fun doing it, he must first go through the painful work and build up the resilience so it's no longer painful. From a childhood full of bullying and an young adulthood full of self-doubt, Goins grew to be confident in his abilities and his own vision of success. In this episode, he busts down the myth of the starving artist and explains why you don't have to “fake it till you make it” as long as you have the confidence in your abilities and determination to persevere. Jeff Goins is the best-selling author of five books including The Art of Work. He runs the blog GoinsWriter.com and wants to share his creative vision with the world so that others will feel confident in sharing theirs.

In this episode, I tackle the myth of the starving artist. To be an artist and be broke are not inherently linked. While this myth of the 'starving artist' is perpetuated as the purest form of artistry in our society, it's not what we, as photographers, should be striving for. In the book, Real Artists Don't Starve, Jeff Goins deconstructs the myth of the starving artist and puts forth a way for artists to thrive. One of the primary examples he uses to show this is the story of Michelangelo, a man who broke the ceiling of wealth accumulation for artists everywhere and amassed a huge fortune during his lifetime. Today, photographers should be looking for ways to create and thrive, instead of struggle and starve.

You've heard it before. The story of the starving artist. You may even believe it yourself. You may think that to keep your creative integrity, you have to give up on making money. Jeff Goins (@goinswriter) is returning to the podcast today to tell you about why that's not true at all. In fact, instead of being a starving artist, you can be a thriving artist. Learn in this episode: How is it that Michelangelo was actually a multimillionaire by today's standards? How did writers like John Grisham launch their careers while having a day job? How can you get leverage with publishers, record labels, and other gatekeepers, so they're chasing after you instead of the other way around? What can you do to put yourself in the "thriving artist" mindset?

"Being a starving artist is a choice, not a necessary condition of doing creative work." —Jeff Goins, Real Artists Don't Starve Is it possible to do creative work and make a living? What does it take to thrive, not just survive? This week on the Pivot Podcast I'm thrilled to chat with bestselling author, keynote speaker, and popular blogger Jeff Goins. Listen on as we bust the myth behind the "starving artist," the return to creative patronage (and how you can become your own best patron), and why "exposure gigs" are out and charging for your work is in.  

Do you think creative types must be starving artists with no hope of real income? Our guest for today's episode of The Speaker Lab is going to change that mindset if you do! Jeff Goins is a published author with five books under his belt, as well as a highly-respected international speaker. And at his core Jeff is an artist. On this show he tells us why it's okay to profit as an artist, and how to overcome the mental barriers of getting paid well for our craft. You'll hear Jeff share his back story and also explain why you don't need to wait until you think you're ready, and why you should stop calling yourself an "aspiring" anything! Jeff gives plenty of sage wisdom on those topics, and much more during the 134th episode of The Speaker Lab. THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW:    When can a speaker call themselves a speaker? How John Grisham became a writer, and what his story can teach you. Why doesn't Jeff like the word "aspiring"? How to be okay charging money for what you do. Why is being a starving artist a choice?
