Creative Warriors

One of the biggest steps we have to take as creatives is working for ourselves, and starting our own business. This can come with its own set of challenges, but it's nothing to be afraid of. You may think of yourself as a solo worker, but the moment you start working for yourself or step up to a higher position you become a leader. Even if your team is remote, and you have Virtual Assistants or freelancers you’re still a leader. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. Working with creatives below you means you have to respect them the way you like to be respected. Your team needs clear boundaries, and most importantly they need your trust. They need you to trust that they know the process it takes to get things done. Being a leader doesn’t mean taking the helm and controlling the ship. It means finding the right people to help you, and nurturing them along the way. Show them why things work, as opposed to just what works.
