I was sitting down to write a year in review and saw that The Business of Home had done a much much better job of summarizing my ideas (from my column that I write for them) than I ever could. Here is the link: BOH Year In Review. I love writing my column for The Business of Home and will continue to write it as long as they will have me.
What I like most about BOH’s review is that the quotes apply to virtually every creative business I can think of — charge from the top down, no line-item pricing, be the expert, own the one thing that matters, etc. I do hope you will have the chance to have a look and to take something for your creative business as you head into 2019 and use that thing to evolve both your art and your creative business.
A note on evolution. I am of the firm belief that incremental change is an oxymoron. Be radically better, radically more authentic in 2019 and beyond. 10x as Seth Godin just so aptly said. Do not fear the abyss, fear the certainty you hold on to as opportunity moves past.
Now, more than ever, the world needs artists and, by necessity, their creative businesses, to truly step into their own light and for that light to be undimmed by those who might be blinded by its luminescence.
Many many prayers for a joyous holiday and new year.
