Creative Focus Is About Saying No
Description
When you're first starting out as a creative, everyone tells you to say yes. Yes to every gig, every project, every maybe-this-will-lead-to-something opportunity. But no one really teaches you when it’s time to start saying no.
In this episode, I talk about how saying yes got me started… but saying no is what’s helping me stay focused. At some point, your time, your energy, and your creative sanity depend on it.
