It’s a pointed question, but it must be asked...Who are you as a creative, and who are you doing all of this for? As we complete this series on the SERVICE steps in the God and Gigs book in this anniversary month, we reveal why investing in yourself, challenging yourself, and evangelizing via our creativity is just as necessary - if not more so - for faith-focused artists in 2020 as it was four years ago. As you explore these concepts in the light of a brand-new reality for artists, you’ll discover how answering some deep but important questions about yourself can set you up for a brighter and less fearful future. We’ve shared these key principles in this series of talks on our Creative Checkup discussions which happen every Monday, as we continue unpacking some of the topics discussed in depth in our book “God and Gigs: Succeed as a Musician Without Sacrificing your Faith”. These timeless principles, rather than growing stale, are becoming more and more relevant to our current challenges as creatives in a brand-new decade. Key Topics covered in this episodeWhy investing in yourself is even more important when it’s not as easy. Why you must be more than a musician, and why growth is not automatically connected to change. The importance of choosing your “Who” when setting your vision and walking out your mission as a creative. Links:Read God and Gigs: Succeed as a Musician without Sacrificing your Faith (Book and Study Guide) Learn how to apply the 7 Keys to Real Creative Success to your life with our God and Gigs Roadmap Automate your business record-keeping and save tons of money on taxes by downloading the Taxbot Mileage Tracker and Deduction Finder Learn about The 4 Questions you need to ask before going Full-Time in Arts and EntertainmentTake control of your website and get a free domain name for 1 year with Bluehost Download our free Checklist to radically improve your livestreaming concerts Make your LiveStream an OMG!
