Have you ever been on the brink of giving up on your creative calling? That's OK - because this very podcast has faced a lot of obstacles too.  And we're here as proof that it's worth it to stay committed. In this episode, we celebrate our 7th year as a community and 6th year as a podcast by sharing some honest reflections from one of our 360 GOLD member calls, as a member asked how to stay motivated even when we don't meet certain goals. These reflections are the kind of things we all think - but rarely share. If you've wondered if it's worth it to stick with a creative project that isn't yet monetized, or doesn't seem to have a path to success, let this episode - and the existence of this safe haven for creatives like you - encourage you to stay the course. In this episode, you'd discover how to:Navigate the hardships and setbacks common to every creative journey.Recognize the significance of commitment and perseverance throughout one's creative journey.Explore the art of creating valuable communities surrounding your passions.Find equilibrium between your financial objectives and passion-driven pursuits.Master powerful strategies for increased productivity and focus on what truly matters. Tap to send us a text!
