EP202: How to Lean into Your Creative Brilliance to Build a Better Business

The amazing thing about designers is we’re each so unique… It's so cool how you don’t have to be a certain way to succeed in this industry. As I’ve really gotten to know my own gifts and talents, I’ve realized something… I’m pretty much TERRIBLE at 90% of the things you need to do in business. But the other 10% I’m totally brilliant at! And that’s okay… because I can get support in the areas where I need it. And when I stay in my zone of brilliance, I’m going to do more than anyone else could in those areas. The same goes for you. You’re going to have even more success when you figure out your particular brand of brilliance… and stop trying to be good at everything. I’m talking finding that special sparkle only YOU have. Once you figure out what that is – you can leverage it. And when you leverage it, suddenly business is going to totally change for you. Things will get easier. Decisions will come more naturally. You’ll feel more turned on in and by your work. But what if you don’t know what it is?!?!?! Well, I have some good news for you.
