EPISODE 12: When you are building your creative side business, you need to be passionate about the work in order to sustain you. Business is tough. There will be days when you are dealing with things that don't light you up. If there's no passion for the bigger picture, it will be easy to give up and walk away.
It can be easy to misunderstand passion however. We think of impetuous romances and firey arguments, but some passions can be driving. They can be a slow burn.
Your passion for your business should be driven by your passion for creativity. It's like love. Just like any relationship, when you're in love, you might fight or have rough times, but love keeps you going and keeps you committed to working through the difficulties.
You can be passionate about supporting your customers and releasing your creative projects into the wild. You can be passionate about helping people, about making things.
