5 things about this space

Your career in the creative sector

1. One thing to start with: you can share, copy and pass any information you find here (please not that some content is not mine, but gently borrowed – always giving the source reference).

2. In this space you’ll find thoughts and tools that help to develop your career in the creative sector, or get you there in the first stance. It’s like a (life) architecture, which you are about to rise. All what you read comes from personal experience.

3. You can use this space as check list, thinking pad, or planning tool to change what you’re doing. You’ll find keys to understand the values you have to clear with yourself, the possibilities you can build, the tasks you have to prioritize. Take a bit of time to read, ask yourself questions, and do what needs to be done; nobody else is able to change your life except you.

4. Be honest with yourself. Tell your truth, since only that is accessible. After a couple of attempts to build a different life and career, it became clear to me that personal choices, experience, and skills should work together, if I had to achieve something. And so I did.  It’s just a matter to put things in the right order, and manage the time we have left to achieve our goals.

5. Acting, rather than thinking to act. Choosing a path, and following it. Maybe choosing more than one. Career change needs both focus and flexibility, which are not – as it might seem – contradictory terms. We live now – for the Western countries – about 80 years. Even if in your 40s, like myself, you can change your course half way through, develop further the skills you already have, learn a few ones, and apply them into that passion, which you can transform into a job. Rewarding and financially sustainable.
