I am by no means THE expert. The list of creatives more qualified to share this is a mile long in my opinion. But being a creative is an accumulation of knowledge over time. And in 20 years if I’m still doing this, I guarantee I will still be learning something new every day that I didn’t know the day before. My career has been a process of trial and error. I’ve had good moments and certainly had bad moments and humiliation. I’m at least willing to admit that and grow from it. These are simply a few pieces of knowledge I believe all creatives, newcomers or veterans, should learn at some point. Bottom line is this: if I didn’t take these pieces of advice at some point in my career, I’d go nowhere in my career. Even though at this moment I feel closer to my goals than I ever have been, I still do my best to abide by this career advice every day.
