RE: My 16 Commandments Of Artrepreneurship. [BLOG]

in #education7 years ago

Love this post. I've been dreaming about being an 'artreprenuer' (don't mind the quotes, it's still a new term for me.) I'm still, slowly and painfully, pulling my self out of the delusional mindset... with ways to go.

I recently had a conscious breakthrough while taking a long walk. It's a simple idea i've ingested before, but never digested, and that is concerning the sacredness of work. Any work.

A series of painfully humbling jobs in recent months, combined with a long walk to reflect upon them...

...and then stopping to watch some honey bees at work, all contributed to cementing this idea in my head that work is absolutely sacred. Sweeping, watering plants, managing your business, practicing your art, teaching others, and wiping boogers from a child's face... All of these activities contribute to a more fully realized human experience... not just your art.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks for your thorough comment Mich! From what I'm seeing on your account you're definitely on the right track! :)

I think you're on to something with your discussion about sacred work. In the end, the reason why people (should) work is to survive and be fulfilled. As long as you find what you love doing, and you're willing to master doing what you love, there will ALWAYS be ways to turn what you love into business.

What you love often can't sustain being a legit business. This is where it's important to find people who are strong in things you're weak at, so you can focus on the things you're strong at.

And then the rocket takes off.

Hope that made sense! I'm happy to connect :)
