Are You An Artist 🎨 Or An Entrepreneur 💵?

Today, we have the “Creator Economy.”

This is the marketplace where people who create things for a living are able to make money from their creations. These are your influencers on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and whatever other platform may pop up.

The challenge for Creators is that no one has taught them how to do business. (I explained this in Work On Your Game Podcast episode #1862: Want To Be A Creator Or Influencer? Listen To This NOW.)

Technically, as soon as you start creating things and make money from it, you are officially in business, officially an entrepreneur.

The Creator Economy has created many entrepreneurs in fact, who remain creators (or “artists”) in spirit.

The challenge for social media creators / artists is that you don’t have control over your business. It can be snatched from underneath your feet at any moment by the platform upon which you are publishing.

But this “Creator” challenge is not limited to online influencers. It applies to all entrepreneurs whose business is based on things that you have created from scratch.

That means you — coaches, authors, speakers, comedians, podcasters, course creators, and subject matter experts of all kinds.

Why? Because people who sell things that they created from scratch are emotionally connected to the creations.
