Reading Hugh MacLeod's Evil Plans (mine clearly need help) and came across this passage that so perfectly aligns with my own beliefs:
In their own way, all artists are entrepreneurs, and all entrepreneurs are artists.
Though their tools and products may differ, both entrepreneurs and artists are in the same game –the making and selling of work that is personally and emotionally important to them.
"Artist." "Entrepreneur." They're just words. What's far more interesting is not what we create, but how we create it, why we create it.
Beautiful. I ned to remind my students, my audience, my coworkers, and myself of this every day. And get clear on why I create, and why more often I don't.
