Episode 1: From Day Job to Creative Fulfillment - Passion Projects

The Right Questions with James Victore

If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching

Is your fear of failure the killer of your creative dreams? Join me on this enlightening episode of "The Right Questions" as we uncover the truth behind why so many of us leave our passion projects unfinished. Together, we tear down the walls built by creative ADD, fear, and plain old boredom. This episode promises to help you understand why treating your personal projects with the same urgency as your client work is the key to conquering procrastination.
Transitioning from a day job to a flourishing creative pursuit is no easy feat, but it's not impossible. This week, we dive deep into the role of trust in both creativity and decision-making. By learning to trust yourself and your creative vision, you'll be better equipped to prioritize projects, balance your time, and shift your energy towards what truly ignites your passion. We'll walk you through practical steps like listing potential projects and assessing your current needs so you can focus on what genuinely deserves your attention.
Lastly, unlock your true creative potential by challenging the conventional notions of commercial work. I use the metaphor of racehorses pulling apple carts to show how societal conditioning often stifles our creativity. By consistently dedicating time to passion projects and believing in your expertise, you can break free from these constraints. We encourage you to maintain momentum and understand that while validation might not come immediately, the intrinsic value of your creative endeavors is boundless. Tune in and empower yourself to take the reins of your creative life.
