As creatives, we are a special breed of person.
And a lot of people who do the nine to fives, as you're saying,
just maybe won't understand our lifestyle, that, you know,
if we have performances, it requires an enormous amount of unpaid preparation.
We do this because we are passionate, we do it because we love it.
It's about creating opportunities to fulfill you and intrinsic satisfaction, right?
So, I mean, a lot of people are looking for that fulfilling career,
and I think that's why we chose art in the first place,
because you have a passion and you want to connect to something deeper or so.
In this captivating podcast episode, I had a pleasure of chatting with Michelle Lin.
She is not just a classical pianist, but also a real powerhouse entrepreneur.
She is one of the brains behind the fearless Artist Mastermind,
which helps musicians not only chase their passion, but also build a solid career.
I teach entrepreneurship at an university here, and I tell them almost every class,
we are not starving artists, we are thriving artists,
and you're going to learn to look for opportunities.
You're going to be fearless, that's our brand name, of course,
but it means you put yourself out there without worrying about what people might think
or how they're going to judge you, and you look for the opportunities and you pursue them.
We're going to help unlock the fear that you have and how you have been your own ceiling
and how you have told yourself you're not good enough
and how you haven't tried to even reach out to that person
because you're scared that they're going to reject you.
And we're going to coach you through that mindset, as you just said.
And then once you get there and you start to believe that what you have is so valuable,
you need to go out into the world and share it.
