Read This If You’re Lost In Your Career

The other day, I had a pretty interesting phone call with a friend of my husband’s. Much like myself and my husband, James* had a bit of a crisis. He, like many other creatives, felt like he was at a crossroads. He didn’t know whether or not he wanted to continue pursuing a career in his particular music genre.

There’s a certain point in a creative career where you sit there, looking at all the STEM and business workers around you, and wonder, “Do I really want this crap? They’re the ones making all the money.”
I’ve been there. My husband has been there. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been there when they wrote “Under the Bridge.” Vincent Van Gogh and Jack Kerouac have also been there. It’s part of the artist life, unfortunately.
I’ll let you in on a secret other people won’t say: there are a lot of aspiring artists who have no business being a career artist. That may even be you. You might not really want to pursue a career in the arts. But, how can you tell what you really want?
I have a test for that.
