A couple of weeks ago I asked readers to submit their questions to Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach. Michelle and I sat down and talked about your questions and riffed on the challenges that creative people face in their careers.
Some great questions:
[3:00] Vidya asks – When do I make the move to being a full time artist? How do I know it’s the right move?
[6:34] How do you figure out what your comfort zone is for risk?
[8:30] Karen asks how we can come to terms with enormous amounts of rejection?
(oh my gosh, Michelle and I went OFF on rejection. It’s the boogle-dee-boo of creatives and one of the hardest things to deal with.)
[12:40] Christine asks How do I make my web presence more personalized? How do I make people feel like they are meeting the real me online?
[19:40] kmheuser asks: Should I be waiting until my site is totally ready before I put it on the website?
[24:50] Carol Ann McFarland asks How do I identify my target market and start making sales?
[29:10] Sharon Williams asks How does an established artist slow down and not lose momentum totally?
[36:50] Boxomail how does an artist make an impression that leads to sales?
[44:20] Michelle talks about her rhyming workbook, Operation: Creative Career Cheer! The Illustrated Workbook. As I mentioned at the top of the video, Michelle is totally amazeballs, and her work inspires me every time I talk to her. Click here to view more details

Now seriously, go check out Michelle’s book – it’ll leave you in stitches.
