How to Succeed as a Creative Professional – Stop Consuming and Start Producing Content [Video]

How to Succeed as a Creative Professional – Stop Consuming and Start Producing Content

I get asked all the time by designers and creative professionals: “What is the quickest way to succeed in the creative industry?” My answer is always the same: “Stop consuming and start producing.” If you want to succeed in your career, consuming volumes of social media, constantly scrolling on your phone or mindlessly gaming is not the best way to get there. Start producing content of your own: designs, graphics, audio, video and contribute value of your own by sharing your creativity, expertise and experience to help others succeed.
