Telltale signs you're ready to take a more creative pathway

I'm a fan of 'slash careers' where your career is made up of a number of elements,  a package or collection of 'slashes'. These reflect that one person can have multiple careers over time based on experience, interests and acquired skills. The slash approach is also a common way to transition*.  By hanging on to prior work, you can support yourself while easing your way into a new career. 
So for those of you who have always wanted to explore a more creative role and with the rise of online approaches to market and pull customers towards you, consider these signs that you are ready:

  • You’ve Got a Plan
  • You’ve Saved Up
  • Your Business Is Legit
  • You Know Your Resources
  • You’re Mentally Prepared

*The ‘slash’ concept is teased out more in the excellent reference “The Encore Career Handbook”.

    I'm interested in how we find ways to bring passion and curiosity into everyday lives. Embrace being restless, be inspired by others journeys and just have a go.

    Above all I value the awake, curious and creative mind that cross pollinates ideas to join the dots and build new ideas.
