QOTW: Survival Skills for Creatives

Wednesday, June 11, 2014 by Jessika Hepburn

Question of the Week: Survival Skills for Creatives

What skills are necessary for your creative survival?

Last week we packed our virtual backpacks for an adventure into the unknown and this week we are looking at the toolbox we carry around inside us to take an inventory of our survival skills. Adventures don’t always go as planned but even if we lose all the gear we’ve packed we can still be well equipped for exploration!

There are times in life & biz we find ourselves lost in the wilderness, needing to rebuild, start fresh, or find inspiration to keep going – that is when we need to reach in deep to pull out our inner Swiss army knife of skills.

Share in the comments at least ONE tool can you reach for when you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed & help your fellow creative adventurers stock up on their survival skills!

Our weekly questions are based on our themes (this summer we’re on our 2nd annual Camp OMHG adventure) & kick off our #OMHG chats every Thursday from 1-2pm EST! Meet up in the comments to talk about our question of the week, connect with other makers + entrepreneurs, learn from each other and swap knowledge.
