'Sheila gave me the tools to hunt success, and the infrastructure to
handle it when it came.' Stik, world renowned street artist and author
Most of the conventional 'productivity' advice you'll find in the 'soft
business' section simply does not work for creative people.
Surprisingly, to date there has not been a single book that addresses
the unique organizational challenges that artists face. This book sets
out to change that, it addresses the myth that truly creative people are
messy and that they need mess in order to create. Sheila Chandra applies
her professional insights as a 'creative' and organizing expert to the
lives of other busy creative people in all disciplines - showing them
how good organization can liberate their creative 'magic'. She begins
with artists' physical spaces, including arranging their workspaces and
offices so that they remain tidy effortlessly. Her career 'headspace'
chapters cover:
- creative well-being, including artist support systems
- career well-being, including networking and collaborations
- self-promotion and how to avoid working for free
- making social media pay
- personal branding, career planning and goals
- how to manage copyright issues and legal paperwork
- legacy management
And all from an artist's point of view. These fool-proof, tried and
tested systems are mixed with creativity tips and artist well-being
advice that only one artist knows to give another. Written with real
affection for the reader, Sheila Chandra takes the creative person by
the hand and puts them on the path to success.
