Something to hold on to.
What is the difference between a job and a creative enterprise?
In the job, you have to be in the office on Monday. There is no getting away from that.
Whereas, for a creative enterprise, especially when we have not turned pro, we are either working 24×7 or we are not working at all.
The certainty needed to keep a creative pursuit going cannot be outcome based like salary, or culture based, as many a times it is a solo venture.
The certainty comes from the practice.
When we decide that we publish a daily blog, then the streak brings the certainty.
When we decide that we sit down to work at 9:30 AM, then repeating that act daily brings the certainty.
We can’t seek this certainty outside. We have to build our own certainty.
