Worry Warts

The one thing we artists and treps have in common is that we worry too much—especially about the future. Why? Because as creative, right-brained thinkers, we’re charged with inventing it—then we stake our entire livelihood on the choices and decisions we make, without a manual!

That said, we are not alone in our plight. Behind every great, jaw-dropping success, there are artists and entrepreneurs who faced challenging internal worries and personal struggles. However, they chose not to pause, flinch, or wait around to be rescued. Instead, they chose to somehow, someway—right in the midst of their worries—invent a way to stand on their own two feet and take the necessary steps to rescue themselves. How did they do that? Ask them.

Important because when your insides are shakin’ like a leaf on a tree, just experience that as one of the many vexing side-effects of living an awesome, independent, entrepreneurial, creative lifestyle!

"It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long!"—Woody Guthrie
