Every time you do something new and you practice, you\u2019re learning.\nCreating a high profile career in fashion and lifestyle photography is gratifying, but what it took from me to get there is\xa0the real gift.\n\nDuring the last ten years of creating this career, I\u2019ve learned a few things that might be useful to the up-and-comers. In this collection of episodes I break\xa0down the process that I used to make a living with my art.\xa0These tips go beyond my\xa0world of photography and\xa0transcend into any creative venture.\n\nThe lessons can be useful if you\u2019re into illustration, fashion design, fashion\xa0blogging, music, performing arts, writing or any other creative hustle. Think of it like the DNA of a\xa0creative professional. Think of it like\xa0the building blocks of inspiration.\n\nThis is the eleventh\xa0installment of my 15 part series on how to make a career in art.\nIt\u2019s a daily decision, every minute, to create.\n\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\n\n \tWhy you have to embrace your creative journey [2:00]\n \tWhy your journey should take time [2:30]\n \tFirst, you have to be patient with your journey [3:50]\n \tYou have to know where you\u2019re going, but be ok with where you are [4:10]\n \tSecond, you always have to be pushing yourself [5:00]\n \tWhy you need to push yourself personally as well as creatively [5:45]\n \tThird, you have to push yourself through your plateaus in growth [6:15]\n \tThe importance of consistent practice [6:40]\n \tTip number four is that you can\u2019t compare yourself to others [9:05]\n \tEveryone\u2019s journey is different, and you have to create from your own experience [9:50]\n \tFifth and last, is that you have to keep going [10:10]\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\n \tCheck out the 100 Day Project on Instagram\n \tYou can see my 100 Day Project Pictures (and more) on my Instagram\n \tHead over to The Great Discontent to learn about the 100 Day Project\n \tRead the interview with Elle Luna about the 100 Day Project\n \tMusic Credit: Confident by AEI
