We’re living in a golden age of opportunity for creative people chasing their dreams. With today’s social platforms, monetizing your creativity has never been more possible. As a result, tens of millions of young people who would otherwise be pursuing traditional career paths are instead employing themselves in the creator economy. This is a new version of an old story.
How Artists Can Transition into the Business World
The creator economy has given many young people an opportunity to eschew a more traditional career path and monetize their talents via social media. But, what if, you’ve discovered your priorities have evolved and you are now considering a job in the business world? The daunting process of reassessing your goals and then converting your value to this new space can feel overwhelming.

Among the top three are: a growth mindset, a bias for innovative action, and intrinsic motivation. If you can learn how to apply these skills to other roles, you’ll stand out from your peers.
