Love this - especially the line "But the real shortcut is to pick an adjacent skill". And yes please to group coaching for others to practice bite-sized creativity!

So so good! And I love how meta this essay is. I wanted to share it might be worth noticing what you're already being paid for. It took me a year to see tutoring as an actual business idea because it always felt like just a side gig.

Also, a question I ask you often would probably be something like "how do I make this smaller / more sustainable" or "how can I make this project feel more fun"? Both of which are related and I think you always seem to have great answers to!

Such good advice - now I'm thinking where I can sneak in tiny little creative projects. Sometimes I need to remember I can cheat on myself too haha.
