The best thing about creative people is that they have lots of great project ideas. But when our time and resources are limited, that also poses a challenge. In this podcast, Dobbers creator Darryl Jones solicits feedback from a mastermind of creator peers on which of several promising projects to launch next.
Highlights of this Session include:
- How the stakes are raised on the what to create question when you become a full-time creator.
- Balancing audience and market interest and expectations with your own creative desires.
- The importance of momentum in your creative business and how to harness it.
- Plus: Kickstarter’s Make100 is back in January… Are you on board?

Tough question time…
Right now, how many people are there on this planet who:
Know exactly what it is you’re trying to create this week, this month, this year, in the next five years, and in your lifetime.
Genuinely want you to succeed and regularly think about what they can do to help you on your mission.
You trust can offer good, knowledgeable support & advice and will always tell it to you straight, even if it’s not what you want to hear, but what you NEED to hear.
You meet with on a regular, consistent basis to talk about these things because the relationship is a PRIORITY in your life.
How many people do you have in your world right now who fit that full description?
Now Imagine…
There was a small group of high performers and achievers, creators you respect the hell out of and admire…
…and they constantly had YOU on their minds.
Imagine you were meeting regularly with this group of high achieving creators who could support you, include you, connect you and create with you?
WOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR CREATIVE BUSINESS AND YOUR LIFE?
If you think it might, I’d like to invite you to learn more about the ComixLaunch MasterMind groups starting up in 2019.
