If you only watch one video on being a creative or freelancer

I stumbled across this speech/lecture this morning, found through one of my very useful Google Alerts (I wholeheartedly suggest setting up Google Alerts if you are a creative/freelance as they can be a fantastic source of current information on your topics of interest and seeing what your competition is up to too!). The talk was entitled 'Secret freelancer knowledge' by the author Neil Gaiman, and he discusses his life as a 'creative' and how to avoid some of the pitfalls that we all seem to fall into as creatives or freelancers. There are some really important messages in this video and a do feel that if you do one thing this year to focus your mind on your creative endeavours, then it should be to watch this short film. There are so many strong messages contained within that video, and it has been a large wake up call for me (another one!).EnjoyPeaceNeil
