When it comes to the brain the experts have given us two directions that it can be pulled in: Right or Left. The left brainers usually have no problem with their own brain pull. It's us right brainers that have all the issues with dealing with the world set up by the left brain people. To us,, well the world is wonderful place full of many possibilities. We see things in all kinds of creative ways and look at endless possibilities with unbridled passion.
Many creative people believe they only can be creative and never can have a business mind set or utilize the logical, analytical and decision making part of their brain. Worse yet, creative tend to rely on other to fill the gap and handle the business making decisions... hence we see time and time again a artist being taken advantage of due to relying on other to handle the "business" Now, this doesn't only pertain to artists, it also applies more then ever to the entrepreneur who has the great idea and needs "stability" around him to pull it off.
Here is the bottom line, if you have ever completed a song, wrote a play or book, wrote a screenplay or finished a painting then you have utilized both the left and the right side of your brain and fully capable of doing the same when making business decisions.
I have been in those situation many times, speaking from experience. Trusting the "pillars of the community" in a business startup later to be taken advantage of and then getting all the blame.
This website is dedicated to helping the creative mind whether you are an artist or a startup and I am hoping some of my "lesson" can help you in your journey.
