As promised.
Over the next wee while I’ll share some of what I’ve learned in the last 4 years and some of what I’ve been doing to keep the brain active over the last 9 or so months.
Problem Solving.
To create anything you need to solve problems.
From my point of view there were loads:
How do I screen print?
Where will I get blank decks from?
What will my logo be?
How do I do a website/social media?
And a 100 other.
Most of which NEVER GET FULLY ANSWERED.
And that’s ok. Doing anything that involves setting up a business and doing something creative is a constant challenge - even if you don’t take into account the current circumstances.
But the answers are out there.
My one piece of advice that I would give is this.
Use the vast amount of content on the internet, in books, in podcasts etc to help you solve your problem and get over those hurdles. If this leads to mistakes then so be it.! That’s a really important part of learning.
I get asked a lot of questions about various things. And for the most part I’m happy to answer (apologies if I’ve not answered some yet though!).
But for me the process is as satisfying and important as the outcome. Probably more so. It’s where you learn what works and what doesn’t. It’s where you really understand how things go together.
So get your hands dirty. Be curious. Solve problems by doing, not just asking.
And make mistakes! It’s all part of the fun.
