This is only a re-post, but it is an essential thing to do. Secure family support before you start your business.

Prepare your family

Where do you get your ideas?

Every artist gets asked the question, “Where do you get your ideas?” The honest artist answers, “I steal them.”

1.) Steal like an artist. 

2.) Don’t wait until you know who you are to start making things. 

3.) Write the book you want to read. 

4.) Use your hands. 

5.) Side projects and hobbies are important. 

6.) The secret: do good work and put it where people can see it. 

7.) Geography is no longer our master. 

8.) Be nice. The world is a small town. 

9.) Be boring. It’s the only way to get work done. 

10.) Creativity is subtraction.
