This Is Business

Abstract

There’s nothing like the thrill of getting paid for doing what you love. While most with artistic talent care first and foremost about what they’re creating, for many the ability to make a living or at least supplement their income by doing the work they love runs a close second. And why shouldn’t you be paid? If your creations bring beauty and entertainment into someone’s life, you’ve provided value. In fact, that’s one of the most fundamental principles of business. One person provides something worthwhile; the other person pays for it. When you look at it that way, the creative community is no less deserving of compensation than any other trade is.
