#1 Never Stop Learning
May I ask you a personal question?
Who or what taught you the biggest lessons about what you do?
I spent a lifetime on YouTube learning the ins and outs of my craft, and if I had to narrow down the three most important things I’ve taken with me, they’d be:
Never stop being curious.
Never stop practising.
Never stop learning.
Before starting out, I thought most of what I’d need would come through extensive reading and learning the rules, and as it turns out, I had it all wrong!
It’s all about being curious, practising, trying out new things and DOING.
And I want you to have the same benefits from it as I do. I’m very curious and always eager to learn more, but in the last few years I’ve lost one thing: creating just for fun, just for learning. Creating because I want to learn. Creating for no-one else but myself.
So this is how the Never Stop Learning Series was born.
Come with me while I fail, learn, laugh, have fun, LEARN. Feel inspired, amused, shocked (hopefully not)… I hope I can add value to your creative journey with this series.
Enjoy!
