How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes
How do you discover your real purpose in life? I’m not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. I mean the real reason why you’re here at all — the very reason you exist.

The Haters will tell you... Blogging doesn't have a ROI. A tweet is worthless. Getting someone to "like" your Facebook page doesn't increase your sales.

I write about entrepreneurship a lot on this blog, but not everyone want to start a business. So I thought it would be nice to add some updated insights on the other side of the employment spectrum. Enter t oday’s guest contributor, Scott Dinsmore of LiveYourLegend .
This post is part of the Creativity and Money series. Creative people have a love/hate relationship with money. We love it, because – well, who wouldn’t want it? But we also hate it, avoid dealing with it, and avoid even talking about it. Here are some of the reasons why. 1.

Because nothing consumes a man more than his own idea. An idea with which he can persuade himself along a path YOU’VE pre-determined. But how do you plant this idea?

When it comes to movies, most of us "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." We follow the stars and often directors, but rarely does the producer of a film get to be in the spotlight.

Stop Trying To Get Everyone To Like Your Work
When I talk to photographers and survey the industry landscape, I see a zillion photographers trying to have all their work liked by all the people. This comes from our social animal DNA, but it’s the completely wrong approach to success – whether that be measured by your work being licensed, sold, etc, or by getting hired, shown, talked about, displayed, whatever. Simply said, by trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one, especially not yourself. But fear not (or fear less, perhaps).
You’re angry. Beaten down. Unappreciated and underpaid. Hamstrung by the powers that be. Taken advantage of.

We drove out to Oberlin last night to see George Saunders read. I’d been looking forward to this for about a year, and I was praying to the weather gods that there wouldn’t be a giant snowstorm in Syracuse to keep him from getting to Cleveland. (He told us later that he was delayed, and missed a connecting flight, but it was an airline thing, not a weather thing.)Home | Bryan Franklin

We all love the power of email connecting people across continents. But... we're drowning in it. Every year it gets a little worse. To the point where we can get trapped spending most of our working week simply handling the contents of our in-boxes.

Find a Niche — And Fill It As much time as editorial photographers spend bitching and moaning about how things just aren’t the way they used to be, you’d think we were witnessing the death of an entire genre. Personally, I think nothing could be further from the truth. I actually think we are in the midst of a renaissance that will prove to have been one of the most exciting times to have ever been a photographer. True, newspapers and magazines cry poor house as the pool of available assignments slowly drains. That’s because along with the digital explosion there has been a massive repricing of information.
