Love this video from Andrea at the Creative Dream Incubator. The honesty of actually how scary it is to put yourself out there and it not working.
It is really hard to get started as an artist or a creative but you need to start, and do it one step at a time to make it work in the long run. This beginning period needs to be seen as a learning curve. There is no right and wrong here so try not to let your inner critic judge what you are doing and where you are going. It is a scary time but if you see each step as a lesson then you will start to learn how to do this and carve your own path.
