11. Is The Best Of Your Past The Enemy Of Your Present Good

What happens we experience success as creatives? Success can be a catalyst for more success, but it can also, very subtly and unintentionally, create a set of unspoken expectations we place on ourselves and our creative work. This week, Marian and Shaunna talk about this reality, and share their own personal stories of how the best of their past has been the enemy of their present good. How those nagging questions can sneak up on us….”Maybe my best ideas are behind me.” “Maybe I’ve done my best work.” “How can I possibly recreate that moment in time again and again and again?” They are in this with you, and share how they have moved through and around these paralyzing doubts surrounding success or even periods of ease in their creative pursuits and business. We can move around these blocks, if not through them entirely. You can find Marian and Shaunna at www.thecreativeexponent.com where they continue their passionate conversation around all things creative.
