14. Don't Babysit Your Work

There is such a tempting habit in today’s world of instant feedback. How easily do we get sucked in to sharing our work online, only to hover over what we publish like the best of all helicopter moms? We publish, and we check comments. We scan likes, followers, feedback. All day. If we own a creative business or share our creative work, do we have to be aware of the response to our work? Sure. Of course. This week Marian and Shaunna talk about the difference between awareness of the “public response” and the obsession that can so easily become the driving, reactionary force behind our creative work. Can we create tension between awareness and obsessively checking on engagement to validate the quality of our work? They say absolutely yes, and encourage you to keep yourself centered around what you do best...creating. You can find Marian and Shaunna at www.thecreativeexponent.com where they continue their passionate conversation around all things creative.
