Attention all creatives: Power Up Your Creativity is the resource you need to take your vision, energy, and output to the next level.
Power Up Your Creativity offers motivation and guidance that will help you achieve your creative goals and thrive through a mix of prompts, visuals that stimulate, thoughts to ponder, inspiration to gather, and anecdotes to laugh or cry at. Rachael Taylor—successful artist, pattern designer, entrepreneur, and cofounder of the Make It In Design online education platform—shares reflections on her career and the powerful conversations she’s had with thousands of creatives worldwide.
Figure out how to get started, find and sustain inspiration, and cultivate creative courage.
Things can seem so much harder at the beginning because there are a lot of things on the to-do list. It can seem overwhelmingly huge and goals can feel out of reach. Life happens during the doing, and it’s in the doing that allows us to grow and power up our creativity.
Clarify your vision and consider how you need to evolve.
You want to fall so in love with your idea, vision, or goal that it feels like a relationship you want to nourish. The more dedicated and passionate you are about it, the more energy and drive you’ll have to push through when things get tough.
Stay motivated, establish creative longevity, and embrace your creative power.
Creativity is a magical power we each hold within us. Even when you create something small, give yourself a pat on the back, as you’ve been brave enough to create something for yourself or others. That in itself is a gift to the world and quite extraordinary.
Once you reach each creative destination, shift gears to set sights on your next goal.
Whether you’ve reached your destination, are worrying about the next thing, or are only at the start of your journey, doubt and worry are shared experiences, struggles that will continue throughout your creative life—but if you know how to work with them, you can become a champion of powering up your creativity.
So, what are you waiting for?
Whether you’re just starting out on your creative path or you’re looking to fruitfully channel your creative practice toward a career or side hustle, Power Up Your Creativity offers practical advice and support for upping your creative game and achieving your dreams.
