All artists are entrepreneurs. All entrepreneurs are artists.
I believe creation trumps entropy.
We are all here to live, grow, learn and improve ourselves and our world. We all have a variety of abilities to create. Regardless of our circumstance, we should be in the business of creating a better place for ourselves and others. Loss, decay, downturn, pain..these will always occur. Being in the business of creating means we are proactively growing a future better than the present.
At Drawbackwards, our mantra is Create Your Future. We help you create and we seek those who want to create. As a designer, my business is creating a better future for your business or organization through collaborative understanding, valuable thinking and effective execution. As an entrepreneur, my business is creating assets, products and services that give benefit and provide value to my community, employees, family and self.
The piece of art by Hugh MacLeod above, inspired by Seth Godin, speaks to my roles in business and life. I see them as one. I’m paid to create, find joy in creating and the more value I create, the more joy I feel. I’m an artist/entrepreneur. When effective, I hope to be a linchpin in the operations and lives of those I work and live with…that’s what life’s all about.
