Great video! Love the way you talk to each other and it just so organically flow. Speaking of questions: How to find one’s niche? I work as a beginning Childrens book illustrator and currently try to expand my expertise to pattern making and merchs. I am a big fan of diverse books and raising children who are open minded but I don’t know where I can reach out to my audience and what merch they need?

question! what should you lean into learning vs. when to know to hire someone skilled to save time?

[@annannunez]

Hey Jayci! Anna here. This is such a good question, thank you for asking! We dedicated this week's video to chatting about the debate between when to hire to save time and when to invest time in learning new skills! Keep an eye out - that video will be out this Friday 8/19. We hope you find it helpful!

Perfectionism is my kryptonite. If you haven't, I highly recommend reading Art & Fear by Ted Orland and David Bayles. So inspiring, such a great philosphy book for creatives. 100 Pages of amazing words. Talks a lot about perfectionism.

You're really not alone. It's the artist's Achilles hell. What's so cool is that we don't have to live with the perfectionist's mindset. There is freedom from it! I haven't read that one before-I'll have to check it out. Thanks so much for the suggestion. Jesús
