Jeff Goins: Why Real Artists Don’t Starve




The Unmistakable Creative Podcast show

Summary: <p>Jeff Goins’ father once told him if he wanted to do something and have fun doing it, he must first go through the painful work and build up the resilience so it’s no longer painful. From a childhood full of bullying and an young adulthood full of self-doubt, Goins grew to be confident in his abilities and his own vision of success. In this episode, he busts down the myth of the starving artist and explains why you don’t have to “fake it till you make it” as long as you have the confidence in your abilities and determination to persevere. </p> <h3>Sponsors</h3> <p><a href="http://twenty20.com/unmistakable">Twenty20</a> provides you with real-world, authentic stock photos.
