26. The Entrepreneurial Mindset It suddenly dawned on me

27. E – Enterprize or Entrepreneur? The E in Be Great is Entrepreneur (Racheal Smee / Debbie Payne)

29. Why shouldn’t we make money doing what we love? Mental Traps ‘creatives’ fall into: I love it, so should everyone. I loved doing it, I should do it for free. Someone else will do it. If they love it then they will pay for it. Art is sooo subjective. This is worth a million - I think? I don’t do marketing and sales! I’m the artist! Which ones do you fall into?

38. Let’s get funky Have you ever used an anchor? Have you heard of NLP? Google it!

39. Today is not an NLP lecture But let’s think about Anchors : Anchors are some of the most powerful ways of communicating to the unconcious mind and they affect the way we act all the time. They are triggered by different stimuli and create different states of emotion. But these are not uncontrollable and therefore we can use them to control our own state. Everyone get up – and shake. Breath in deeply. Come on your creatives – you can do this.
