How Do You Get Perspective on Your Creative Enterprise?

Overwhelmed. A sense of no progress. In transition with unclear priorities. Change-of-season. A new quarter. These are indicators that it’s time for creatives and creative professionals to get perspective.

I do two things to get perspective: Go to my Perspective Spot and make a map. 

Why? Maps give us perspective on where we are (YOU ARE HERE –>) and where we aspire to go (BIG HORIZON!). A good map also will show you potential obstacles and alternative routes to get there.

And best of all, a good map is aesthetically pleasing, simple, and useful.

At least making a map and checking it upon occasion let’s me and my clients, too, explore and take risks more confidently.

This video shows you my Perspective Spot and gives you a quick-action glimpse of the map I’m making. Pardon the DIY glitches. I don’t bring my camera crew with me to my Perspective Spot.

And if you want the questions that help you make a map, sign up for my new Create & Captivate Inner Pack. You’ll get periodic behind-the-scenes updates on my new business operations, products, and content as I slip into my Deep Create Zone for the next six months.

I’m a map fiend, too. So, feel free to share your methods for making maps, getting perspective, and otherwise enacting a vision that matters from month-to-month.

See you in the woods,
