When you talk about this period in your professional life, will you call it your golden age?
Here’s what I think it takes to create a “Golden Age” mentality:
- Work with creative people who care about the right things.
- Reduce emotional vampires and those with negative energy.
- Reduce barriers to entry for creative people
- Try new things: keep them if they work, forgive yourself if they don’t.
- Know that even in a Golden Age, not everything is perfect.
- Dream.
I can point to every year in my career and feel like “That was the Golden Age.” Magical things keep happening if you keep intentionally making life a Golden Age.
