Chase Jarvis and Ramit Sethi: Best Business Advice for Creatives

Peek-a-boo! Yeah, I know, "Where the hell has this woman been?" I've been away arting my life away, and now am back and just finished watching this vid that I stumbled upon. It's a discussion about business advice for creatives between photographer Chase Jarvis and entrepreneur Ramit Sethi. And boy do they ever get chit-chatty in a bromance kind of way, but that doesn't take away from the good content. If you've got 90 minutes to spare, it makes for a good chores-about-the-studio soundtrack. And I thought it deserved a repost. Enjoy!

Press Release Grader

Need help with a promotion campaign you're putting together? Here is a useful tool that has been recently released by the wonderful folks at HubSpot. Their Press Release Grader can help you tighten up your written materials with a simple evaluation tool that offers suggestions to improve your press release. I've used their Website Grader in the past and I found it to also be pretty fabulous.

Words to Live By
