Creative Careers

Making a Living with Your Ideas

by B. Jeffrey Madoff

Earn a Living Doing What You Love

In one of the most popular classes at Parsons School of Design, B. Jeffrey Madoff gave students a reality check: “Most of us have had the feeling of ‘I could’ve done that,’ whether at an art gallery, watching a performance, or finding a new product or even a new business idea. What’s the difference between you and them? They actually did it. You didn’t.”

With Creative Careers, you will learn how to do it, too: use your creativity; have a sustainable, profitable career; and do what you love.

Featuring insider advice from Daymond John, Karlie Kloss, Tim Ferriss, Randi Zuckerberg, Dave Asprey, Dennis Crowley, Brandon Maxwell, Mauro Porcini, Joy-Ann Reid, Roy Wood Jr., and dozens more!Creative Careers pulls from interviews with more than forty experts–notable entrepreneurs, artists, and business leaders–as well as from Madoff’s own decades of experience to supercharge your career. Creativity can often feel sporadic and unfocused, coming in bursts and peaks. That’s why Madoff focuses your professional path by asking vital questions that will ultimately help you:

  • Determine your value

  • Be smart about your hustle

  • Ruthlessly edit down your creative projects

  • Overcome fear and doubt

  • Create a successful, long-lasting career on your own terms

You may aspire to join the fashion world, to work in visual arts, or to spearhead a start-up. You may be an executive who leads a creative team, or a professional looking to make a career change. Madoff takes you down an accessible path that will lead to success in any field or endeavor.

Every creative pursuit starts off with confronting some fears, biases and expectations.

Everyone in business can learn from this book, I found valuable information I could have used in my career in marketing when I worked for a corporation. The book isn't just for those who want to go out there and build a multi-million dollar business it's also for the person who just wants to start a business for themselves and make a decent living. Creative Careers covers most everything you need to think about and know when you find the niche for you to become an entrepreneur.
Knowledge is power and Creative Careers is a must read.
Lori - Punta Gorda, goodreads

Excellent book. True to the book description, this content will help readers to excel on the business side of creative careers, i.e make money and find material success. However, many of the principles and topics are equally relevant to all careers, for example, building strong relationships, starting off as an entrepreneur or building your personal brand.  Practical, sage advice!
