How to be a Creator Versus Consumer of Content

We think it is hard to be a creator.
I believe it has to do more with attitude and mindset.
We all can be a creator of some sort.
It's about practicing a creative habit.
It is no different than having the habit of teeth brushing in the morning.
If you are reading this and you have not brushed your teeth and it is morning you have shown that you are a consumer of content first.
I would like to challenge you to make the switch.
Being a creator first, Consumer of Content Second.
Why?
With consistency, it can bear invisible fruit.
That fruit can take so many forms.
First, you gain an ability.
With this ever-changing job market, this new skill set could become quite useful.
Second, the potential to gain fandom.
It all starts with one, two, four, then four million.
Third, it could lead to opportunities.
From writer to best-selling author.
From photographer/videographer to movie maker.
From Graphic Artist to Fashion Designer.
The opportunities are endless.
Now, you might be asking, "How do I get started?"
Take account of things in your life you believe are interesting.
Pick one.
Decide on the medium that is easiest to use.
Photo - Video - Write (circle one)
Locate the platform do you love to get down at that will allow you to share it.
Upload and share your view, opinion, or thought.
You've done it!
Find you Forever.
