Inspiring Creative People to Become Entrepreneurs
There is a common misconception that creative people cannot make great entrepreneurs, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Business development and strategy are not just for accountants or CEOs anymore - many successful companies need these skills too! Designers can also become business owners by starting their own design studio, or they can work with other designers on projects to help them grow their business. And even if you're not in the design industry at all, there are still ways that you could share your creativity in entrepreneurship!
Creative people may sometimes have no clue how to turn their creative ideas into proper business ventures. An entrepreneur is someone who starts something from scratch, building it up or taking it over and then running the day-to-day operations that are necessary for success. In this post we will explore what a creative person would want as an entrepreneur and in which careers they can find their niche as well as tips on how to get started.
Some of the things a creative person can do to start out are;
- Start a blog of your own to share creative ideas or start a small online business.
- Find an entrepreneurial partner who shares the same passions and interests as you do, and work together on projects that excite both of you! You'll find it much easier to stay motivated when working with someone else - plus this way you can help them grow their company too!
- Join forces with other entrepreneurs in order to get more exposure for your products or services. For example, if there's another person selling handmade jewelry, they could sell some of yours alongside theirs so people have three options instead of two. This is also called coopetition: where competitors collaborate through partnerships.
There are many opportunities out there for those looking to build a business but have no creative support where you are able to add via a partnership or offer your service to them as a business.

The hard work of refining and marketing your business can be done with a little creativity. You might not know what you have to offer but by liaising with other entrepreneurs, you will find out more about their target audience as well as learn new skills like social media promotion or how to convert traffic into sales.
I have been fortunate to be in the position of being creative and starting a business with a partner who shares the same vision and passion as I do. We've been lucky enough to support and grow each other into a successfully running business that now focuses its self to offer help and support to creative startups with areas such as marketing or business management.
Creative people might not realise their different skillsets when being part of a creatives team because creativity often takes many forms - some types more obvious than others such as illustration, graphic design, photography etc while other skill sets may be less apparent like project management or marketing. No matter which of those you feel you fit currently they are all perfectly able to start a business with those skillsets, just need to take that step!
