RE: Stay Focused In Your Strengths - Distractions Are Expensive...
You just hit the aspect I have been battling with. Seven years back I was earning a living through visual arts back in school but when I left school. My Dad back then demanded that I should return home from the state I was. I never had the attitude of not listening to my Dad, So I did as he said.
When I returned I decided to start what I was doing, but I realised that people around dont have demand for pencil work . I tried creating awareness for six month but the people around doesn't really appreciate art work and I wasn't selling.
Art been the only thing I know how to do.
Naturally since I wasn't getting works, I wasn't getting enough money for materials to continue. I tried to leave the state but my dad insisted that I must stay that he needs me to get a Government Job which I naturally don't have zeal for because you will placed in a situation where you will be unproductive and be monitored to remain like that.
Years passed ,though I still venture into pencil sketches once in a while but I am loosing touch.
Secondly, you did mention that demand was your driving force in opening new companies.
"The challenge was very great, to pack all the audio needed with the publications on a very limited space. Back then audio files were huge, there was no such thing as compressed formats like mp3, etc…
It was then that I took another leap and decided to open a tech company"
Then how did you mobilize resources, both financial and human resources to meet those demands?

At first I think you should never leave the pencil. About the question about opening new business on my journey one thing led to another and I did not need much capital because I already had credibility with the people I had worked with previously. It was only a necessary expansion because of the evolution of things, especially those involving technology. About development I made them myself with my knowledge in audio engineering. But I will write in the next posts what are the most important values for you to get money in your life and also some moments that I also went to the ground and got up again. It is impossible to achieve success without many failures. Regards
Thanks.
You are really a mentor.

interesting to see your life, 👍
maybe I start with a consistent foundation
Yes! Failures and successes are Siamese twins!!
If you cannot sell your art, won't their perhaps be people that would be interested to be taught to draw, this can also give you an income, and you will still be doing your art!!
