In the world of creativity, you can look around and see the people who take a forward-fast approach. They are the ones who are taking charge of their personal and professional lives, making significant choices about how they view things, choosing their attitude with purpose, attracting the right collaborators to support their vision, and most of all, taking action to make things happen.
