You’re only as good as your network

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

I was at a college meeting earlier this week. One of the participants said that  creative professional skill sets are only as deep as their network.

What a profound statement.

Creative people are often independent people.  In today’s business environment, creatives need multiple skills  to compete for jobs.  Yes, a photographer, designer or writer may have multiple talents, but most creatives have a core skill — as they should.

If you market yourself in too many areas, you will only be as good as your weakest skill.

Rather than trying to do everything yourself, develop your network.  You may be great at design, but your photography may bring your work down to average.  A photographer may have great lighting skills, but average retouching skills weaken the overall product.

Embrace your strengths. Acknowledge your weakness and create an incredible network to be the best.
