TALK TO PEOPLE
-on the train, plain

TED TALKS 

poepie want to know about you - what do you like doing!-will have a influence on the way you work
-show your not boring

chose how you become available - you dont have to be available all the time (communicated) 


dont be afraid to speak/contact to professionals 
  • BUT you should have a reason or a plan to contact them, a question
'who gave you your first commission?’

getting to know your ‘peers’ within the industry is beneficial in many ways.

CREATE A REASON TO TALK TO SOMEONE.

we can’t stop having opinions


why are you contacting me?
what do you want from me?
in what way do you want them to respond?

'shy bairns get nowt!'
lifes to short 
dont stop yourselves from doing something 
'whatever floats your boat'
whatever makes you who you are'

'why do people put themselves down' 'glass always half empty' 

just because someone has put a deadline on something, doesn't mean it can be changed- talk to them. - you work at your own path, in certain scenario's - 3 or 4 days could make the difference.
