60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: How Is an Artist Like a Businessperson?

Hello to you in Innaloo, Australia!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

Ever have days when the blank page mocks you? How hard can 60 Seconds be? I’m an artist, a story artist. I got nothing. No inspiration.

Like an answer to a prayer here’s an email from Tami Simon of Sounds True asking: “What if being a businessperson is actually a lot like being an artist?”

Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Zingerman’s Deli, wrote “The Art of Business: Why I Want to Be an Artist.” He says,  “The more you do something in a way that others aren’t already doing it, the more you have a shot at having your work remembered positively for a long time.”

Simon continues the theme: “We need businesspeople who bring their artistry to the task. People who want to use business to lift people up and solve social problems. People who bring the full power of their soul, their unique gifts, into the work that they do. The problems we collectively face won’t be solved by conformity. They will be solved by artists who create in the name of all of us.”

That’s us! We’re artists who make great entrepreneurs!
