Just do it.
 
 
We watched the movie AIR over the weekend. Just a few minutes in, I knew there will have to be a Creativepreneur Digest issue dedicated to it!
 
Powerful is an understatement.
 
AIR, from award-winning director and actor Ben Affleck, lifts the curtain on how the industry-shaking partnership between, a then-rookie, Michael Jordan and Nike, a then-underdog sports brand, came to life, skyrocketed Nike's growth and revolutionized the athlete & sports world.
 
As always, we strive to find business inspiration in various niches and industries, and AIR is most definitely the one to learn from!

3 major takeaways - from AIR to your creative business:
 
โถ Your job is not done until the job is done.
 
You started this thing - so you better produce your best work! Commit to your craft and your excellence, in every part of your business - both creative and admin. If the project you're about to deliver to your client doesn't match your โ€œcurrent bestโ€ standard, then the project is not done. Long term success is always built on hard work, not on cutting corners and mediocre results.
 
โท Perfect results count - - not a perfect process. 
 
Your ultimate goal is the perfect score! Making steps to get there will look different when you just getting started, and when you're 5 years in business. What matters is taking consistent, sometimes messy, often times imperfect action to get to your desired results, adjusting and perfecting your process along the way as you learn all the ins and outs of your specific business and the specific needs of your clients.  
 
โธ A shoe is just a shoe until someone steps into it.
 
Your creative business is just a business until you, First name / yes YOU, fully and wholeheartedly,  step into it! Step into your own CEO power, make the rules, take charge, lean into your intuition, take calculated risks and reap rewards! Luckily for you, there is no boss or board of directors to report to and jump through hoops to get approvals.
 
It's ALL YOU! And you can do this!

Highly recommend you go watch AIR in a theater near you - it's cinematic, it's powerful and it's truly inspiring!
 
Business book to read afterwards: The Shoe Dog - a memoir by the creator of Nike, Phil Knight.
