4 Essential Steps for Finding Collaborators and Building a Winning Team

The idea of a solo creator who goes off to a cabin in the woods for a month and returns with a finished masterpiece? Purely a mirage.

The “OTHER 50%” you’re missing = how to build your network + community

If you're wondering how to build your network & create community around your work, here's the no bullshit answer: Do the Work. Creating something and putting it out there is just the beginning.
