As a business builder
now in the creative space,
I have realized one truth…
Many people don’t pay
creatives well.
Business leaders,
for some f*cking unknown reason,
think that,
while they’re building their own businesses
expecting to be well paid for their products/services,
creative business builders
should be doing it purely for the ‘art.’
That’s bullsh*t.
Creatives need to eat also.
Martha Stewart
shares
“We were half creative
and half business.
Most businesses don’t treat
the creatives
and pay them as well
as the business people.
So many companies
make the mistake of:
‘Oh, we need them,
but they don’t need to be paid
as much.’
Well, we paid them as much.
I’m very proud of that fact.”
Pay your f*ckin’ creatives.
