Feeling torn every time you head to your 9-to-5 job, as if you're cheating on your creative side hustle? And vice-versa? 

You shouldn't feel dissatisfied with either role you play as a creative, because like most artists, you may never make your full-time income from art alone. 

There's 4 key mindsets and strategies that you can implement that will help end the struggle between your traditional full-time job and your creative passion - and we shared them in this Creative Checkup livestream excerpt. 

1. Give Each Role Equal Focus
2. See Them as Compatible, not Competitve
3. Make Creative Work a Natural Part of Your Day
4. Implement Systems that Help You Find Balance
