Perhaps the siren call of self-employment has already reached your ears, or maybe you just know you'll be supporting a creative habit well into your old age.

I'll offer some hard-won advice about staying focused on your creative work, maintaining your artistic integrity, and getting paid to do what you goddamn love -- because that's what it's all about.
