Saying no as an illustrator: dropping projects can boost your career.

Juggling too many plates, saying yes to everything, and wondering if it’s time to let something go... It's not a fun place to be. (And all three of us have been there, got the frazzled t-shirt). 

In this episode, we share the projects, jobs, and ideas we’ve binned along the way to make room for the shiny new stuff.

We chat about:

• Why it’s okay to drop what isn’t working (even when you love parts of it).
• Illustrator school visits, online shops, and in-person events.
• The power of saying no. NOOOO!
• How dropping things helps you focus on what you’re brilliant at.

• We made you some workshops and resources to help you navigate a creative career: The Good Ship Freebies
