Top Comments of this video!! :3
He speaks the truth! I lived in my car for two years on $20k to get my business going, then worked another three breaking even. I'm at 10 years now and the company works alright, but I spent many of my highest earning potential years taking the risk to do this... it works best long term if you love it, believe in it, or think it's important for the world.

Being intelligent and highly creative often results in being very divided, unfocused and having a difficult time settling on a direction. Often the people who appear to be very successful aren't people who possess any of the qualities typically associated with success, they're just simple people who decided their direction in life early and they focused all of their effort on that singular goal. Especially in the age of the "new elitism" many intelligent people waste a large portion of their lives to becoming institutionalized zombies as they get bogged down in the mire of academia rather than pursuit of their ambitions. I would advise any young person, get only as much schooling as is required for you to have the credential to support yourself in a career you feel is worthwhile. Once you're there, continue to educate yourself in pursuit if your ambitions.

Absolutely the Truth. I can say 100%, as a person who's always chased the creative path in life , that every thing he said is spot on.
It's really a rude awakening to realize that most famous or successful artists (musician,painter,actors,etc) are connected through family or friends to other highly successful, influential people.
Its ALOT about who you know.
Money tends to stay in select social circles

I pray that every creative person who's watched this video...will remain motivated to pursue their path....one thing he forgot to mention is that nothing happens by coincidence....you wouldn't be given the creative gift if you were not meant to use it in the world...otherwise why would it be given to you?? Love and light to everyone!!šÆš„š

He treads the line with being realistic and pessimistic. He finished well with keeping your day job and working on your dream on the side but Jordan was being a complete dream crusher. You donāt have to do things the way others have done it. If youāre talented enough, determined enough, and motivated enoughā¦.you can blaze your own trail.

I was about to make my rebuttal till I heard him at the end. He said exactly what I do. This is the only way. Also, what I create, I do not care for recognition. I do it for the sake of making one forget about their concerns. If I can make just one person feel, even for a moment. That is the reward. I let my energy speak for itself.

He is spot on. I have been an aspiring inventor since I was 5 and it has been rough on the heart. Nothing is as frustrating as having an idea everyone around you thinks is great and supports you/cheers you on but you have no resources, time, nor capital to get the wheels turning. I think he left one big issue with being creative in this world and thatās paying the bills while trying to pursue your passion. Jobs suck all the motivation and creativity right out of you on a day to day basis and unfortunately it takes about a day (Saturday) to recuperate it backā¦leaving just one day of good work unless you have other obligations. It is hard work to overcome that, but if youāre struggling my personal advice is try to have a non 0% day. Even if you put 2 bucks in the wish jar for that $1,000,000 idea youāre making progress. If youāre programming at least put some comments in describing what you want the code to do, even better if you can guess the syntax before researching into it. If youāre writing a book, do short stories first that you can dish out in a small manner and build a portfolio/get raw ideas out for refinement. If youāre developing a physical product, which I find to be the hardest, I cannot recommend a 3D printer enough. Your product may be metal or wood, but the rapid prototyping with a well calibrated 3D printer will save you gallons of time as you can print while doing chores or go to work if you trust it. The key is to not stare at the mountain when youāre climbing, but to stare at the next foot hold/anchor.

I am creative and itās been hard. Iām a writer and a digital artist. I had to separate the both, which one I love more and decided Iāll focus on my fantasy writing. I created a business and had to put money into it, then I ended up broke, so I had to find a 9 to 5 job as my emergency support. As a creative person living a repetitive cycle is incredibly hard, especially since I am bipolar and my moods are hard to keep still. Iāve never been capable of staying still in one place, so I left the job and decided to temp . Eventually, I used my degree for education. Itās been a hard journey. And I can only hope that one day it gets better.
This is the advice Iām going to give everyone especially the young. If you are multi creative focus on one , stop thinking which makes more money, just focus on the one that brings you happiness. And when a year passes and nothing has movedā¦ continue, and continue, and continue. DO NOT give up, because it is consistency of the mind and action that will help you achieve your dreams. To all my creative fellows, I wish you luck in this bumpy yet lovely journey. -with <3

Creativity is a curse just as much as it is a blessing. People love to see your creativity come to life but people that are more creative minded tend to suffer from mental disorders as well
