Every day I write one paragraph that's INCREDIBLY valuable. Then, I send it to my 26,993 newsletter subscribers. Check it out here: fortheinterested.com/subscri…

Now that you feel better about saying not to stuff, here are some boundaries you might want to establish for yourself - they've worked great for me.

11. You don't have to have started years ago. It's never too late. YOUR TURN: What's something you don't do that hasn't held you back?

9. You don't have to have any credentials. You don't need a degree, certificate, or permission from anyone - your creations speak for you, not your resume. 10. You don't have to stick with it. Successful creative entrepreneurs quit all the time - it's OK to move on.

7. You don't have to have an email list. It's the most reliable way to reach your audience, but it's not the only way. 8. You don't have to use a lead magnet. You don't need bait to get people to sign up if you actually send valuable emails.

5. You don't have to make it about you. Success is determined by the value you create for others, not the details you reveal about yourself. 6. You don't have to quit your job. You can make it without being a full-time creative entrepreneur - and it's often easier to do so.

3. You don't have to be on every platform. The more platforms you use, the less you'll get from them. 4. You don't have to make videos. Or blog posts. Or a podcast. Create whatever you want in whatever format you want.
