Hello crafters, As I'm sure you know, the key to success is the ability to adapt. Whether it's finding motivation when you're away from home or taking charge of your business, it's important to stay in the moment and, above all, find inspiration.  Maria Nerius explains in her article, Finding Creativity on the Road that your brain doesn't have to switch off when you're away from your craft studio or business. You can find inspiration everywhere — even in a local phonebook! Use this time to think of ideas and find new influences for your products. Another article, Surviving It All With Creativity, is filled with wise advice for all craft professionals. Maria's main business tip is make success happen for yourself! Don't sit back and get comfortable — ask questions, think proactively and create your own job. She also stresses the importance of educating yourself in terms of legalities and creating a time management plan.
