Summary
James and Pat ask questions, discuss options, and debate financial and productivity growth plans for creatives. The debate: Pat must convince James that it’s possible to have a growth plan for purely creative work. The plans: Pat and James run through their respective growth plans for BOTH their creative-adjacent and purely creative work. For both: How to find more capacity to do more and better work, then help it find its audience and grow income. Hint: James says ‘raise my rates’ then discusses increasing the perceived and real value of his work as a ghostwriter.
