Business of Being Creative with Sean Low

Sean Low

I’m Sean Low, and I’ve been lending practical business advice to those in the business of being creative since the early 2000s, including accomplished notables such as Preston Bailey, Vicente Wolf, Nate Berkus, Sawyer Berson, Style Me Pretty, Marcy Blum, Michelle Rago, and Sylvia Weinstock--to name a few. The key to my own success has been my ability to help artists build their businesses in a way that most honors the art that is behind them. I’ll give you straight up, no holds barred advice on handling what happens from deal to done. The journey with your client begins when they first connect with you, whether digitally or in real life. And from that moment until the project is finished, you have the power to manifest an experience and journey with them that’s transformative for all. Everyone should be creative. Whatever your art is, it should invigorate you and bring you joy. And if it happens to be your business, it should bring you the money you need to KEEP being creative. Hopefully, I will challenge you each week to do just that. So, let’s not just think outside the box... Let’s erase it!

162: Be Grateful: Shun The Non-Believers

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low

06/11/24 • 17 min

Creative business is built on the microscopic. For so many creative businesses, the very idea of serving more than 500 customers in a year is silly. Most are built on less than 50. And yet we speak in platitudes and generalities not radical authenticity. We do it because we have framed the conversation in terms of fear and rejection. How about we consider being grateful as we shun the non-believers. Listen in...

8: Emotional Resonance, Professionalism, Stillness, A Flashlight And Generosity

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low

06/30/20 • 20 min

Emotional resonance is what separates you, the artist, from the rest of us. While you have a gift at your craft, that is not why you are paid. You are paid to be professional, to make us feel and to feel while not getting lost in the emotion of the moment. Simultaneously, engaged and removed from the situation. Enter stillness, a flashlight and generosity.

5: The Value Of The Subjective And Knowing If You Are Drawing Bird Or Clouds

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low

06/09/20 • 26 min

Today we are going to talk about the value of the subjective, the emotional component that is critical to the success of every creative business. It is knowing the difference between drawing birds and clouds and when you might share each. It is also knowing that the language of emotional and its return dwarfs anything rational. In the end, what it means is that you have to stop playing the game you are not very good at and start (or only) play the one you are.
