Building something from scratch requires not just persistence, but resilience. It also means having a plan for making the most of each day without feeling overwhelmed. This panel spotlights creators who share candid stories of facing and overcoming challenges and finding a workflow that works. They’ll share what they’ve learned so you can avoid repeating mistakes and can benefit from the strategies they grew to rely on in surviving the treacherous early months and the hard periods of plateau. This conversation was part of the Journalism Creator Summit on Friday, November 4, 2022 and hosted by the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. This summit centered around six new case studies that spotlight creators who share mistakes they’ve made, lessons they’ve learned and specific tactics you can apply to your own venture.
