Ep 35. 7 deadly career mistakes to avoid for multi-passionate creatives

Do you ever feel being pulled by many directions and interests? Have you tried to fit yourself into one professional label? Or, have you been beating yourself up with this question, "why can't I focus on one thing?" Well, you’re not alone.

Join me, a fellow multi-passionate creative, as I explore the seven deadly mistakes we often make in our careers. Let’s name them so that we can take less detours.
