Success means different things to different people. Doing work that we love. Making a difference. Financial security. Balancing a career with family. Fame and fortune. All of the above. For many of us, it’s about what career success can bring into our lives that becomes the driving force. Freedom to choose how to live and work, and finding career fulfilment, are arguably key goals for today’s creatives.
Yet navigating the path to success isn’t easy. We often don’t appreciate how far we’ve come, let alone understand how we got there. Rising to the challenge of a tricky client brief, pushing your creativity to new heights, taking the freelance leap, starting a business… these are the moments in our career that can make or break us.
Throughout life we may also experience serendipitous encounters that lead us down a different path: a chance conversation that results in a new job, or an opportunity to test our skills in ways we didn’t think possible. We may not grasp the significance of these moments until much later, when we have that elusive ‘ah-ha!’ moment and we realise that everything has finally fallen into place. Of course, for many of us that moment has yet to materialise. Take comfort that the struggle is part of the journey. Success doesn’t happen without it.
Over the following pages, a selection of leading creatives share the pivotal moments in their careers, and how these standout experiences have shaped their own definition of career success – and hopefully will fuel the inspiration of all readers wanting to make the most of a career in the creative industries.
