So, how can we think more like an artist, and what's to be gained by doing so? Well, firstly, be a creator. There's a big difference between being a consumer and being a creator. Being a consumer is basically passive, it's watching, listening, scrolling. For the most part, you just let the entertainment wash over you. There's little work and no judgement or risk. Being a consumer is easy, and most everyone is encouraging you to be a consumer. Certainly, the people in businesses selling what you're consuming.
