Theres so easy way to go about this.
Think of what youd love to do.
Maybe youre good at connecting people, offering advice, organising events or helping others build their businesses.
Be as objective as possible and dont stress over past failures.
Or see how your talent of offering people advice links to their businesses success.

Does it feel empowering?
Write down the emotions youre feeling and the memories associated with them.
Your soft skills count easily as skills youll want to introduce to your new team or workplace.
Look out for a mentor, a coach or someone smart.
Design your approach strategy.
Get back to the old pen and paper and start channelling your muse.
Your job landing strategy should focus on at least five questions:
What are my talents?
How can I educate myself more / How can I harvest my talents?
Where do I want to use my talents?
What outlets do I need to create for my talents to shine on?
When do I begin?
Dont fall into the trap of only bookmarking jobs in your proximity, or only companies that advertise openings.
Start sending open applications with a link to your new super neat online CV.
Feel free to send as many as 100 (yes, 100) applications per week.
Negotiate your terms and fees.
Some NGOs and state programmes offer free of charge consultancy on starting a small company or freelancing.
Sign the papers and get to work.
Now that youve landed your creative dream job, double-check all legal requirements are met.
