Monica Palmer is in a state of transititon, she loves her design work and the people she works with but she knows there are vast opportunities waiting for her far beyond her home town of Perth. With an upcoming trip to the United States, Mon is starting to experiment with ideas around working remotely and using the internet as a vehicle to derive an income online.

This week's podcast is really about exploring alternative ways for your creativity to manifest itself in business. As each of us gets further into their creative careers the hope is that we’ll refine our craft, attract better clients, more challenging projects and produce better work. Our creative skills reach new heights, our network stretches farther and wider and we’re hungry for more.

But what if one day, for any number of reasons you wake up and for the first time you’re just not as excited about what it is you do, as you were before? What if you feel a little bit, trapped, like you’re just repeating the same thing over and over and you really want to try something different but you don’t know what? What if your patience with the whims of your clients who never know what they want until they’ve seen it, just seems to be drying up a little bit? Even though you’re good at what you do, what if you feel like you just don’t want to do this anymore?

If you decide to change direction in your career, a part of you must be screaming, wouldn’t it be a shame to just throw it all away? All the time you’ve spent building up experience, such an incredible portfolio, isn’t this who you are and what you do? Perhaps it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s a waste. Lets share some ways that you can keep your creative flare, your love for design while applying the lessons and experiences you’ve learnt from the past.
