Ep 15 - The SMART Path To Your Creative Goals

Are you grinding gig to gig, trying to stay afloat — but not really moving forward? This episode is for you. Creative careers are full of highs and lows. Rent is due, food needs to be on the table, and sometimes the next gig is all you can think about. But what if you stopped surviving and started strategizing? In this episode,

Paul Steven Forrest breaks down the SMART Path — a clear, actionable way to move toward your creative dream. It’s not magic. Not a hustle mindset. It’s Strategy. Momentum. Apprenticeship. Risk. Tenacity. Each one is a step forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why working hard isn’t enough—you need direction. How to stop living project to project and start climbing higher. What apprentices know that veterans sometimes forget. The one mindset shift that keeps you moving forward (even when you're tired).

And...Why “just for now” doesn’t mean “forever.” Don’t look down. Look up. Get clear about where “there” is for you —and take the next smart step to get there.
