A short YouTube conversation (by Eric Deeran) about the difference between doing technical creative work (shooting/editing) and running a business. Speakers argue that building a business requires systems and management—often unglamorous work—and that some people should remain technicians while others build teams. They also highlight the value of community and guidance (a roadmap) in enabling creators to transition to business roles.
And so it's absolutely super exciting.
It is. And it's. It's so interesting because I think a lot of people still operate out of that, like, technician mindset. And I think you just, at the end of the day, you need to decide what you want because it's not for everybody. You know, running a business is putting in systems. It's some, sometimes not all the sexy stuff.
Right.
It's not always shooting and editing all the time.
No.
People who just love the shooting and the editing should stay and do the shooting and editing. Like, if you don't want to run a business, that's okay. But I think really what we're building here with you is building this machine where you have. You can empower a team of people to work with you to then bring jobs for them and then them be the technicians within your business, you know.
Most, most definitely. And like talking about having that, that machine is it. I, like I said I wouldn't be here without this, the guidance and like this roadmap. And like, for someone who is looking to, you know, you know, do that, it. It's such a huge help being part of this community.
