People get all excited about all kinds of metrics. The only metric I normally monitor is $$$.

Great reminder.

This is a good reminder for anyone wanting to create online. People confuse entrepreneur with creator all the time, and I used to be guilty of this.

Actually now that I'm creating the products and services WHILE creating content, my content is "better" now. So thinking like an entrepreneur can make you a better creator, too.

Creating value is most important for your audience and community. Add something to their lives. Give more than you receive.

Great article! Semantics matter. Entrepreneurs by nature are creative, but thinking of yourself as a business owner first and creator second will allow you to build the life you want. After that you can be more of a creator.
