Searching for Motivation - Neil Gaiman's "Make Good Art" Speech

Neil Gaiman's "Make Good Art" speech is a must watch for anyone who wants to have a career as a freelancer. In it, Gaiman talks about the challenges and joys of the freelancing world and gives sound advice, not only on how to get started and how to be better at what you do, but also on what happens once you start being successful.

Above all, he encourages us to find our own voice and use it as our most precious resource because it is the only thing we have that nobody else does.
