3. INTRODUCTION
Have you ever noticed a problem in your society, one that you deal
with every day? We find solving these problems makes for a great
project. For Kollektiv we realised that artists didn't know enough
about professionalism, were struggling financially and hadn't
connected with the community in a way that they could start
practising those capabilities. There was a problem and we decided to
do something about it. Start with an idea, don't be afraid and do
everything you can to solve the problem. Now (after some hard work)
- Kollektiv is an award winning art gallery. We respond to the need for
artists to know how best to utilise their city’s opportunities.
We concentrate on developing entrepreneurial skills, idea generation,
risk-taking, collaboration, communication and resource-fulness.
We endorse using unfamiliar and empty space. We teach workshops
to the public, host professional talks, and we use crowd-funding to
support new artists and show them how to fund a project using their
supportive, global, online network. A - Z

8. WORK HARD + BE NICE TO PEOPLE
BY SOPHIE GIBLIN, JANUARY 12, 2015

Thank you for reading Chapter 1. If you didn’t catch the last post,
just click here:
“We Learn by Doing, so We’re Doing it”
Recently i’ve been writing a set of blogs sharing my start-up
story. The aim is to practice being less awkward at writing, but at
the same time - inspire those out there wanting to start a crazy
awesome project that with enough vision and passion can make
it happen!
I’ve called Chapter 2 Work Hard + Be Nice To People, because
being able to recognise the awesome individuals taking time out
of their busy lives to give good advice, is a vital part of the
start-up process. Take those people for coffee, implement their
good advice and work hard to make your project a reality.
I’d like to dedicate this chapter to all my mentors who filled me
with confidence, helped me get the best out of Kollektiv and let
me do my thing, my way. Without these amazing individuals, it
would’ve taken a lot longer to find myself and Kollektiv.
ness. I teach it all over the country at creative studios, youth cen-
tres and universities.
