The first session of our sixth iteration of Meet a Mentor ended with a fascinating talk by DJ PAULETTE. In her talk, she dropped gems of knowledge for how to create and navigate a longterm creative career.
DJ PAULETTE has been a resident at some of the best parties in the world, with residencies in prestigious clubs including the Hacienda (Manchester), Ibiza Rocks at Pacha and at Pikes Hotel (Ibiza). Her dynamic and uplifting shows plus her award-winning PR work for Talkin Loud, Mercury Records and work overseas with Radio FG (France) have earned her gold records, awards and plaudits and much international recognition and respect.
A few of Paulette's tips are:
- Make sure to stay in the game, stay ahead of the game and embrace the technology to keep you on top of your game
- Stick with your passion and it'll never feel like work
- PLAN. Have a Plan A, then a Plan B, then C, all the way until Plan Z. It's a business so plan!
- If you feel stuck, make sure you pivot
Remain true to yourself
Be sure to network and keep up with your contacts, it's always worth it
