Imagine a world where young creatives are so confident in themselves and their art that nothing can stop them! If you read this book and can grasp even a tiny increase in pride for what you make and create, I think the world will be that much more beautiful!

On the Edge of Greatness by Heidi Korte is not so much a ‘cuddle under the covers with a cup of tea’ kind of book but rather a valuable tool that should be kept close at hand by any and all creatives. It’s the sort of book that invites scribbles and highlighters to mark the pages. It is full of testimonies by musicians, painters, and writers, reminding you that you are not alone in your struggle, and even better, some solutions are offered! The narrative will resonate with creatives from across a multitude of disciplines as Heidi shares with integrity, compassion, and vulnerability. This is a great companion guide when you find yourself standing on the edge of greatness!

I have come to know, trust, and respect Heidi Korte, and I highly recommend her book to artisans just beginning as well as seasoned ones. Most likely, the latter have learned a lot of this the hard way—ha!—but the reminder does us all well. She has gotten to the heart of issues we have all dealt with and that we continue to have pop into our heads at a moment’s notice. Surprise! Many of these challenges can paralyze us or . . . if we look them straight in the eye . . . can thrust us forward in our journey. If you find yourself ‘stuck,’ you may very well find the key here if you dare to be honest with your creative self. Many will benefit from reading this book, and there is a good chance you will be among them.

I love this book. On the Edge of Greatness is an equipping tool for all creatives. Heidi Korte brings each reader on her journey through the depths of defeat to the heights of personal breakthrough, dedication, and right motivation, along with the pure joy of embracing every challenge, then simply turning it into triumph. Thank you, Heidi, for this book. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to grow in their craft. If you are a beginner, read this book. If you are somewhere in the middle of your creative journey, read this book. If you are highly skilled, stay humble, and read this book. One will only get better by embracing each chapter and being encouraged by real and raw stories from many of Heidi’s students as well as her own journey in becoming a highly skilled creative.
