This article began with the intentions of creating a short inspirational message to motivate you to make positive changes in your art career. Suddenly, as if it was propelled by its own volition, the article grew as new thoughts came to mind. Here you will find inspiration, information, and resources to help you meet new challenges and empower and grow your art career and achieve your creative, career and financial goals.
Although I’m writing this in the beginning of a new year, any time during the year is a good time to reflect on the year past. You may begin by asking yourself such questions as…
* What actions did I take that worked best?
* What changes do I need to make in my perspective?
* What didn’t work and needs to be replaced or eliminated?
* What change can I make in my daily routine to improve my art career?
* Where can I find ways to increase financial support and income?
* What steps can I take to solve some challenging issues I now have?
* What will I do differently in the year ahead?
* What do I need help with and where can I get it?
Instead of letting the answers swirl around in your mind, write the answers in your journal and refer to them often. They will help you achieve clarity and provide some direction. Decide what you need to do to build what is currently working as well as what you need to stop doing and where you can get the help you need.
