The Mind Your Business Podcast

How do you know what to focus on when?

But what if I’m a creative free spirit and I don’t like to be boxed into one style, theme, medium or project?

A little something I learned the hard way ~ (but you can learn it now!) unfortunately for us Free Spirits the “I don’t want to be BOXED IN” approach is a no go strategy when it comes to having a thriving career as an Artist.

In today’s episode I share how I choose my creative focus, and then prioritize the steps to make it happen!

Join me for the Sell A Piece of Art Workshop + Coaching Week starting March 14

Truth time. When it comes to selling your Art work, are you a hobbyist or a PRO?

Time and time again I see Artists with all levels of experience, struggle to build a successful business because they’re focusing on the wrong priorities.

Your attitude informs how you approach building your business, and it can make all the difference in how profitable you are for the long game. 

So today, let’s talk about the 2 biggest business assets that most Artists overlook, why, and how to stop overlooking them ASAP!

Join me for Creative Business Coaching over Coffee, for the next 3 Thursdays LIVE  over on Instagram @ 9 am PST.

What’s my love of cooking a good meal + sourcing the majority of my food locally have to do with running my business?

After spending 3 days in a Mastermind surrounded by some amazing business owners - the kind who are “crushing it” daily, growing to 6, even 7 figures within one calendar year ~ the concept of the slow food movement popped into my mind.

As they vulnerably shared their experiences of what that kind of growth really meant for them, I came away from that gathering with a whole new insight and understanding around what I want for my business and how it can support the life I want ~ not the other way around.

Recognizing my date with burnout is coming dangerously close, if I don’t make a change ~ this is the new approach to growing my business that I’m thinking about…

Would love to know what you think about this approach.

If overwhelm is being busy without priority, then confusion is not knowing what your priorities are.

Working backwards, that means that without clarity your days are driven by a state of confusion and overwhelm which is also what I call living on a hamster wheel.

The overwhelm never ends.

Since it doesn't look like the complexities of living a creative life + growing an online business are going to let up any time soon, or ever ~ it's up to us!

It's up to you to reclaim your time + peace + focus with purpose.

Here's where to start; honestly answer these 3 simple questions to get you pointed towards your north star, your true focus.

Happy Lunar New Year of the Tiger!

It's become tradition!

A couple of years ago I started sharing a behind the scenes studio wrap up of what worked and what didn't when it came to my art practice and my creative business.

And how did it impact my personal life?

One of my best years in business thus far, a lot of progress made, and definitely more room for improvement in one area I was struggling with last year.

The question is which one will I choose to interpret my overall year?

Remember the episodes when I shared some of my BIG business mistakes? (episodes 122 and 208)

What I'm sharing with you today is what I wish someone had explained to me a whole lot sooner ~ than the time it took for me to learn the hard way.

I'm often asked when it's time to invest in yourself, specifically your business education?

In today's episode I break it all down for you, from how much I invest in my education, to what to expect in guidance, cost and results from memberships, courses, masterminds, group to 1:1 coaching.
