The tradition continues for the 3rd year in a row!

I'm back with my 2022 year in review.

At the close of each year, I share 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.

How did my work impact my personal life and this year especially how did my personal life impact my business?

One of the most challenging years filled with a new level of growing pains plus the emotional and physical pains left over from a significant amount of personal health stress ~ I share:

• my biggest lessons I learned
• the progress I made in spite of it all
• what I'm choosing to leave behind
• what I'm choosing to take with me into 2023
• what I'm most grateful for even through the hard lessons learned

Ready to start fresh for 2023 and kick-off your year with clarity + focus for your Art business!

My planning practice, or rather my planning obsession, has reached a new level and I've got a brand new tip to share with you in this episode.

Inspired by another new love for project management - something that before my business started to grow to include a team that I had no idea "was a thing" - this planning tip is good for both using pen (preferably markers!) + paper and digital.

I’m also celebrating the release of the brand new 2nd edition limited edition 2023 creative planner, which is date free so you can start it or use it at any time of the year that you like.

How does feeling more calm with less overwhelm sound when it comes to growing your Art business?

Yes? tune in!

Today's episode is another special edition of Creative Business Coaching over Coffee where I go LIVE on Instagram and share business guidance.

On this call, we covered such a variety of topics I decided to split this one into two parts, with this being PART 1.

Inspired by a recent comment our Expansive Artist member Linda shared with me, today I want to talk to you more about what it means to apply the Slow Build to growing your business as an Artist.

I also share some tips on how to start planning your Holiday launch product offerings.

If you catch this episode early you can join me LIVE TODAY Thursday, August 17 @ 10 am PDT over on Instagram @creativethursday for another session of Creative Business Coaching over Coffee

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!

Have you ever thought you were clear on your "priorities" only to realize that something else always comes first?

And is what comes first, something you want or something for someone else?

This year I was introduced to one concept that was a huge wake-up call for me in terms of getting to the bottom of what matters most to me - not anyone else.

Continuing on in our first of the year mini planning series, in today's episode I'm introducing you to a simple exercise to help you understand why you may be letting everything and everyone else be the priority ~ and how to begin staying in integrity with yourself and what you value most.

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?

Or rather, do you plan?

And if not, why not?

And if yes! tell me. Paper or Digital?

And if paper what are your non-negotiables when it comes to your favorite planners.

Do you habit track?

Do you do 90 day plans, yearly, monthly? or are you lucky if you just manage to chicken scratch a to do list?

Are you a bullet journaler?

Lined or Plain paper?

Maybe you heard, I'm cooking up a (creative) plan(ner)...and I'd love to hear from you.

Drop me a dm @creativethursday on instagram

And enjoy this week's episode!

This process is my new go to when it comes to having a clear daily focus that leads to taking action on the important steps that actually move the needle forward, I'm sharing some practical steps for crafting your 90 day plan.

I'm also pulling back the curtain to talk about some of the challenges I don't always speak about publicly. I explore why the well intended oversharing on social media is beginning to have a negative impact and how this is influencing my desired outcome for this quarter.

And last but not least an announcement! an idea in the making for several years, I'm launching a brand new product this quarter!
