Why Your Goals Fall Short...

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Power In Systems...

Dear Creative Peep,

​

After working with soooo many artists, I have noticed a few patterns.

Artists seem to be really great at setting big lofty amazing goals for their lives and their businesses in the New Year. But often artists struggle to implement those goals.

Why is that?

I believe that it's partly because we struggle to develop and implement systems in our creative practices and businesses.

When I look back at my art business, guess where I see the greatest successes and the biggest wins?

It's in the areas of my life where I have established systems for creativity and systems for my business.

I have systems for photographing, styling, listing and shipping my art.

I have systems for creating courses.

I have systems for social media.

I have systems for my process of painting. This one thing has saved me hours upon hours of work!

I have systems for writing this newsletter. HA!

If you can develop and establish a system that works for you, I promise, you CAN accomplish some of those big lofty goals that you are making for your business in 2025.

When you go to make your goals for 2025, I encourage you to also think about setting into place the systems that will help you achieve those goals.

Make Cringe-Worthy ART! Hello There Creative Peep, Blank Canvas Syndrome is when you have an irrational fear of starting a new painting and you feel like the blank canvas is staring you down. Been there? It's a real condition. But I just made up the term for it. If you struggle with getting started or you have a fear of making bad art, you are NOT ALONE in this. This is very common among artists. And for THIS reason, I often tell artists that it's so important to have an informal practice...

My Story Hello There Creative Peep, When do you know that it's time to make a creative shift? When you have exhausted everything that there is to say about something. This might show up through a feeling of not being satisfied with your work or just pure boredom. You lose the joy for the process of painting. You should be on fire to jump out of bed in the mornings to get back into your studio in order to paint! So what would make you excited to paint again? Maybe you need a change of scenery?...

Indication Signs/ Symptoms Hello Creative Peep, Something that I have learned from working with over 8,500 artists is that we don't ALWAYS know when we are stuck. But I can tell you that when I am in a state of creative flow, everything just falls into place. Creating is effortless. I am inspired but not to the point of overwhelm. I have a focus in my art. Sharing and selling is a delight and not a chore. I don't have to try too hard. I am obsessed about the work that I am making, to the...
