I know the greatest gift I have to offer the world is my Art. Painting, film, writing and illustrating children's books - whatever the medium.
- Art is my calling.
- Growing my art business into a financially successful business is my job.
- I work full time for an accountant in order to pay my monthly bills (we are in the beginning of "tax season"). Meeting my financial obligations in the interim of growing my art business to meet my financial business goal is indeed a challenge ... and possible.
It's 2010
My art business financial goal for 2010 is to increase the total income by 5 times the amount made in 2009. This time next year, I work full time for myself.
What are the most critical elements I need to incorporate into my daily life that guarantee to propel my art business forward financially, way into the black, so much so that net income covers my living expenses, savings & debt reduction goals by 125%?

TIME! FOCUS! ENERGY!
Important ingredients to accomplish this:
- Truly embrace that growing my art business into a financially successful business is my job.
- Create and produce new work daily. (Production time grows as accounting time diminishes.)
- Market work daily and in such a way as to place my work in front of potential ideal customers more that 50% of the time. (The most successful real-estate people are out in front of potential clients 80% of the time. The least successful real-estate people are out in front of potential clients 20% of the time.)
- Get help from experts in areas that are my weakest links (marketing & selling, coaching, support groups, whatever it takes to grow the business).
- Create new healthy beliefs about money at the core level, (the subconscious).
Keeping Other Parts of Daily Living:
- Health is important to me. I am starting a new exercise program. I plan and shop for healthy meals. I grow organic healthy food with my partner. We (he) cook(s) and eat dinner regularly together.
- Relationships are important to me. I spend quality time with my sweetheart and friends. I communicate regularly with my family.
- Personal growth, balance and relaxation is important to me. I am learning how to meditate (still this overly busy mind and let new beliefs form). I study a myriad of topics for an hour nearly every morning. (Oh yeah, I like to take hot baths and, on occasion, I like to take a nap.)
Accountability:
- That's what this blog is all about!
