018 Powerful Goal Setting For Artists And Those In Art Business
from Paint Rest Repeat: Art Business & Artist Marketing with Ros Gervay · host Ros Gervay and Laura Day
This episode is all about goal setting for artists, makers and artpreneurs! Laura shares that she is exploring “Profit First” - a book by Mike Michalowicz which sets out a cash management system for entrepreneurs. Ros shares a new quarterly planning approach she is trying, inspired by a business mentor Tash Corbin. This is how it works: Do a brain dump of all your ideas and what you want to achieve in the quarter. These can be in all areas of your life including health, family etc. Then look at your list and determine which of those items are goal (rather than actions). Goals are the ones that have a number related to them. E.g. Create 6 artworks, make 10 sales etc. Hone your goals to a list of 3 only. List out 9-10 total actions that relate to your goal list. You can choose items from your original brain dump list. Or you may realise that some of the items in your original list are not going to help with your goals, so you can leave them aside for another day. Grab the workbook to help you to apply this planning! You can do this at any time throughout the year. https://laurajaneday.com/resources Laura chats about the importance of having a focus for your creative energy and setting yourself up with realistic goals. By channeling your energy and creativity into specific activities as set out in your plan, will help you to achieve your goals. We also touch on some tips for overachievers and also those who have to nurture their energy levels. DM us to let us know what your 3 goals are for the quarter! We hope that you enjoy the Show!
