Giving Up the Good for the Great

What this episode covers

This podcast is about giving up the good for the great. It's about learning to say no to things in order to make space for the thing that you really, really want. I have done this many times over the course of my life, and I've noticed that it's an exercise that will absolutely take you to the next level in whatever you want to do. In the podcast, I tell you about all the different times in which I've done this to level up in my life. Most of those times, it had to do with my art.  Basically, I've had to say no to a lot of things in order to make my art happen.  The thing is, once you get used to saying no, you start to experience how much abundance you can create.  By saying no to other things, I have managed to create a lot more time than I ever thought possible.  That happened when I was a teenager, when I was a working professional, when I started having kids, and then now it's happening again as I run my art business.In this episode, I also make an announcement about how I am saying no yet again in order to level myself up.  For years people have been asking me to teach them. I have tried out a number of different styles of doing this, but the truth is I don't really want to do it.  My major goals in life are to have a successful family, make really incredible paintings, and build a business based on those paintings that will support my family and inspire my children. Right there you have it.  Those are my three main goals in life.  To get those three things done, I can't do anything that doesn't fit in with them.  Although I enjoy teaching, creating a whole teaching empire online is not going to help me with my goals.  I want to build a business which is based on me painting, not me making teaching materials.  I want the business to be based on me making the best art I can possibly make.Now, this decision was not easy, and I think in the episode you can hear that it was not easy for me.  However, I know that it’s going to pave the way for something really big and beautiful in my future. Whatever it is that you really want, it's important that you choose it. It's important that you say yes to that thing and you say no to everything else that can get in the way.  It's that simple to create more time and resources than you ever thought you had.  It's totally magical, and I can't wait for you to do it. If you enjoyed this episode, definitely tune in every Friday because I will be releasing a new episode each week. If you're interested in deeper mindset support to help you reach your creative goals, click here to learn about the Creative Abundance Circle, my weekly coaching offering.
