Do you have enough Confidence in your Artistic Vision to Persevere?

It is really satisfying to be working with artists from around the globe to help them create a Vision, where they:

• discover their purpose
• define their mission
• create a unique value proposition that will serve their tribe

As long as the artist is willing to:

• be open, confront the truth, and be vulnerable
• trust the process, me, and themselves
• invest the time and the effort required

Their effort eventually yields the seed to an extraordinarily fulfilling and profitable artistic enterprise.

These artists are no only excited, they are actually thrilled.

Why? Because for years, these artists have been longing for a certain confidence that comes from their new clarity of Vision.

It is this new found confidence that gives artists the ability and fortitude to persevere.

For the first time they have a road map for making art and making money.

And this road map fully aligns their creativity and integrity with their profits.

They have something most of humanity never fully realizes. They know their purpose.

But guess what? Creating this inspiring seed is the easy part.

What’s the hard part?

Planting the seed and tending the garden, season after season, after season.

If you want to eat, you can’t skip a season.

There a few artists who I have worked with who are thrilled to finally have their Vision.

But guess what? They never plant the damn seed!

So. They never yield any crop.

Yes. You heard me and you know who you are!

What am I taking about?

Visioning is the most important part. No doubt. It is the foundation.

But again, it is the easy part.

The hard part is taking continuous consistent action and managing all of the eight realms of an artistic enterprise.

1. Visioning – Confirming your values and expressing your purpose. “Know thyself.”
2. Valuing – Creating unique value above and beyond the art.
3. Dealing – Making art that makes money.
4. Copyrighting – Claiming your intellectual property.
5. Targeting – Celebrating your tribe’s values and culture.
6. Selling – Having guided conversations.
7. Profiting – More money in, less money out.
8. Accomplishing – Remaining committed to a SMARTER goal.

Have you had a brilliant idea but abandoned it?

• Why haven’t you moved forward?
• Is something missing?
• Have you prepared the soil?

The truth will set you free.
