Hi, it’s John Paul Fischbach CEO and Chief Alchemist here at the Auspicious Arts Incubator with another Hot Tip. This Tuesday is Entrepreneurial Mindset. Every artist is an entrepreneur. As an artist you come up with an idea, you gather all the resources that are required to manifest and then you create it. That’s what an entrepreneur does but there’s one thing that a business entrepreneur does that the artist entrepreneur needs to do and that is called leveraging. If you are going to pour all of your heart and soul and money into creating something, something that is unique, special and valuable you need to leverage all of this energy and effort and you need to leverage this creation.
Leveraging means to use what you have to create something more, to maximize advantage. I’m going to give you three things to consider under this idea of developing an entrepreneurial mindset by leveraging. This is just a nutshell but here’s three things to consider.
Number one, make more. Can you create more than one? Can you create other products or other services at the same time you’re making this one? Number one simply make more.
Number two, share the process. You’re about to go through a really cool, unique, creative process. Can you document it? Time lapse, photograph it, blog about it, post about it. Share the process, number two.
Number three, replicate it. Who else might want one? This is the moment to tell other people who might be interested in what you’re doing that you’re starting something cool. By the time it’s finished it’s too late so think about this is the moment to replicate so that when you build one you’ve already sold the next one.
Those are three things to consider make more, share the process and replicate it. That sets you off on the way to forming your entrepreneurial mindset.
If you go into the website you can find an entire quick fix module that’s devoted completely to the entrepreneurial mindset but this is just a taster. If this feels right to you or if you’d like to know more find that quick fix. There’s a link right below this video that will take you right there.
If this video is helpful to you, if this thinking about this concept of leverage was helpful please like the video. If you know someone else who has that habit of create it, dump it, create it and dump it please share this video with them. They need to leverage.
What I’d you to do is talk about how you leverage. How do you leverage the thing that you create so that it isn’t just that amount of energy going into one thing that actually gets leveraged into more things? If you have a way to do that please share and let’s start a conversation about that because here at the Auspicious Arts Incubator we want you all to more than survive we want every artist to thrive. Be generous and share and the best thing that you can do is to subscribe. Subscribe to these Hot Tip Tuesday videos. I’ll see you next week.
When you look for individual artist grants, what you are really looking for is an opportunity to get some help to capitalize your initial creation.
Here is the secret – – Funding is insecurity, the market is security. A grant can help you realize your vision and create something cool. It’s up to you and your business and leverage the grant to maximize the return on this investment. We can help you get the marketing and business skills along with the confidence to build a grant opportunity into a viable business. So the next time you google terms like: grants for individual artists, art fund, fine arts grants, music grants, small arts grants, individual artist grants, art grants for women; realize it’s an opportunity to build and grow your own arts business for long term future success. Finding individual artist grants is just a first step.
