Hot Tip Tuesday by Auspicious Arts Incubator
Bite-sized pieces of advice for artists, every week!
Artists are the most valuable citizens we have. The ability to stretch minds, open hearts and change lives is exactly what the world needs. John Paul takes a moment to celebrate, honour and appreciate artists.
This week’s Hot Tip Tuesday, John Paul talks about the intuition of artists, and how following that intuition is how we are so successful at the art we create.
Some beliefs are empowering while some limit you from achieving what you know in your heart is possible. These beliefs are the stories you assume to be true about yourself, your life and others. Your inner script writer creates responses for you based on these beliefs. In order to change these scripts you need to identify what you don’t like and be able to write down how you want it instead. Julie-Anne Black shares a cool exercise to do this.
the secret to the way we become competent is to follow the formula, “learn, do”. Be curious, have a desire then go out and learn something then do what you learned. then go out and learn something else, then do it… Repeat! (if you don’t do it the learning won’t sink in)
You are the CEO of your arts career. It is up to you to steer the course to success. Each and every day you need to have a chat with your CEO self and discuss the one thing that you could do today that would have the most impact on your arts business. As opposed to the day’s list of tasks.
Three steps to improving results are
1. start doing it differently (change the pattern)
2. be smarter (go learn something, improve your skills)
3. mindset is critical (If you believe you can, or if you believe you can’t . . . You are right.)
This weeks hot tip Tuesday John Paul Fischbach gives some much needed advice on investing in yourself, your arts business. Look out for the tip “invest in your business too”

Networking is difficult for artists because some of us are a little bit introverted and we don’t really like that moving around and talking. We don’t even know what to say, so here’s a little tip. When someone comes up to you and says “What do you do?” The first thing that happens is this paralysis because we do too many things. As artists we’ve got a bunch of different things on the go so it’s difficult for us to pick one but that’s what you want to do. Pick only one thing.
You will do some things for you
You will do more for someone else
You will do it all if someone is holding you accountable
Get someone who believes in you and has your best interest at heart and ask them to be your accountability coach.
