Trust your intuition
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.
Beliefs and your inner scriptwriter
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 way artists learn
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)
One Important Thing
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.
Fine arts grants: Do it differently
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.)
