This is what the seasons of my business typically look like:

Winter: Planning, practicing, resting - Do I want to repeat last year or change some things? How can I make this year more enjoyable?

Spring: Experimenting, pitching - Stick to the plan and welcome new, fun opportunities.

Summer: Hustling - Let’s go!

Fall: Slowing, regrouping - Avoid burnout.

Listen to this week’s episode to hear an explanation of each, including the things I’m currently doing in this winter season to prepare for having my most productive/profitable year yet. I also share recommended replacements for all of that negative self-talk new artists often given themselves in the beginning of their art careers. Things like, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’m not where I want to be yet…”

Listen to hear how I personally combat the negativity and replace it with hope! The Series Six Challenge starts SOON! Join us: Artist Academy Challenge1
