So yesterday I talked to a really good artist friend of mine. I told him that I felt unmotivated, unfocused and/or discouraged. He told me that I need to:
- surround myself with people who are doing what I’m doing
- be consistent, create a routine
- take what I’m doing to the next level
This is all so true. What I’m doing is what I want to do, I just need to really step out and connect with more people and elevate my business.
So here are some ways that I can implement his advice into my life.
- surround myself with people who are doing what I’m doing:
Look on Craig’s list for events , artist meetups and groups, join a group on meetup.com, go to art and craft fairs in my area, join etsy groups and be a part of forums. Just be out more and let people know what I’m doing and show genuine interest in what they do and follow up with them to keep a relationship going.
- be consistent, create a routine:
Set specific goals/ to dos and follow them. For example, blog at least once a week and work on something business related for at least an hour a day.
- take what I’m doing to the next level:
By doing the above two things I know that I can elevate my business/passion. Whenever an opportunity comes my way I’ll be ready for it and confident enough to talk about what I do.
It was a really great conversation, it’s always good to have a friend who can throw you back on track.
