Thought of the day – The Artist Market Co.

I’m convinced: a completed to-do list is not a real thing. While part of me mourns that, the other part of me finds it pretty freeing.⁣
⁣
Right now I have 5 more things I want to do in the next 30 minutes. It’s not possible. ⁣
⁣
If I do things like I’ve always done them, I would put it on my list for tomorrow. That would just add to the things I have to do tomorrow and the list will grow and grow. ⁣
⁣
Gross.⁣
⁣
When I acknowledge it’s not possible to complete everything, it changes the way I act. I have to decide to…⁣
⁣
>> Cross it off and be ok with just not doing it⁣
>> Ask someone to help me⁣
>> Re-evaluate what’s on the list tomorrow when my decision making abilities are fresher⁣
⁣
Just by simply acknowledging it, I can let myself off the hook. I don’t push myself to the brink of exhaustion trying, and more ends up getting done because of it.⁣
⁣
How do you manage your list when it gets too long?

I mentor intuitive visual artists who are sick of one-size-fits all formulas sell more work, more consistently, at higher prices — with better work/life balance. My clients regularly make 3x more in art sales within a year.

Using my signature Consistent Income method, we’ll push you over the precipice of some really amazing growth so you can become the creator of your next chapter.

My secret sauce is that we focus on not just the "doing", but also the "being". Affirmations, trusting yourself, knowing when to go slow and when to go fast, practicing getting out of your comfort zone and making room for the feelings that go with that... all this is equally as important as the action steps.

For once, you'll be ahead of the game and understand what's right for you.
