Put In Your Best Effort

At certain times of when no matter how hard you work it falls apart. You have to roll with the punches. Learn the most you can where you are and the mistakes made. I have had my far share of mistakes. It is ok to make mistakes, just be open to taking ownership of yourself in good and bad. People have to understand there are high and low points for a reason. The honest test is to test who we are and the process of going through challenges.

One thing I learned is to not expect everyone to support me. It is not a good idea to wait for support when you have to build it up and over time you will have the long term support you seek. Too many people are focused on what can they receive vs. what can they give. The producer mentality is superior to the consumer mentality. North american made a huge mistake in thinking we are so much further ahead of other countries to then become relaxed in allowing other countries to surpass the usa. I know with all of us working together we can become a much better society and start being a producer instead of only a consumer.

Choose To Be With Quality People

Those are driven, willing to help people as muchas they can are those who you want to be in your circle. At the same time choose to be the one who is willing to help others as much as you can. Years later, after you are remembered by the service and or helping another person, it will come back. Either way, it is the character in which matters. Choose to model the person you want to be around. Those quality people will arrive in your life in due time.

Earlier today, I was talking to this young man and said to him. Make sure you take great care of your clients, expecially new clients. Never be stingy or even give the sense of being stingy. If the client feels this way, this will be their one and only transaction with you. Show you honestly care about who you are taking care of. People can see it a mile away if you are being real or don’t back it up. Only say what you are willing to back up. You want the trust to build over time. It takes years of work to build the trust and ruining it in a certain is not worth it. In a bad situation, with your client if you don’t take the time to fix it the best you can, your client will tell everyone else. You want to give your best every time.

Build Your Belief In Yourself

Too many people like to always have the approval of everyone else before accepting their self. If everyone in the world waited on the approval of all of the world nothing would have gotten accomplished. The self lmitin beliefs run so strong this year by year and people wonder why things haven’t been accomplished. isThe subconscious mind runs on autopilot and the conscience is actively uses a small percentage of the brain. The subconscious is already programmed from childhood.

The main point is to accept and love yourself where you are. You deserve to love and accept yourself enough to be self driven with valuing your opinion. Ask yourself, Am I have the right conversations with others and myself day in and day out? Why not build yourself up. I have to push myself to keep on going however I understand people need what I have to offfer in this hurting world who needs healing and a mission to serve others. I’d like to hear your thoughts. What are you most proud of overcoming?

Don't Value People Who Write You Off

Today, I was in a networking event. First time I came and was invited by a fellow business owner,. He was not able to be there in the event. I went to expand my network. Normally for visual artists the general public writes them off since they don’t see the value in what visual artists bring let along qualify to purchase art. Don’t pay attention to the people who write you off and reject you. Side with those who are open and willing to support your mission and give back.

Another is as an visual artist, people think we are giving everything away for free. We are not here for charity or even giving everything away. Everything has a cost. If you go to any store, they will not let you have everything for free. Why should any artist give away all of the hours, money, and energy to have it all gone. Yes, There is a time to give back, however this is on your own terms without being asked. I do enjoy giving just not the art I have put years of work to be where I am now,. The moral of the story is stay with those who value you and your story. The people who write you off are not those who you are want in your life., Those who helpk you grow and expand in all aspects are golden and gladly replenish it toward them and their life.

A Look At Last My Former Self

Have you ever thought about your actions and thoughts in your past and cringed at who you were at the time? The thought has came across my mind. The process happens over time. Changed and shifting into the person you see yourself as is just as crucial to who you are right now. Everyone who has attempted in going toward their dream such as a business, no matter if you are an entrepreneur, an artist, business owner, investor, etc, will fail at sometime. Many people look at artists and ask where is the money and how much money are you making? The right question is what are you doing to be successful such as work, connections, and long term clients.

Only doing a job is small compared to having a operating a business 24-7. Even for those who are working 6 or 7 days a week, it is going to take more energy and time then is honestly recognized, until, each person has been there personally. In everything, there is always a risk. Having a job, you can be fired at any moment, your company or business can easily shut down without any prior notice. The same with a business except you are the one who is in charge 24 - 7. Having this freedom comes with large responsibilities.

Be careful who you listen to since most of the time, they have no real interest in you or your business. Build relationships with those who are willing to support each others business. I enjoy help fellow businesses come up with ideas to honestly help them in their target market. Having the challenge to help others is what I like to do. In the same respect others have come to brainstorm together.

I want to say thank you to the people who have been there with me all these years. I appreciate your support from all sides.

Capturing (Now)

Focusing on the past and the future has the largest piece we have to see in front of us. Yes, there is a time to see yourself in a different place however working on the now is where things honestly shift. Thinking about why my collectors purchase the work I have, I see the work I do as the piece of a memory they remember and want to hold onto or to the memory they want to create.

Capturing now is the building blocks of where we have to be in order to enjoy the now. If we don’t enjoy the now what do we have now or in the future looking upon it? Tell everyone how thankful you are for who they are and what they have done for you on their own choice. Offer to help them in their time of need. You were once in their shoes. Value the time you spend with your loved ones since you never know when it could be your last. Stay around the people who value you and what you have to offer instead of those who don’t believe in you or their own selves. It will rub off. Capture today and each day.

Show Who You Are

For many people, they like to keep their personality to their self. In choosing to do this, the opportunities to really be yourself is lost in those certain moments. The act of asking the questions to yourself, What is this worth to me in the long run? Do I choose to hold everything in, and feel stuck or do I choose to be who I am in the natural flow? Every day we have to make a right decision.

In deciding to be ourselves, the doors open to bein much happier knowing you are the person you see yourself as. No one wants to feel trapped at any age. By quietly listening to yourself, the answers will come on in your own timing and terms. I was afraid to be myself for many years and had so many blockages through negative self limiting beliefs. Making myself and others feel significant is essential to a part of living a better fulfilled life. Choose to do this today, and every day from now on. You don’t know when your last day will be. There is no guarantee for tommorrow or even next year. Make it count now.

Significance We All Seek

As I go through and ask the question from the collector’s mind in who purchases my art, I can see they want to feel powerful and significant. Being in their last part of their life, a legacy is where they want to live a happier and more fulfilled life. For the small time in which is precious, their time wants to be cherished.

Many people have so many regrets. Having clarity, the right message will help guide them in the right direction in previously had so much self limiting beliefs never would have went for their best life. The past influences kept on holding and beating them down instead of saying, Yes, In saying Yes, to what invaluble time you have left to give, build their own influence on others is more valuable then what any physical possessions they have worked decades to have in hand. The question is, What is the dream and desire you have wanted and wished you could have done years to decades ago?

Build Your Self Belief/Self-Worth

From day to day too people like push everyone into a label when as we all know, you are more then just what you do day in and day out. There will always be noise in the background. Clear it out of your mind. Why should you let the noise affect you when you have a gift to develop. With so much to do and accomplish knock one thing out at a time and or hire others to help you. Stay calm and focused no matter how challenging it is.

At the same time, listen to those who value you, are here to help you grow where you are at. Having the decernment is critical in knowing where to apply. The right questions you ask yourself. Realize the drive you have in your inner self is the foundation of yourself. Why not take time each day in morning by getting up early to dedicate to your happiness. By getting up early, everyone else is not awake and you will have the focus with peace and quiet you strive. Yes it will be challenging, however with discipline you will be grateful in time to work on your goals. Your time is precious and worth more then any amount of money. Make it worth while for you and all who are surrounding.

A Time To Complete What You've Always Wanted To

The question of “When am I going to make the time to do this'?’ Many people have this question since we live in a ever so busy world of work. For one, there has to a underlying reason why do we want to either work on it and or complete the task.at hand. Make it a goal to use work on it the first thing in the morning before your day starts. Get up early intentionally before anyone else to have your quiet time. Yes, at first it will seem like a large challenge to get up however the discipline has to be there. You will be thanking yourself later on.

By working on what you have wanted to for months, a sense of progress forms. Instead of a sense of regret from procrastination. We all have this need to want to feel we are progressing. What do you want in your life? Do you want to accomplish a certain aspect you wish you could have years ago? Take the time today to say from now on, this is my time to have my most fulfilling life ever from now on. You deserve to have a great life and be willing to put in the work to ensure your fu ture from today on. Love and accept yourself every day where you are at. Be careful in what you feed your mind with since it will reflect from you to everyone around you.
