In the Studio

Part of the mundane housekeeping issues in the studio is goal setting – this year I am simplifying my life and not creating a huge to-do list or even a detailed plan. I am going to work from a simple, clear life plan. Yes, life not work!

1. Blogging as a means to talk with my clients like I would if they were standing in the studio – so hello!
2. Spend more time developing relationships with new clients and deepening the existing ones; and be bolder about asking for referrals – know anyone I would like to meet?
3. And most importantly of all, to be more present: with my family, friends, and clients. This means that I will be taking time to focus independently on each task in front of me and not trying to multi-task my way through with a half-assed attention span.

Sounds simple right?

We’ll see. For now it seems to be working. I call my mom, aunt or text my daughter (she doesn’t always like to talk ;-)) every day, and talk to my friends – this is easy, since I love them all! I contact at least one person every day that has been gracious enough to be interested in my artwork, and ask if there is anything I can do for them. And I make sure I am in the studio for part of the day (new work photos coming soon!), even if it is for only an hour.

What are you doing to make your goals a reality?
