For the entirety of my professional life that I have just been able to wing it as opportunities arise. I haven’t been doing things in a very professional way and I’m going through a rather confusing time in my life as it is in dealing with some pretty serious health issues that affect my ability it appears to organize and focus on tasks that are outside of my direct interest. My experience at tracking has been hit and miss at best and I may need a professional assistant of some sort.

Saying No is HUGE. If you can set those boundaries, you can change the world.

It’s so cool that you and Pamela are art buddies. And from such a distance! And I’m thrilled that I’ve met you both in person at two different workshops.
Everyone should have an art-biz buddy!

Angeline-Marie: Are your fears about the gallery closing well founded? Or are you creating the fear?

You can only do what you can. And only you know what your priorities are.

This is a wonderful Boo! 🙂 and a great reminder to be ready. To say “no” is, probably, the hardest part for me…. and this is the area I need to work on and, probably, another topic too 🙂 Great post! Thank you, Alyson! :-)))

Thanks Alyson for such a timely topic. You asked, “Is your mailing list in shape?” Not yet, but it’s getting there. My art buddy Pamela and I just talked about that on our weekly call to each other. We promised to prayerfully spend 2.5 hours inputting into our database and hold each other to the fire if we don’t. I hope that by the next time this question comes up–we’ll have helped each other get it done.

What I fear is never living my dream of being an artist. I wake up daily and think what I can do artfully today? What can I do to push my dreams forward?
My biggest fear, right now, is that the gallery that wants to show my work next year will close well before that. Oh, well. Next!
