Thanks Alyson,
Another beneficial podcast with much to ponder and implement.
I took your template and consolidated into a front and back worksheet to use monthly. Tracking more than numbers gives a much more holistic view of success. One of my new affirmations will be, “The happier I am, the more successful I am”.

Wow, loved this podcast. Success is so complicated! And it changes over time. I’m learning that I am the key to my success and it cannot be given to me by someone else. That makes me happy. And successful. Thank you so much!!

Alyson, you always know where I’m at when I get another podcast explaining where I am stalled. Just like Hurricane Dorian, i got stalled in my studio. Yes, i refined 4 paintings I had stacked up, but have done NOTHING more to get myself to look for a venue. Then, your previous Pod hit me when you described making art for sales. Ouch. I realized I was not honest with myself and my talent.
I’m in a stall, can’t get moving to get out there. I’m frustrated with myself because I have all the tools from ACSS to be a success, An inward look told me fear was keeping me back. How many others have been here? Yet I see so many of my fellow ACSS artists forging ahead, ready to defeat the dragon of self-doubt and nail a boatload of opportunities. Therefore, I look at ACSS with hope and comfort that I have a coach and others pointing the way. I’m chalking it up to a season in my life, as I never have been a quitter, I’m a learner and always move forward and will once again. I know my work is good.

I’m in the library (it’s Monday – I’m doing my desk learning & writing) and I just listened to your podcast.

I always learn from you, even after doing Inner Circle and other programs.

We artists appreciate your revamping, updating, recreating your programs (even if it is frustrating for you :)! Your work is so helpful to us! Thanks for all you do for us.

-Simonne

In reply to Sabra Lynne Crockett.

Always good to see your name here, Sabra. I do hope the ACSS lessons help inspire you. I would also suggest finding a community of artists to help keep you on track. (I am building a new community for 2020, but we still have a looser community in the ACSS for repeaters.) xoxo

Thank you for this, Alison! I’m going through a transition myself, and needed to be reminded that the journey is more important than the goal. I haven’t figured out what fear or worry I’m grappling with, and yet this is the most productive I have been in my studio. I finally have time to create the quality work I have been wanting to for a long time, and I am experimenting with new techniques. This all feels weird and vulnerable.
I promised myself I would go back to my lessons learned in The Art Career Success System starting today, because I feel a little derailed. I think I have lost focus on my goals and the big picture, because I’ve just been focused on surviving. Thank you for your guidance with getting me back on track!
