Thank you, Alyson and Cynthia! I have long been trying to understand this issue. Bad case of a million directions. But between your great approach and an overdue chat with a dear artist friend, I’m seeing the light. My friend’s an artist, actor, novelist, playwright, film maker, screenwriter and director. Talented, successful, happy, passionate, and prolific in each of his mediums. I seriously thought he was Superman. I finally asked him how he does it, and it was like you said: simple, one at a time, highly focused. His next project is ready for him when he’s done. Without having to rush. I mistakenly assumed that if I didn’t try to capture 3 or 4 at once, I’d miss the window. It’s such a pleasure to know a better way.
Thank you again !

Eek! Recognised myself as one of those people who gets tempted by a new idea when they should be focussing on finishing the current one! Will remember to double check with myself at those potential-crisis moments in a project – for me normally in the middle of a project as well as when nearing the end.
I’d love your input on how to balance the idea of ‘focussing on one thing’ with all the different areas of our creative life/business we have to keep alive (making work, blogging, marketing, teaching/coaching etc.)?

Is that a rhetorical question, Susan? It’s a great one!

Hello to both Alyson and Cynthia! Thank you for this wonderful podcast and all this great content on the website! I have found your website yesterday and since then I can’t stop reading!

I am at the beggining of my art career. Recently I figured out that my job as Ing in Landscape architecture is not a fit at all and I have to persue my crazy childhood dream to be a fulltime artist. Since then I am worried about the future and I am afraid of failure but I have already achieved many of my goals and I would have to achieve this one as well. I have thousand ideas but it seems like I have time just for one of them.
It is that as an adult (I am 28) I must know what is right for me and no one could answer any questions. I have always been painting but the marketing thing is new for me. I made one sale and two commisions just from facebook recently with very little promotion, but one of them didn’t pay me… so annoying. However I am very grateful for people like you, who give me hope that this proffesion is not all about luck.
