The Law of Attraction is always at work. Some have accepted this fact and are applying it's power to their lives to live happier and more abundantly. Other's completely reject the idea.

But there are also those who put in great amounts of effort to make use of the Law of Attraction, but are not quite seeing the results.

Here is a major piece that could fill the missing part of your puzzle.

From Strategic Possibilities Podcast Episode 127 of the same name.

If you want more money, opportunities, abundance, wealth, happiness, and more in 2022 and beyond, watch this video.

These are three books that can help improve your wealth consciousness and your life forever.

Wealth consciousness isn't just about believing you can make more money. It's about the beliefs themselves. It's about being consciously aware of your own thoughts, beliefs, abilities, value, and more as it relates to attaining more money and happiness.

And beyond this simplification, these three amazing books take your wealth consciousness to new levels of awareness.

Blockchain technologies have opened incredible opportunities for artists and you can choose to get involved or completely ignore (if you can).

In this video, I simplify many ideas around blockchain and NFTs to include:

Why it's pointless to let the fear of controversy keep you from getting involved.

An easy way to understand what blockchain is and how it works.

How blockchain is creating opportunities for artists everywhere.

How the internet and social media has brought us to the point that we almost devalue art.

Why NFTs are so revolutionary.

And more thoughts that can help you on your journey as an artist.

After completing the #4x4x48challenge (run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours) I spent a lot of time reflecting.

What was it that motivated me to finish?

I also considered the thoughts of self-doubt, insecurity, and absolutely weak thoughts I would not share with people. But at some level, I knew those same thoughts are the ones that also prevent me (and possibly many people) from going after the things they want to achieve.

4x4x48 was a tough one for me, but I also realize it's not the hardest thing on the planet. And the thing that helped to push me through was accepting that it was doable and achieveable.

The physical discomforts were annoying, but the biggest obstacle was the constant repetition of ideas in my head that motivated me to fail - even before starting.

Here's some lessons learned.

Part 4 of the "Digital Art Renaissance" series for Strategic Possibilities Podcast.   Having just been through COVID, many people have taken the opportunity to change their careers. On top of that, internet and social media provides so many new opportunities from moonlighting podcasters who grow from their closets to stories like Dawn Spears' who started her career in Science and Tech and eventually transitioned into the Book Illustration space.  In this episode, Dawn reveals her advice and tips for those looking to break into book illustration. But she also shares how certain life situations essentially forced her to learn new technology. Throughout the episode, she shares interesting insight into her creative habits, how she prefers to tackle opportunities to learn head on, as well as some specific tips on how you can get started or grow a career as a book illustrator.  With that, Dawn wanted to introduce herself directly:  Bio from Dawn: I am a freelance illustrator and 3D modeler based in the UK. I also have a background in science and software development. I've illustrated for many clients, including book publishers, independent authors, retail businesses, and interiors.  I use mainly Photoshop for illustration. ZBrush for 3D modelling and Daz Studio or Unreal Engine for adding rendered material to illustrations where necessary.  You can find Dawn's work online via: www.dawnydawny.com www.mythicstock.com https://dawnspears.artstation.com/

In this episode of our "Digital Art Renaissance" series, Concept Artist Omar Siddiqui shares the story of how he was discovered for his first commissioned artworks through social media. Omar guides us on his journey from his first posts 10+ years ago to how he changed his art process, and what it took to get his skills to the next level.  Throughout this episode, Omar discusses not just the value of posting on social media which led to his first paid commissions, but also some of the ways to "get over yourself" and simply start sharing. We also discuss the huge transition happening between 2D and 3D and what that might mean for future artists.  On top of that, Omar shares some incredibly helpful tips (things that worked for him) on adapting to change. With so many new tools and trends coming out all the time, it can be overwhelming for digital artists to have to constantly learn something new. In fact, Omar had to completely change his art style after 11 years just so he could have relevant industry skills. And beyond developing new art skills, Omar shares why sometimes it can be easy to feel stuck when learning new technology, then explains why goal setting can help you overcome those challenges.  Omar Siddiqui is an Environment Concept Artist with experience in 2D and 3D concepts.
