This mini-series “The Artist Personality Type” were originally, two long recordings. I’ve broken them up for you into multiple episodes that focus on one specific topic in this epiphany.

Part 1:

As Artist we feel happiness differently than most people! I’ve been thinking a lot about the artist personality type after hearing Alex Charfen talk about his podcast Momentum. If in your life you have had unexplainable mood swings or feel depressed when everything around, you are going well… this may answer a lot of those questions! I know it did for me and my wife. Listen to this episode and I hope it helps you.

As artist we’re all going to die doing what we love… making our work! Wouldn’t it be nice though if you didn’t have to make it to pay your bills or support your lifestyle? What happens when an artist has to or wants to retire? This is something that a lot of us don’t start thinking about until it’s far too late! I hope this episode helps frame it in your mind and gives you some things to think about moving forward. I for one don’t want to be grinding my whole life, or until my kids put me down for that eternal dirt nap! How about you?

Memories are hard! Mainly because they are the past. We grow and learn every minute of every day. This makes a lot of our memories old and often wrong. They were created with older information, old thoughts, world views, beliefs, and ideals. Some of us even hold memories, often negative from when we were kids, which is goofy because our brains are so far from formed it’s not funny. Listen to this episode and see if you too want or need to rethink some of your memories. You may just be carrying around empty baggage. I know I was! Oh yeah, it’s ok to put it down! I give you permission!

Learning is supposed to be fun! We all learn far better when we are interested in the material or the way it’s presented. I’m not talking about traditional school system stuff here. I’m talking about being a lifelong learner! What it takes and how to get better at gathering information! If you want to grow as an artist, business owner, person, partner, ANYTHING, start finding how you like to learn and absorb information. Once you know that you can apply that info to things you don’t want to learn. This will make you unstoppable!

We have all had customers walk away from a deal, most of the time this sucks. I don’t know about you, but I used to take this personally! I’d get angry, second-guess myself, think I did something wrong, and I try to figure it out. Was it my price? Was it what I said? Was it that I didn’t know enough about the product? The list goes on! I started to realize that it wasn’t me at all! It was and always had been, the customer. It’s hard to remember that everyone is living their own lives with their own thoughts, and their own feelings. We all need to remember this fact and stop trying to TAKE the blame for everything that doesn’t work out in our favor. Sometimes it is our fault, though I’m willing to bet, it’s far less of the time than we all think! Listen to this episode and you’ll understand what I mean and learn how to reframe how you’re thinking about this! Let’s ALL stop carrying the burden of something that was never there to start!

As people we all feel overwhelmed from time to time, right? As an artist, I know I have felt this more than others, and as a business owner and entrepreneur EVEN MORE! These overwhelming feelings we have are just that, feelings. More than that they are all in our heads! If this is true why then do so many of us except these feelings and thoughts instead of trying to control them or better yet change them! in my past I felt overwhelmed A LOT, though I never let it stop me from moving down the path. After a decade of fighting and ignoring my feelings of overwhelm I learned some tricks to overcome 99% of these feelings! I hope this episode and the tips in it, help you beat your feelings of overwhelm!

What if we could improve our memory skills on the things that matter? How would you use this to your benefit?

Learning is something that we all do, right?! Have you ever stopped to think about; how we as people file and recall the information we gather over our lives? I’ve thought about this a lot in my life, mainly because I have always been able to recall obscure information. It comes down to the things we use and associate as memory triggers. Listen to this episode and hopefully you can start looking at learning a little differently.

Do you remember the day you realized you needed to start sourcing better information? This was a huge turning point in my life. Realizing that you’re not bound by anything and free to create your own path is AMAZING! I hope this episode encourages you to start or keep looking for the best information you can find!

S2 Ep2 Why Do We Not Want to Learn to Sell?

These are the facts: to stay in business, we NEED to make money and that means we HAVE to sell our products! That’s what makes it so A) you have a business and not a money sucking open wound and B) keeps the doors open, the lights on, and you fed! We all as a whole, need to embrace the SELLING end of our businesses! Being an art-based business is trickier then most because we need to have a firm grip on what, how, and how long were making a given piece. This episode goes into the thought processes of selling and how it can help you achieve more in your art-based business.

Listen to this episode and you’ll see what I mean!
