Happy New Year! In case you did not achieve your goals last year or are not feeling as confident about your ability to become successful this New Year, I've created a new Design & Shine podcast episode to help you get into a more empowered and positive mindset. In this episode, I share my beliefs about what it REALLY takes to become a successful surface pattern designer and artist:

• What successful people have in common that helps them become and stay successful despite setbacks and hardship
• What people who fail have in common
• Questions to ask yourself that can help you continue working even when things go wrong in every way possible
• The number one trait that you need to have in order to become successful
• How to deal with failure, pick yourself back up from it, and keep going! (and details or exactly what I do when I fail at something!)

Listen to this episode if you want to make this New Year a better year for your surface pattern design business as well as your mental health as an aspiring artist!
