I love working with my clients. Because ya know what?! It's brave to have a creative dream! It's brave to step up and articulate that you wanna do something, even if you don't fully know what that something is going to look like yet. It's even braver to admit you need help. Because the dream is worth it.One of my favorite things to weave into my strategy sessions with my clients is mindset. When you work out a strategy and a plan of action, it doesn't matter if you have the exact "formula" for your creative project. It doesn't matter if you are acting out exactly what has made every other creative project fly...if you're mindset is off. Shifting your mindset is the most powerful step you can take in the direction of your creative dreams.You can have all of the tools. Invest all of the money into the "right stuff" or the "right PR", but if you don't have your mind pointed in the right direction, you will never reach fruition of your project or the culmination of your creative dreams in their fullest form. There is one major mindset mistake that creatives make on a regular basis and one tiny shift can make all the difference.Most creatives are focusing their energy on running away from failure.We are so scared to fail, that in all of our energy and movement, we are seeking to just simply try not to fail. The problem with that is it completely changes your energy. When you shift your energy in the direction of forward momentum towards your dream, you are moving towards hope, which is from a place of positivity.The simple shift colors every single choice you make. You do not want to color your creative project with undertones of fear and failure. You want to color it with hope, light, positivity, and forward momentum. All of those attributes give you more of the conditions for the potential success of your creative dreams! Fear does not give you the conditions to create success. I'm not saying that you should obliterate fear or that you should be completely fearless. I feel fear regularly. I use it as a guide. I know my pursuits must be important to me if I'm feeling a little scared. I use it as an opportunity to shift. Art Nurture is about being fully alive and living life with the soul of an artist. A life filled with passion, intention, and purpose. Thanks so much for your time and your presence.
