“You can’t TRY to do things, you must simply DO them.” – Ray Bradbury

Print available on Storenvy.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking any of these things?

“I want to try social media, but I don’t know the first thing about it.”

“I know I should build a website, but it’s just so hard.”

“How in the world am I supposed to build an email list? It sounds like a lot of work.”

You’ve attempted to build your art business, but you just can’t seem to get it right. You’ve dabbled with so many different strategies, but nothing seems to work. Why is that?

It’s because you spend too much time trying and not enough time doing. What does that even mean?

It means you give up too easily. Stop testing things out for a week and giving up when things don’t go right. Most things won’t work right away. Everything takes time. You have to experiment and see what works.

It means you often hold yourself back. Stop making excuses for why you haven’t succeeded. Figure out what the problem is and tackle it head on. If there are obstacles in your way, find a way around them.

It means stop hoping for success. Instead of hoping and praying for people to discover you, seek people out. Being discovered is a myth. Success and notoriety are the result of, hard, deliberate work.

If you want to do something, then do it. Be intentional with everything you do and take accountability for yourself.
