Personal Coach for Artists - Selling Art
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
ArtNewsBlog has written an article about – “Robert Genn’s latest newsletter he is talking about personal coaches and the value that artists could gain from them”. The article talks about how Robert is not an art coach but believes in them and brings some very good, holistic thought to what artists need to look at for their own lives and productivity and heath. As an art coach I would add a few simple things to Robert Glenns wonderful list - one would be very specific about your goals - in selling art, the amount of money you want to make and the date and times that you will have your goals accomplished. Another thing is accountability – have people in your life other artists would be great and share your goals working together to hold each other accountable. For what happens to all of us is that if we are not accountable we will falter…. it is human nature – but if we are accountable to some one else that it affords us to push and get it done in a way that by our selves we would not. As an art coach I do that all the time for people, and I have accountability partners in my own life as well. I want to thank ArtNewsBlog for introducing me to Robert Glenn and than Robert for his empowering input – subscribe to his news letter below and enjoy – best Chuck
