One of my favorite podcasts

Every week is a mini master class in mind set shifts for creative empowerment. I would listen every day if there were new episodes! It’s always soooooo good, filled with so much valuable information on improving my mindset around my belief in creative success.

Hipster works ,

I want expansion!

I just listened to the podcast about your appearance at Daydream A pothecary. Inspiring!! I have bought into the negatives I have gotten from my family about creating a successful business and apparently what I am supposed to do! The only problem is that what they say has not worked. It didn’t fit! I am a flute teacher at a local high school and while I love that business I haven't reached my own goals of interacting with people who are adults looking for art on furniture.. my clients are high school kids who I love and get to impact to BECOME!! But I want more! And I think I should be able to do more. Certainly we need my productivity in income results. But my artsy fartsy self wants more expression! Teaching others is an innate ability I have. So teaching people to add artsy furniture pieces to their lives fits my scheme! It’s a conundrum.
So while I know my talents of teaching others has to be involved, and I keep learning how to do more myself, how do I translate that and balance both? I have been blessed in teaching kids to play exceptionally well I want to expand that to the art on furnishings. The question I have is: how? Where?
Thanks!!
I listened to your podcast and am hoping you can shed light to me!
