Creating a (start-up ) Art-up culture

Some days, I genuinely wonder why I put myself through this torture of being an  artrepreneur , and then I tell myself that in order to be happy, my road to self-actualization involves creating legacy, and the path to impact is tortuous. The truth is that its what makes me happy i might not be the most wealthiest artist or business owner but my time will come , you see unhappy people are less creative, productive and more likely to be unlucky. I frequently ask people to share with me the first image that comes to mind when I say "happy moment." This could be reading a book in a coffee shop(my favorite starbucks), a good conversation with a close friend or a challenging run at the gym or whatever . I then ask the question: "How many times per week do you have happy moments?" MAN!  I am shocked to hear that more often than not, people tell me they can't remember the last time they had one of those! WTF i have happy moments  all the time !  I believe----that successful art-ups  or start-ups have happy people, which is a requirement for happy customers . Creating a Art -up (start-up ) culture in which happiness is a core value is very important IT IS THE MOST FREAKIN IMPORTANT PART!  being happy . What's the worst that could happen, anyway? You might fail to launch a product, nobody like your new artwork, you get no hits on your website etc.  but you will still walk away with happiness--it's not so scary after all.

Take the risk- accept your failures- learn from the experience and start all over till YA! make it!

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE PERFECT . (or to do pretty much anything.)

What I’ve discovered is that this “thinking everything needs to be perfect before you start” concept, is really just a MASK for someone’s fear. Thats why art is so perfect cuz the important thing is to start.........

It’s really just a mask for their fear of failure, fear of inadequacy, fear of putting themselves out there, fear of what others will think of them. FEAR.

So… in essence it’s complete B.S. When you think like this, you don’t really care that it’s “perfect”, you’re just coming up with an excuse for why you don’t need to face your fear.

Think about that. It’s life changing.

Because if you really want to move forward fast… you will go INTO your resistance. If you find something challenges you… you go INTO it. Not the opposite like most people, who run away.

If you’re afraid to get started because you feel “you don’t know enough yet”… that’s an EXACT sign you should go get started. It’s an exact sign you should go get started RIGHT NOW & just take some action.

I don’t care what it is… calling prospects, putting up ads, making videos, writing blog posts, 3-way calling…

… if you feel you aren’t “ready” to get started, that is the EXACT sign you need to get started right now.
