goal setting for artists

Last few days to save on The Goal Wheel for Artists – Goal Setting System That Leaves Lots of Room for Creativity!

The sale price of $27 ends on Tuesday, January 31st – have you taken advantage of this deal yet?  Not only do you get an audio and transcript, you get an eBook with lots of worksheets to print out and use as well as “Goal Mail” every month for the next 12 months to keep you on track.  I created The Goal Wheel for Artists™ because I needed a better way – it works for me and I think it can work for you too.

I want you to be successful too – and that’s why I’m offering the eBook and audio replay for $27 – that’s more than half-off!

Start 2012 off with a defined plan to achieve your goals – The Goal Wheel for Artists is more than half-off in January!

Yup!  It’s that time of year again… the beginning of a brand new year.  Clean slate.  A time when many people look back at what worked and what could be improved from the last year and look forward to what they want to create and achieve in the coming year.

2011 was pretty life-altering for me in many ways.  I got engaged (and yes – I told many people I would NEVER get married again so the old saying, “Never say never…”? I’m a believer!)  My fiance and I bought a house that we are doing some serious remodeling on.  The college search is in full-swing for my son who will graduate in 2012 – this year!  My brother had twins – big surprise there!  You get the idea…

So now I’m turning my attention forward to 2012 – what do I want to do, be and have in my life in the coming year?  And how will I stay focused longer than the average person who makes a resolution to “get to the gym more” each and every New Year’s Eve?

I will be using The Goal Wheel for Artists to help me stay on track for my business, home renovations, college process and some misc personal wishes.

I know that this goal setting system works – I designed it and I use it.  I took things that worked for me from other goal setting ideas I’ve learned and tried along the way and kept what worked.  It’s not too hard.  It’s easy to feel good about yourself even if you don’t quite hit every milestone you set for yourself during a given month – that’s the key you know, to feel good.

I want you to be successful too – and that’s why I’m offering the eBook and audio replay for $27 – that’s more than half-off!

When it comes to your art business, be like Super Mario!

I’ve been going down memory lane lately… my 25th high school reunion will be this November and I’m in charge of our reunion Facebook page.  Each Friday I come up with some topic to chime in on relating to high school – from food to fashion to … video games.  While telling my son how PacMan was all the rage in the early 80′s – and not the kind on your tv, the kind you had to head to the arcade or pizza shop to play, we got onto a discussion of video games.

He loved Super Mario when he was little and my brain started thinking about this little man in the funny hat that happily moved forward through all kinds of trials and tribulations.  Jumping on mushrooms to earn points, battling monsters and kissing princesses… through it all, he was a man of action, ever pushing forward towards his goal.

So I ask you – do you resemble Super Mario when it comes to working on your art business or are you a dreamer but not a doer?

It takes a lot of work to be successful in any kind of business – you have to do something every day, you have to stay the course, overcome obstacles and keep your eye on the prize!  So today, I say, Let’s all be like Mario!


Here’s to your creative success!  What actions will you take today to move you closer to your dreams?

Tune into Creative Mojo with Mark Lipinski this Wednesday afternoon!

This Wednesday, June 22nd, I will be on the air *live* with the fun and fantastic Mark Lipinski!  His radio show – Creative Mojo – airs on Toginet Radio every Wednesday afternoon.  Here is what they say about the show:

CREATIVE MOJO WITH MARK LIPINSKI is a live, two-hour entertainment program broadcast on the Internet. It’s fun, entertaining, informative, inspirational and illuminating.

I’ll be talking with Mark about Goal Setting – why many creatives don’t like it and the system I created to make it more manageable.  I created The Goal Wheel for Artists at a time when I was feeling like I was moving in circles and knew there had to be a better way!  Come on over and join the fun!

Listen live online at: toginet.com/shows/creativemojo 3-5 pm Eastern / 12-2 pm Pacific

Hey artist, what’s your plan?

As time seems to pass very quickly for me in the weeks and days leading up to SURTEX, I get very focused getting ready for the show.  There are post-its and lists, scribbles in the car and scratch pads in the kitchen… where ever I am when an idea or “to-do” hits me, I write it down.

This is the 6th time I’ll be packing my bags and heading to New York to exhibit in May.  Over the years I’ve created some systems and master lists of things to gather and prepare.  This year, however, I’ve been using another tool and am finding it ideal for organizing the tasks at hand.  “What is this tool?” I’m glad you asked!

The Goal Wheel for Artists™

I created this goal setting system last year, as a way to organize myself and help others get focused and moving forward in their creative businesses.  Based on the color wheel – the system is designed to help you define long-term dreams which help you set shorter term goals which trickle down to tasks.

I am finding this to be a great “project” system as well.

Getting ready for a trade show should be a big deal. Not something to take lightly, throw some things in a suitcase a day before and call it good.  The investment is too high (in dollars) and the potential too great (for new business).  If you decide to exhibit it is in your best interest to prepare!

So I’ve set some goals to be completed between now and May 13th – what art I want to CREATE, plans to PROMOTE my business and my participation in the show, and time to RECHARGE so I don’t end up in New York a frazzled mess.

Whether you are planning for a trade show, special event, project or your business in general, it is good to have a system.  If you are interested in taking a look at mine, go to www.TheGoalWheelForArtists.com.

Have a VERBY New Year!

VERBS have been coming at me from several directions lately and have caused me to stop and ponder…

My teacher, Alex Mandossian, asks his students to “proclaim their verb!” I ________, therefore I am! Some verbs from that class include teach, inspire, blog, nurture… mine is create.

Then local artist and entrepreneur coach Rebecca Shapiro suggested choosing a verb to define 2010 instead of making resolutions that would more than likely be forgotten or defeated by the end of January. I love this idea! SO watch this short video and pick a verb… feel free to leave your choice in the comments to inspire others.


Here’s to a creative and verby 2010!

– Tara

P.S. If you need help getting organized and focused, don’t forget about The Goal Wheel for Artists™ eBook

P.P.S. Need clarification on what verbs are or just want to go back in time and enjoy a great School House Rock song? Here it is – VERB!


ARTISTS looking to get more focused on setting goals to build their business REJOICE!

It started in June as a teleseminar…

Then it was sold as an mp3 replay, action guide and transcript for those who missed the live call…

Now, just in time for 2010, The Goal Wheel for Artists™ is a new and improved eBook.

By an artist, for artists and any creative professional, this goal setting system will help you focus and move forward in your business, while still giving you time to work from inspiration.  Set and achieve goals that make sense, feel good and keep you motivated.  Learn to say “NO” to things that distract you from your vision so you can say “YES” to what you want.

Wishing you much success now and always!
