How To Start An Art Business
Hey Artists! It’s Kristi here, and today I’m going to teach you how to start an art business. I’m so excited about this topic because there is so much I can teach you. If you're like me, when people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would tell them I wanted to be an artist. And so it was. Drawing and painting is what I’m good at. It is something that I have a unique God-given gift and talent for. Ever since I was young, if I had spare time, I wanted to be drawing and painting. How about you? Have you dreamed of having an art business, where you could do work you loved and get paid well to do it? Then you came to the right place. There are three things needed in order to have a thriving art business. First, what is something you love to do? Second, what are you great at? And third, is it something that people are willing to pay for? A lot of artists are confused about what it means to be a paid artist, so let’s start with the definition of artist: a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination. Let’s say an artist loves to draw and paint, just for the sake of creating. But if this artist is not good at it, or does not desire to get paid for it then there is no reason to start an art business. One simple way to clarify what you are good at is to ask 3-5 family members or friends what they think you're great at. You may be surprised at their insight. Now let’s say an artist loves to draw and paint, and is really good at it, but does not desire to get paid for it. Still there is no reason to start an art business because the third element is missing from the equation. Lastly, let’s say an artist loves to draw and paint, is really good at it and desires to get paid well for it. This is the scenario of an artist who should start an art business. The key factor in any art business is the desire to solve a problem for a paying customer. It’s the desire to excel at your craft and make something that others want to buy. This takes a little humility and a ton of compassion and empathy. Create something and then ask others what they would be willing to pay for it, or research others who are already selling a similar item. I was fortunate enough to have gone to a commercial art school, got my first job as a graphic artist and at the age of 26 I started my own art business called Art-N-Sign. We helped people starting a business to get noticed with a sign. We created everything from logos, to signs, to vehicle graphics. I was doing something that I loved and was great at and got paid well to do it. What type of an art business do you want to start? There are so many different options available, but let’s say you want to start an art business where you sell paintings. First, we know you love to draw and paint. Perfect. Second, are you good at it? Have you developed your style of painting? Great! What product or service will people pay you for? Here are three steps to help you start an art business: Step 1: Decide what it is you love to do. What is something you would love to jump out of bed and keep pursuing day after day? Step 2: What are you great at? What is something that you get complimented on? Don’t just shrug it off, take it seriously. It may be natural to you, but others marvel at your ability. What is it? Step 3: What are people willing to pay you for? Is your product or service excellent? What problem are you solving? Who is your ideal audience?

Tired Of Bad Bosses, Including Yourself?
If you’re tired of bad bosses including yourself, choose Jesus instead. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Do you tend to put Jesus away in the closet before leaving for work, or do you take Him with you? He has all the business answers you need regardless of the topic, so I’d like to suggest that you open your entire life up to Him and watch how you begin to excel at everything. The greatest leaders in history have been those who have followed Jesus. What are you seeking after? Income, prestige and fame or impact, anonymity, and faith. As for me and my business, we will serve the Lord! There's just no better feeling than the peace and contentment that comes from understanding that no matter what happens, good or bad, Jesus knows what to do. I don’t have be stressed, instead I can: Be blessed. Be a blessing. Be bold. Be confident. Be content. Be joyful. Be joy filled. Be kind. Be loving. Be compassionate. Be helpful. Be faithful. Be grateful. Be calm. Be considerate. Be patient. Be excited. Be passionate. Be happy. Be me. Here are the takeaways: 1 - Surrender Your Will To His Put down your pride and your will and ask Jesus for His will. 2 - Trust In Him As soon as you realize you have wandered away, whisper “I trust You Jesus.” 3 - Enjoy The Journey Celebrate all the victories and make mistakes, something to be proud of.

How To Take Hold Of This Moment
It’s fascinating how a single incident like a motorcycle crash can bring such clarity to life. Clarity on how to take hold of this moment and cherish it forever. In the past I simply did too many things at one time and didn’t enjoy many of them because by the time I was experiencing one moment, I was already planning for the next and didn’t really take hold of the present moment I was in. I mean, I wasn’t fully present at that moment. So this is your encouragement to be present in each moment. Do one thing at a time. Do an inventory and make some hard decisions to cut out activities that are just fillers. There is a lack of love and understanding in the world today because there is a lack of presence. In order for me to be grateful, bold and present, I need to abide in the presence of God. By being in His presence first then I can: Be grateful. Be present. Be bold. Be blessed. Be content. Be joyful. Be joy filled. Be kind. Be loving. Be compassionate. Be helpful. Be faithful. Be grateful. Be calm. Be considerate. Be patient. Be excited. Be passionate. Be happy. Be you. Here are the takeaways: Be Grateful Be so grateful for even the smallest things that nothing can steal my joy. Be Present Live into the present through seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling. Be Bold Take action on my dreams and make them into a reality.

I Should Be Dead. Now What?
I bet you're intrigued by this week's title called “I Should Be Dead - Now What?” Well, right now I literally should be dead. You see, one week ago today, I crashed my 2016 Harley Davidson Softail Slim motorcycle into the ditch off Highway 78. I was not wearing a helmet. It’s a story everyone warned me would happen. Well it happened and I should be dead, but instead I’m here to tell you the story, and what I learned from this deadly experience. Let me just say, God is SO good! After getting several scans and x-rays I was told I had 3 fractured ribs, a fractured C-2 vertebrae in my neck (otherwise known as the hangman's fracture) and a partially collapsed lung. They said I should be dead. The C-2 fracture is known as the hangman's fracture because it occurs when your head is forcefully snapped back and up. This is a hyperextension injury, meaning that my neck was extended beyond its normal range of motion, likened to a judicial hanging. So I am very blessed to be able to be here recording another podcast. So much so that I can’t help but ask “Now what?” I mean this was such a miraculous event I just lived through, that I can’t help but ask God, “Now what can I do for You since I’ve been given another chance to live?” I believe His simple response is “Live into and be who I created you to be.” In other words, if I didn’t worry about time, money or relationships who would I be? And if I used all the resources available to me, how could I impact the world around me? Here are three answers to the question “Now What?” Answer 1 - Love God I will love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind. Answer 2 - Love Myself Jesus suggests that I should love myself so I will love myself. Answer 3 - Love My Neighbor I will love my neighbor as myself". Jesus says that this triple commandment is God's greatest revelation of how I should act, and that everything else hangs upon it. So the way I look at it, is I’ve been given a second chance, a do over or a mulligan. This is the way Jesus taught me to impact the world. To first love God with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my mind. To love myself with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my mind. And it is only after graciously doing these two things can I then love you as I love myself. Well I hope you enjoyed this episode on “I should be dead. Now what?” I couldn’t be more on fire for Jesus than I am right now. He is the only Way. He is the absolute Truth. He is the Light in the darkness. There is so much I want you to know. I want you to know how deep and how wide and and how tall is the love of God for you. I know because even though we are all sinners, He sent His only Son Jesus to pay the ransom for our sins by dying on a cross so we can live forever with Him in eternal life, if only we believe. Now that is some radical love that I want to keep spreading. I’m here to tell you: You are loved. You are worthy. You are cherished. You are appreciated. You are respected. You are special. You are unique. You are one-of-a-kind. You are made on purpose. You are made to love. You are made to be loved. You are love. You equal love. Be loved. Beloved. Once you truly understand this, discovering a life of meaning, purpose and fulfillment will come from the inside out. The love, the knowing, the acceptance, the being, just being you is the key to creating an impact. There is no other you. Go 100% all in. Be the beautiful you God created you to be. God is counting on you!

How To Pivot To An Online Business
Learning about how to pivot to an online business is incredibly valuable in both time and money. I know learning new things can be hard and challenging, but I believe you can do it. Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it too. Give yourself permission to enjoy a life you love by creating income just by using different tools than you’re used to. Yes, it has a steep learning curve, but if you love to learn then you’ll love pivoting to an online business. Once you dive in and just do it messy, you’ll gain confidence that the next time will be even better. Don’t expect perfection or even try to make TV quality videos. Just be who God created you to be and you will be up and running. I know you have what it takes to make this a reality in your life. You are smart. You are enough. You are worthy. You can do this. You belong here. You are amazing. You are respected. You are appreciated. You have a purpose. You are here to make an impact. Here are the takeaways: In a corporate world you hustle, grind and are told what to do, how to do it and when to do it. The new mindset is the realization that the market has expanded and there is a buyer at every price. Pivoting to an online business means being visible in the online space. There is no better feeling than to work with like-minded people who are driven to create impactful change. Take a moment to brainstorm about what you now know and you will have a list of valuables to give. Email is still the best way to reach your customers using their personal email box.
