• How non-traditional paths are opening up doors in the art world.
• Why relationship building is better for the long-term success of your business, rather than the instant gratification of online sales.

Today, we're talking all about NOT letting your dreams turn into regrets. This episode was inspired by a quote I heard recently (actually, there are multiple versions floating around out there). Troy Dumnais said it this way: "you don't get old until you replace your dreams with regrets." There's a similar version of the quote by John Barrymore. Part of the mission of this podcast is to INSPIRE you to stay true to your dreams and NEVER give up on them. To NEVER let that dream turn into regrets because you're always taking inspired action.

• Why you're never too old, and it's never too late!
• You don't have to live in New York to make a living as an artist.
• How limiting beliefs are killing your dreams.

One very large conundrum is encouraging originality when teaching art. You want your students to come up with their own ideas and create their own style, but in the beginning, they don't have the skills to do so, nor have they likely figured out their own style.

As an online art teacher, I struggle with this paradox a lot. I give my students the skills they need, but I don't want them to copy me. This is a crutch for them that can be a problem in the long run. Although, I understand that in the beginning, copying a little to get a feel for their art so they can discover and learn their own style is normal. But it's a difficult balancing act.

Today, I've invited artist Flora Bowley on to The Inspiration Place Podcast to discuss this! We talk about how we feel when our students copy us and how to balance teaching the necessary skills to our students while still encouraging originality. We also share how Flora is selling and promoting her original art so you can get some good tips for how to do so with your original art.

• How do you feel about your art students copying you?
• How to balance teaching skills and encouraging originality.
• How Flora is currently selling and promoting her original art, and some tips and strategies for you.
• Mentoring for guiding your career.

Or maybe you think or have even said "I'm not ready yet..."

Today, I've invited the founder of Acuity, which is the scheduling tool I use in my business which has been a GAME changer in saving time back and forth. I actually now think that EVERYONE should use something like this whether you have a business or not as it has saved SO much time in those back and forth emails.

Now as an an artist I wish I had had this in my business 10 years ago, because I definitely lost portrait clients when the email trail went cold with through the back and forth scheduling process. I've tried other scheduling tools, but this one is the best one I've tried. It's what I use to schedule my podcast guests and when I coach artists, but I also use it anytime ANYONE wants to schedule a quick phone call, lunch or anything like that with me.

• Why you need to schedule appointments with collectors or clients
• An easier way to manage student registrations for your classes
• How scheduling software saves you time

How can art help heal people from trauma? Susan Greif interprets drawings to help her clients form a healthier relationship with themselves and in turn a healthier relationship with others. I recently heard Susan speak at a speaker salon and was inspired by her message and her work with the children of holocaust survivors. She believes that art makes thoughts and emotions more perceptible so we can actually see our subconscious. Then we can understand what keeps us stuck and make shifts in our lives.

I notice in my students that their personalities are in their art. If they paint very tightly it's usually because they're uptight about something. We talk about what art can tells us about a person, her process of working with a client and why art can reveal things that talking won't.
