Setting Goals
How could I possibly do that? What did it even mean? I was stumped.
Then I became a requirements engineer and project manager at a large software company. I learned some great tools, but they felt very corporate.
I craved something more creative for my art career, and so I began investigating mindsets and coaching.
By combining the best from both the right and left brain, I’ve come up with a system that helps me set and achieve my art goals on a consistent basis year after year.
You can see examples of my success with these techniques when I review my 100 Accomplishments at the end of each year: 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
Course Description
“People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.” ~Earl Nightingale
In this workshop I will walk you through a fun process for identifying your vision for your art career, whether that be selling, exhibiting or creating the best artwork you possibly can (no dream is too small, no dream is too large).
From this vision, you’ll start working backwards to identify a set of long term goals that will move you in the direction of your dreams.
Short term goals are derived through a process of breaking down your vision into smaller and smaller tasks. We’ll reach the level of a daily todo list where you will find small actionable steps that are super easy to execute upon.
During workshops and lectures we’ll uncover the mindsets, tricks and tools that will lead you to success.
Through the assignments you will get hands on experience with setting your own goals and I’ll provide feedback as needed to help you create a system that is customized to meet your unique working methods.
Class discussions will help broaden everyone’s knowledge as we share techniques that work for us.
Because our dreams can be fragile if we share them publicly, student homework is not shared with the class, but instead kept in private work areas within the class website. Only you and I will be able to read your specific goals.
Are you ready to start 2013 with a plan for success?
