My artwork had just started making it into shops when this pandemic kicked off. I was able to stay positive for several weeks continuing to create. Recently things changed nothing selling feelings of failure. Stopped producing. Ty for that bit. It was useful and ironic amidst these times. Helped shine different light on things. And possibility it's right around the corner

Hey Rich. The pandemic has forced many of us tho start to think differently. I'm sorry its made it challenging to stay positive - I totally get it. I also believe it makes art and artists more important than ever. Art is an act of imagination and imagination is what will help us find our way forward.

With shops down and out, are you looking for ways to sell it yourself?

Would you like help? Maybe a free roadmap session and we can join creative and imaginary forces :) Please consider it. No pressure.

Thanks for this. Years ago I completed an ecological footprint analysis of my community and did a lot of presentations. People were excited for a while but not much change happened. It's still a great tool, but now I want to add the internal piece--how our inner state impacts the earth. And now I want to make some money too (I wasn't charging anything before)! Maybe I can lead with the ecofootprint and segway into the consciousness footprint? The ecofootprint and outer sustainability are also more in my comfort zone. Start there and expand inward!??

First, thanks for adding your voice to the conversation. I just got off the phone with a friend and that's exactly what we were talking about. The question we were asking as it pertained to their work was - Is it best to lead with the outer content and show up with the inner, or the other way around?

My answer was - it depends on the audience and what they want.

For years, I led with the inner work and I found it challenging to sell because I wasn't able to connect it with external problems and results. Now, I lead with the external problem - growing a business. But always includes internal identity work. It's been much easier to get my work out there since Ive made the switch.
