Summary

Goal setting is an important part of any artistic journey. However, we often think goals are about achieving the thing and getting to the end rather than treasuring the gold that can be found along the way. On this episode, I want to share how setting goals is the way to mastery and how missed goals can be the path to creating the art practice of your dreams.

[0:01] The real power of goals

0:00.0	Hello everybody welcome to another episode of the savvy painter podcast we are talking about
0:07.2	goals today setting goals and some of the things that we have learned along the way. So let's just jump right in,
0:15.9	shall we? I think goals are a way to growth and mastery. And I notice that we usually think that setting goals is about getting to the end
0:27.2	and having the thing having that goal done having whatever it is that you're trying to
0:32.0	achieve and what I want to propose in this episode done having whatever it is that you're trying to achieve.
0:33.0	And what I want to propose in this episode

0:45.1	the art practice of your dreams. So the goal that you set could be creating money,

0:55.9	daily schedule like creating and sticking to your schedule for example, or writing a grant

1:30.5	So think about that for a second.
1:32.4	There you are in your studio. You're all cozy and comfortable in your zone painting away and then there's a trigger. A desire is awakened and maybe the trigger comes from inside of you like you want something more or you want to get a different result
1:49.4	Maybe you saw something and that inspired you to try something different, but you kind of just want to see what is possible for you.
1:59.0	Maybe the trigger comes from outside, right? Maybe it's somebody challenges you. For example, I just
2:06.3	issued a challenge in Growth Studio to my Growth Studio members and the
2:10.6	challenge was can you create $500 with your art in your art practice in the next week, right?
