Shared Messages from the Universe

It is my belief that messages from the universe speak to me and remind me of something that is inside of me. When I first see them, I often don't even know what is really being advertised. Instead, the message conjures emotions or thoughts relating to something that is going on within me; in my heart, in my mind, in my soul. I see them on billboards, in magazines, store windows, church plaques...everywhere. I secretly call them soul whispers.


The messages are all around us
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These 3 little words made me grin when I walked past them the other day. You see, I like to plan, I like to know where I am going, what I am going to do...except when I am creating.

Don't get me wrong, I may still have a destination in mind or a plan of what I am creating but I do not step by step plan out what I am making.

So, to make a plan for my creative business seems a little overwhelming. To think about what I want to sell, why I want to have a creative business, to whom I am going to sell and how I am going to make it all happen seems, honestly, well...overwhelming is an understatement. And, to try and do it all while I still have a more than full time day job - I just might be downright crazy.

But, that is what I am doing. Making a plan, figuring out the logistics...reviewing photos to see what I should offer as prints. What else besides prints can I make with my photos? If I was to offer an e-course (photography) what would it look like, what would the content be, how would I run...would anyone really take it?

Well, I am happy to say that I am making a plan. It may take me a few months to make the plan, to outline, write it out, figure out the logistics, figure out packaging, shipping, where to print.. And, yes, it is overwhelming.

But, I am also so excited. So, if you have something that really want to do...something that your heart and soul is being called to do...make a plan. Make it happen! The world deserves to share in your art and creativity!

  2. Go you! I need a better plan than the one I came up with... have sold exactly zero prints. :) I'll probably take Liv's class on creative business. You?

  3. Seems like such a simple idea, huh? So why is it so very hard to do?
