 Well, welcome back to my little mini-series of what happens when videos. Today, what happens when you're running a business without a plan? Uh oh! So can you imagine if you got into a small boat and you started rowing with no idea of where you wanted to go? Or even if you had a rough idea, you've actually got no idea how to get there? Now sure, you might find some really nice little islands along the way, places to stop, things to explore, little tributaries to go down, but ultimately, you're not going to end up where you wanted to go, unless by sheer luck. So making a living from your art and building that dream art business like any business needs a plan. A roadmap for yourself which outlines what you want, where you want to go and how you're going to get there. So without a plan, you're likely going to waste a lot of time and money on unnecessary ventures. Randomly invest money in marketing and see no return whatsoever. Quickly lose focus and motivation. Get really frustrated as you just don't know what you're doing wrong. Have no way to track your success, you know, what's working, what's not working. And of course ultimately, not make a living from your art. Now listen, as daunting and dull as a business plan can seem, it really is the key to success. For you building a successful, profitable art business. So write a plan, use a template. I have one in my art business academy membership, as well as training on exactly how to fill it out and bite the bullet and get it done. Trust me, you're going to feel so relieved when you've completed it. You're filling control for the first time. You'll know exactly where you're going and you'll be excited about taking the actions to move you forward. Towards what it is that you want to achieve. And luckily, no more chasing your tail for you. Hope you've enjoyed today's super short bite-sized video. What happens when look out for others in the same series.
