The Three Steps to Success in Art and Life - Nicholas Wilton - Ep 162
Starting small and quiet in the creative field is something many of us experience, but advancing requires a process—and sometimes, the guidance of a coach. Rediscovering the art in my life has been a profound journey, and I’m sharing my story to help you achieve your creative goals, too. My three-step approach for creative goals encompasses Vision, Process, and Sharing: Vision: Be clear about your desires and goals. Understand your limiting beliefs and set up a community or coaching for support. Process: Enjoy the creative journey. Maintain consistency and develop a system that works for you, allowing for sustained progress over time. Sharing: Overcome the fear of sharing your work and ideas. Sharing is vital for growth and gaining confidence as an artist. Engaging with my platform through comments and reviews helps spread valuable content. Overcoming limiting beliefs, seeking mentorship, and facilitating personal growth are essential to achieving artistic aspirations. Listen if you are interested in...
