How’s the balance in your art business?
No attempt to read a consistent practice of personal and business development books would be complete with Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®. As such, it was chosen for the first month of the Artisan Advantage Book Club. The advice in this book has inspired people from all walks of life for thirty years! The seven habits of effectiveness in the book can help at any stage of your art business.
If you’ve started the book, you’ve read about P/PC balance. Covey uses the fable of the goose and the golden egg to explain this concept of finding the balance between short term and long term results.
How are you balancing things in your art business? Are you reaching for too much in a short amount of time, which can lead to stress and discouragement? Or, are you putting too much focus on non-essential activity, that is not going to lead to long term gain? How can you reach an effective balance between short and long term results as you move forward? Consider specifically how you can gain more balance in the context of your art business.
Stay tuned to this blog for more reading notes as we work through this month’s pick.
