Tip of the Day: having a missionTo have great success, you must have a good 'mission. What would you do if you could do anything or be given any job you want? Start from there. Don't worry about how hard it might be or how to make money from it yet. Figure out your mission and THEN figure out how to make a living from it.
The best missions don't come from taking but from wanting to give back. However, achieving goals for yourself can give you the success and ability to give back more.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: the StruggleLearn to enjoy the struggle. Our most memorable goals we achieve in our lives are always extra special because of the many hardships we had to endure before succeeding. Those memories will be some of your fondest when you're successful. So take sometime to live in the moment and enjoy the struggle before achieving bigger and better things.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: is it memorable?In this ever growing art community (especially online) it gets harder and harder to be noticed. You will be noticed when your art and/or the idea behind your art is unique.
Think about how memorable your art is. If it looks like a million other things, no one is going to remember it.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: ComparingDon't compare your life to others. See what others are doing but the best person to compare yourself to is you.
If I always compared myself to others and wanted to constantly compete or beat others, I wouldn't want to share what I know.
Everyone is on their own journey but together we can get further and faster.
Have a great Monday!
Sending positive vibes to you all

Tip for Today: When to give up?Never give up just because you don't think you're good enough. We've all had our doubts in life. Successful people do not give up easily. We must prepare and prepare again, try your very hardest and then about 50% more that you didn't know you had consistently, then keep going twice as long as you ever thought you would or could. Look for more knowledge and try again.
Favorite this if you're with me! Have an awesome Friday.
Sending positive vibes to you all.

Tip of the Day: ConversationToday try to make conversation with at least one person that you don't know. No matter how short the conversation might be.
More opportunities come if you make a habit of striking up conversations with people you don't know.
You wouldn't believe some of the people I've been able to get to know just because I decided to talk to them.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Sharing KnowledgeDon't be afraid to share your knowledge. You'll learn even more through teaching what you know.
Not just that but I feel that people who share, end up gravitating towards others that like to share.

Tip of the Day: Getting your foot in the door*Take note that this advice is meant for people that are completely unknown beginners that have no options and are looking to learn***
Comic legend Lynn Johnston (creator of "For Better or For Worse" gave me today's tip of the day. She wrote to me with some advice after listening to my audiobook "The Perfect Bait"
"I wondered if there should be a portion dedicated to people- students etc who are completely unknown, who just want to get a foot in the door.
Working for free is the answer. You might balk at this because some critics say this gives the appearance that there is NO value to skill and talent. However- consider this: Working for free gives you amazing experience. It allows you to practice on someone else's project, see your work in print, establish a reputation and learn- big time. People who won't work for free WILL pay for a course! What better learning experience is there than to work with a client- such as a library or an independent book store or a school- producing poste

Tip of the Day: Enjoy the processToday, concentrate on enjoying the process of art more than the result, you will become more productive. Put on some music or have a drink or whatever you can do to relax a bit and enjoy the process of doing art!
By the way, today is Imaginism Studio's birthday!
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the day: Spend time wiselyA lot of times the most important things in life take about the same time as the unimportant things. What is something important that you can do more of? What's something that you can do less of?
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the Day: ConcentrationAn essential ability for success is to bend your concentration towards the things that matter the most.
Punch your mental distractions in the face and start concentrating on what matters.
If it's a loved one that is distracting you, don't punch them... just ask them to give you time to concentrate

Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Mental Blinders

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 23, 2012, 6:40 AM

Sometimes you really have to just shut your brain off after making a good decision and just do it. Too many times we find that we know what to do but just don't do it. Today, come to a decision that is something you KNOW is a good one, then put on the mental blinders and just FOCUS on that task.

I think part of what success I've achieved so far has come from being able to focus on one thing for long periods of time like Forrest Gump.

Sending positive vibes to you all!

I completely agree. Many times one does not follow through with a decision, known to be a good one, that is, one does not fulfill or follow through with what is found to be a known truth, because a silent argument within strives to disprove this truth. This personally has caused me to struggle with many paintings, because I am always erasing good decisions, that is, mashing the 'undo' key or deleting layers that don't meet some unobtainable perfection. These deleted brush strokes and layers are thrown away, simply, due the fear of making a mistake. The end result is frustration, breeding self doubt the most crippling emotion for creatives. Thus, the murder of the most amazing aspect of being an artist--witnessing the creation of something from nothing--becomes the only decision one unknowingly makes. It is so true that if one just shuts their brain off after making a good decision, following this KNOWN truth, self confidence can be built one good decision at a time. Thank you so much Bobby you really help me.
