Hello and welcome to Behind The Pencil, an Artists podcast sharing all the highlights and lowlights of being a self-employed Artist, life behind being a Coloured Pencil Artist and all the magic that happens behind the scenes, before the pencil touches the paper ✍🏻
In episode 7 I wanted to talk about the importance of creating your own opportunities as an Artist. This is something I learned the hard way. Sitting around and waiting for opportunities to come to you when you’re self-employed isn’t going to get you anywhere, you’ll be waiting a long time. This episode is also for you if you’re after a little pep talk from a fellow Artist, I hope this will help build your confidence 👩🏻🎨
I chat about preparing for opportunities, getting out of your comfort zone, being proactive and facing rejection.
Remember… Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago 🎧
We have to chase what we want.
I hope you enjoy it and thanks for listening, Molly Jay xx
