How are you and your art business faring in the current climate? We have heard so many stories from the MATS community about the ways you have each been affected, and we know that it can be overwhelming to cope amid so much uncertainty. Times like this can take their toll on our creativity and motivation, and if you are worried about money, or trying to juggle additional responsibilities like homeschooling, that can add an extra layer of pressure.

For the past ten years I have been helping people to navigate change, whether that is changing careers, starting a new business, or reconfiguring their life to do more of what they love.

We step back and take a good look at our lives: what once was, in the past, and what will be when this is over. This in-between time is a precious moment to reflect and make changes to our lives so that when this phase is over and the bright new future emerges we will be well-positioned to go after

#MATSPREP DAY Three: Your 2019 CUP of dreams

You’ve written on each cup on your page, and learned some things about yourself. There’s something about working pictorially that may help you get clarity. I’m guessing that you’re probably a visual learner (duh!) and that by making a drawing, you may have made some discoveries about what you want for your future. Today, pick one of your favorite cups and make it a whole big picture. Add ‘2019’ to the page, and any other words or drawings you like! Maybe it’s simply the cup and ‘2019’ on a page. Maybe you are drinking from the cup, or mixing up a cake mix in the cup/bowl…draw a picture of the cup any way you like! “But Lilla”, you say, “How can I pick just one?” I’m literally smiling as I write this because I know, as a creative person, you have a million things you want to do. But for now, pick one and make it a page.

#MATSPREP DAY TWO: Your cup runneth over

Cups, containers, vases, mugs. Cat cup by Helen Dardik and blue floral travel mug by Carolyn Gavin There’s something really precious about cups. What do you think of cups? Did you enjoy drawing a page of cups? (Remember, they can be any kind of vessel. I’m just calling them cups for shorthand.) The guts of a career is the dream. The thing that will keep you motivated and passionate—through thick and thin—is if the work comes from your very special dream. What do we mean by a dream? A dream is a vision for your future that makes you happy. Yes, your career will evolve—that’s the fun of it—but for now, start where you are right now. In our MBA (Money BadAss) course, brilliant entrepreneurs Beth Kempton and Lilla Rogers will guide you to create your brand, your look, and to think about who you want to appeal to. This MATS Prep that you’re working on is my sneaky secret trick to help you prepare
