Lilla here. Today I’m sharing the third and final part of my free #MATSprep to help you grow your amazing creative career. Today you’re really going to hone in on one big dream for the year ahead. If you’ve taken my courses or followed me for a while, you’ll know I’m big on affirmations and manifesting your dreams. Setting down exactly what you want to achieve can be amazingly powerful in helping you get there – and we make it pretty because that’s the way our creative minds work.

If you want more wisdom like this, I hope you’ll join me on one of my courses next year. I’ve crammed in everything I’ve learned from my decades as a full-time illustrator and an international art agent, and I’ve designed them especially for creative people like you, with heaps of tips, industry knowledge, and creative assignments just like the one I’ve been sharing over the past week, so you can build a potent portfolio, get the jobs you want, and make a living from making art.
Plus our biggest sale of the year, our huge Cyber Sale, is on NOW! There are discounts on every single course – up to 50% – plus some incredible bundles to help you achieve your dreams, and installment plans on all bundles to help you out along the way.

Don’t miss it – set an alarm on your phone now!
Here’s the final part of your #MATSprep!
So far, you’ve created a page full of cups, written something on each one, and learned some things about yourself. (If you missed Part 1 or Part 2, catch up via the links.) 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, I want you to pick one of your favorite cups and make it a whole big picture. Add “2022” to the page, and any other words or drawings you like.
Maybe it’s simply the cup and “2022” on a page. Maybe you are drinking from the cup, or mixing up a cake mix in the cup/bowl … Do it whatever 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. Feel in your body which one makes you happiest, or smile, or energizes you, or you wanna go do right now.
Tip: If you really can’t pick just one, then take a coin and toss it above your cups page and see where it lands. Then, draw that one on a new piece of paper.
Bonus tip: If, while you are about to flip the coin, you secretly hope it lands on one of the cups, then you have your answer!

Draw your picture, and hang it up in a prominent place. It has magic as it seeps into your brain like an affirmation.
I really, really, can’t wait to see what you do. Be sure to share your finished piece on social media, and tag in @makeartthatsells and use the hashtag #matsprep so I can see what you do.
You’ve just made some phenomenal preparation for the year head, and for your amazing art career. Together, we’ll help you find the way to grow your passion-based business.
