And do it.



Do not let the thief rob you and terrorise you with fear.
When you are fearful of doing something, positive action causes the fear to retreat.
When the fear, the thief says don’t, you say do, and do it.
And do it. And do it.
You are more powerful than you think, act accordingly.

“ IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE?”

In this business paintings are sold for under $50 and some for more than $50million, its all part of the same business. An Artist contacted me and wanted to ask me if I could help him as he was totally frustrated with the Art Business and he did not know what to do next, we had talked before and I had given him some pointers. He started to tell me that sales were slow and it was hard to get people to buy and that he blamed the bad economy. He said he got lots of likes on Facebook but they seldom translated into sales.

Now I have learned what not to do, because as an Artist I never did this but after years in Galleries I wish I had, it was a weak skill that determined the height of my success.
