The worst thing you can do is mistake mindless repetition for actual improvement. Practice is more effective when you set a clear intention, which guides you in making it a reality. #SelfImprovement #ArtMentorship #ArtisticGrowth

Want to be more successful? - Constantly seek diverse perspectives. - Nurture existing relationships. - Eliminate stifling influences. - Make others successful. - Provide and capture value. A well-built network becomes a self-sustaining engine for success. #ArtMentorship

Words of wisdom from Jared Steinberg, Fine Artist and incredible human! #tuesdayvibe #creativetips #kidlit #WritingTips Remember - #ReVISIONweek is just around the corner!

As artists, introversion often calls us to retreat and immerse fully in our craft. Yet, stepping out to explore, connect, and network through social channels is vital for growth and inspiration. #ArtMentorship

No artist succeeds alone. There's always someone in their corner, driving them to new heights. Picasso had Gertrude Stein; Michelangelo had the Medicis. Find your advocate. #ArtMentorship

You’re told to grind harder. But what if the limitations are coming from your network? Isolate the bad connections. Cultivate the good ones. Your network IS your net worth. #Networking #Mentorship #ProfessionalGrowth

Master the last thing before chasing the next big thing. #Mastery #Art #Mentorship

Most people skip the fundamentals, then wonder why they plateau early. #Mastery #ArtProcess #ModularMentorship

To achieve what you want, go back to: - Your original goals - The initial steps you took - The bedrock principles you forgot Your journey will become clear.
