I also set a few this month and reached them. Let's see, I registered the domain cultvines.tv, so I can have a TV show! (help with that) I sold a case of our $50/bottle Roussanne. Ok, it was to my sister's partner, (and my sister is my partner in this endeavor) but what the heck, it was a goal and I hit it> We have a lot in common, as we've set some BHAGS.

It's far truer than the other Bad Thoughts. I'm glad you affirmed the HUGE victory of selling three prints - but I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. It's hard to sell to friends; far harder than buying from friends. And plus, the working artists sells what she creates <em>one person at a time</em>. So I'm sure you see the connection between your selling your prints and you being okay with your wallet. You are independent, talented, and capable of generating wealth on your own - one person at a time, one print at a time. I'm not sure if I'm a hippy, but I'm definitely not a new aged woman. Fighting Resistance can be self-defeating - it becomes about the fight and not about what you're resisting. Why not go play with some alpacas instead? (*hint*) Keep creating stuff, Speedy McGee, and you'll find that you're creating awesome stuff. Or you'll wake up and realize it's been awesome the whole time but you got worried about the meta-creation stuff. And then you'll sell stuff (#1), have random people dig what you do and cheer you on (#3), and you'll become more okay with your wallet (#5). <em>That's</em> the artist's way.

Keep at it, and we'll be your awesome encouragement. It's a swell post, with a wonderful voice (you must be reading @Havi, I know she'd be delighted.) Think about your wallet like my mom told a 7-year-old when spending the mortgage payment on our groceries for a big Thanksgiving gathering: "gotta spend the little ones to make room for the big ones!" Pass around those ones and fives and tens and twenties -- the bigger bills will come to fill your wallet in their absence... like when you buy $ paint to create art that you sell for $$! Easy. Your intentions are smart, doable and no need to slow down. Just drive smart, map or not, eyes both on the road ahead and all around you. Zoom on, man! ~TheGirlPie You are a beautiful, light-filled dork. Keep at it, and we’ll be your awesome encouragement.

I'm drawn to see what you write because you are an artist too, it's fascinating to read how you handle the 'stuff' and the process and the conversations about money. I've added you to my reads, I'll have to update the links! Yea! for the goals happening even without you realizing it at first & for feeling better.
