How tracking my statistics helps me to achieve success in the Arts and in Life.
Major corporations track their statistics- so why don’t you? Believe it or not- I have been tracking statistics on important areas of my life (such as income and promotion) for over 15 years! This is an important tool that I have used to understand and expand my success (or failure) and it can help you too!

Why Aren’t You Posting on Social?
Artists have more access to fans, inspiration, and promotion than ever, yet so many aren’t taking advantage? Why? Because they’re scared. Or frustrated. Or have too much negativity in their lives.

On my last Weekly Update- some of you had questions about how I arrived where I am today and I thought this little Throwback interview with my sister for her podcast: The Road Less Traveled would be the best way to answer. My Journey was unique to say the least. Hear about my thrift store designing days- and that time when my only ride was a Honda Metro Scooter.
