Goals 2009
Here are two interesting links that post creative strategies of Ben Franklin. I thought they’d be good ones to start with for initiating business goals for the new year.
Four techniques to use for the artistic creative process On Music, Creativity, Art & Commerce and can be applied in general. Ben Franklin felt one should study from the masters and build upon their creations.
These mentions on Early to Rise are more in depth with regard to writing and can be directly related to business.
My goals are to be more organized, learn and improve upon mistakes and “don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today.” Hey isn’t that a Ben Franklin quote? Actually, the origin is from Thomas Jefferson (my older son’s school’s connection). I’m actually not lazy, but when I feel overwhelmed I start to slow down in order to dissect and accomplish what has to be done and consequently, fewer things get done. I’m not good at multitasking. This is one reason, I went into a new business venture with partners, because I knew I could not or would not want to handle it alone. So another goal is know your weaknesses so you can improve upon them and don’t panic! There is some advantage to taking things slow. I think the results are more complete.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
