Three Important Goals For All Artists



1. Get noticed:
How does one get noticed? By going out on a limb and doing interesting things that get the attention of people looking for something different. And it’s really great when you get the attention of those who are not looking for what you do.

2. Gain trust:
How does one gain trust? By being consistent through your work. A clear vision lets people know where you stand. And if they want a particular type of experience, a certain kind of thing,  they will know that they can depend on you.

3. Accessibility:
How does one become more accessible? Easy. Just make yourself and what you do available. Social media, websites, live performances, or just by showing up—these are all beneficial. When folks out there are looking for new experiences, trying to find someone they can trust, let them know that you’re their guy! And if what you offer is free, even better.
