I have now allocated my time to include at least 1-2 days for business to include phone calls, written communications, updating written communications, cataloging concepts, blogging, etc. and 1 day for networking, meeting with prospective clients and with other artists, visiting other studios and galleries, etc. This was a hard decision for me to face because if I could create 7 days a week, I would. I wanted to create and someone else sell (me), but as a seasoned Toastmaster, I realized that no one can sell me better than me, so I realized I can work with an artist representative, but i must definitely be involved. I make sure to include down/relaxing time to read, listen to music all during the week to reinvigorate myself to prevent burn out.

But I know my work is good and I know I can make it even better, and times like these challenge me to stretch and grow as an artist. It's good for me!

I agree with you...pheew! You must be managing your time more wisely than I if you still have 65% of your time for art...I might be lucky if I have 50%. I am still learning how to juggle it all. If you have any ideas, send in a tip! Thanks again- Lori :-) Thanks for the comment, Roger. I agree with you…pheew!
