the starting point..

What is the best formula for success? Action!

You have a dream or  an idea and you hope to make this dream or idea happen; maybe you really don’t know where or how to begin. 

Take action of some kind…make a list of actions that will start you on your journey. Find experts in the area you are interested in, read their blogs, books, follow their work. Get to know them, and learn how they achieved their success.

Since I am pursuing art licensing, I have been following experts…artists who have been in this industry for a number of years and are successful. Here is a brief bit of info I have gleaned.

On a recent Tara Reed Ask Call with artist Paul Brent these were the take away bits for me.

The top three items on his list of how to start in art licensing were:

1. Create a portfolio

2. Walk Surtex, an art licensing show.

3. Research companies who license art.

I have a portfolio; however, adding to it daily is on my action plan. Researching companies and making contacts is another part of my action plan. I recently walked the Atlanta Gift Show and walking Surtex is on my action plan for 2011.

Taking action means doing something; get out there, act on your dream and eventually the dream becomes reality.
