Description

Do you have any friends or colleagues who just seem lucky? Who appear to have great opportunities fall in their lap all the time? I know that, from the outside looking in, it can sometimes seem like other people have all the luck! Well, I’m here to tell you, my friend, that the appearance of luck is just that: an appearance. It doesn’t match reality. Behind the scenes of that other creative’s career, what you don’t see is all the work they’re doing to create that luck. Today, I’m going to pull back the curtain and show you how to make your own luck. You, too, can be a lucky artist.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What’s wrong with the concept of “overnight success.”
• Why “luck” is actually something you can create for yourself, not something that just happens on a whim.
• How your mindset will influence what opportunities are available to you.
• Why a practical, workable strategy for your business is an essential part of your creative process.
• What kind of action will allow you to have consistent predictable results in your business. (Goodbye feast or famine!)
• In short, how to make your own luck!

In this episode, I mention that registration is now open for the summer 2023 session of my Taming the Muse Group Workshop, and I reference two previous episodes of this podcast: 

• 007: Working in Your Creative & Financial Sweet Spot
• 011: Mindset, Strategy, and Action
  

I also reference Merriam-Webster's definition of "mindset"  and the video for the "Invisible Gorilla" experiment conducted by Chris Chabris and Dan Simons.
