Time Management: Typically wait for complete clarity before taking a step. They pursue their art when they have free time as a pass-time and opportunity for personal enjoyment.

Artistic Style: Lots of experimentation with mediums, styles & expressions. No cohesive artistic voice, just a desire to express, have fun and create. Can feel like a "jack of all trades, master of none".

Inspiration: Feels inspired to create sporadically but doesn't necessarily act on the inspiration. Needs to feel inspired to start the creative process.

Growth: Slower progress because they can be impulsive, impatient and lack focus. Likes to take short cuts, be "good enough" and can tend to give up easily.

Spiritual: Can enjoy connecting with God during the creative process but tends to continually ask for the 'new thing' or the 'download' needed to fast track the process.  Can need external affirmation, constant encouragement and specific leadership before feeling comfortable in moving forward.  Doesn't enjoy the business and sales side of being an artist.

Sales: Infrequent or non-existent sales of their work. Gives alot of work away to friends and family, enjoys art as a place for spiritual processing with the Lord but struggles to place monetary value on their work. No established presentation or pricing strategy.

Business: Sees the business side of thing as a barrier or difficulty that is unnecessary and to be avoided or at best, a necessary evil.

Success: Equals a wonderful creative experience but with no clear picture of where their art might lead them. Led by wishful thinking, fervent hope and leaps of faith.

Time Management: Take actionable steps, not waiting for total clarity in every situation. They prioritize regular studio time as an important part of their routine and protect that time as valuable.

Artistic Style: Developed a cohesive, artistic voice within a certain medium or collection of media that is easily recognizable as "them". Developed mastery of skills needed within their creative medium. Experiments within their style, voice and mediums.

Inspiration: Cultivates and stewards inspiration as a regular part of life through journaling, sketching, documenting and experiences.  Likes to feel inspired when creating but also trusts inspiration to develop during the creative process.

Growth: Faster growth because they are focused, patient, growth oriented and always learning. Tends to be persistent and desiring excellence in all they do.

Spiritual: Enjoys connecting with God during every part of being an artist including creating, selling, connecting and artistic development.  Encourages themselves in the Lord and asks for guidance and confirmation regarding goal-centered strategies. Is firm in their identity as a son.

Sales: Regular sales to a known clientele within a standardized pricing and presentation model.  Confident in the quality and value of their work and willing to charge a premium. 

Business: Understands that their business and the systems and tools within it create the vehicle by which their art comes into the marketplace. They understand that to thrive as an artist, one must work IN the business (their art) and ON the business (the back end things like marketing, bookkeeping, sales, logistics, etc).

Success: Defined by a clear vision for their life, their art and their business. Thoughtfully builds a bridge to the future based on where they are currently and where they want to go.
