I was back in the Art Club Community on Clubhouse this time talking about the fears that come up as an artist.
You say you want to be able to quit your job and do your art fulltime but things seem to be getting in the way and it’s just not happening. Or maybe you just want to start selling some of your paintings or get hired for your photography skills but you’re not taking the steps to put yourself out there.
Sound familiar?
In this talk we spoke about…
Common Fears…
- Fear of failure
- Fear of success
- Fear of what other people will say about you or your work
- Fear of people stealing or copying your ideas
- Fear of being judged
And common excuses…
- Not enough time
- Not enough money
- Imposter syndrome – not feeling good enough
- Feeling like your work isn’t ready – you need more training
- You don’t even know how to get started!
Perfectionism was another topic that came up! It always leads to procrastination!
Which fear or excuse can you relate to the most? I personally have experienced ALL of these at one point or another but I’ve learned to feel the fear and do it anyway!
Good news is there’s a replay available so you can listen in just like you would a podcast episode. What’s great is that one woman was brave enough to come up and discuss her particular situation so you can actually listen in on a coaching session! It took some digging and questioning to get to the root of the fear but it happened, and now that she’s aware, she can start to deal with it and take action.
Have you been wanting to get your art out into the world but it’s still not happening? What seems to be holding you back? I suggest journaling on it to get down to the bottom of it. If you’re frustrated and ready to move forward and need extra support, I offer coaching sessions, my signature course and a free workshop coming up next week!
Let me know how I can help!
