  • Love the lessons you shared! Especially the one about taking care of yourself really resonated – so so so true! And even so I had my lesson in that area already … I still tend to forget. But I get better and better and that is what it is all about in the end, rigth, progress! :-)

    Wishing you all the best for your business!

      Thanks so much Ursula! I wish the best for you, too :) I have a feeling we’ll have to keep learning these lessons over and over again :)

  • As Iris said, I recognize a lot of what our are talking about, Elizabeth. Very well written and insightful post. I too am trying to grow my business and right now feel a little unorganized and directionless (maybe because I’m also planning my wedding?!), but not discouraged. Looking forward to see how things progress for you!

      Katie, I SO hear you on planning a wedding while trying to figure out your business! I did the same thing in 2013. :) I’m glad you’re not feeling discouraged – I’ll be looking forward to your progress as well!!

  • What a lovely post. I appreciate your sharing these steps as you’re starting out. Really insightful.

    P.S. I love The War of Art, too. I found it so reassuring and encouraging.

      Thanks so much, Keetha! and totally agreed about War of Art – it was such a no-nonsense book that just made sense. I’m glad you’ve read it too!

  • I really recognise these things you write about Elizabeth! I’m on a very similar journey, starting to take this art thing more seriously and taking it into the direction of a business. The self doubt that can come up, and the obstacles we can put in our way as a result of it abound! It’s an exciting path to take though. I really enjoyed this post and your honest sharing.

      Iris, totally agreed – it’s an exciting path and it’s up to us to support each other when the doubt/obstacles creep in. Thanks so much for reading!
