A short motivational monologue addressed to artists encouraging them not to abandon the current year and to take concrete actions in the remaining weeks. The speaker challenges the idea of "writing off" the year, offers specific small-step actions (social posts, cold messages, emails, sales goals), and urges urgency over slowness to build an art business.
There's a lot of artists that have written off 20, 25 and said, well, I'm just gonna wait until next year. There's nothing I can do now. And I just want to be maybe one voice in your life that asks why. We still got almost four weeks.
What was your goal? Was your goal to make your first sale online? Can you go make 10 posts? Can you go do 25 cold DMs? Can you go send out 5 emails over the next 4 weeks? Like, what can you do to make something happen? Why do you feel like you have to write this year off because you haven't done enough? There is no enough. Enough according to who? Enough according to you? You will never do enough. I never do enough for myself. But when we say, well, I'll just wait, I'll write it off, we don't do anything, and then we move slow. And slow is not how you start to build your art business. It's not how you start to make this thing work. You don't have to make it hard, but we can't be slow. So don't write off the rest of this year. You've got time to figure something out. You've got time to walk out of here with a win that you never thought was possible.
