Today, We just want to share with you the  fourth quadrant of the OPIC System… “Commitment”.

Without commitment nothing will really happen.

You can write as many goals as you like. You can have all the action plans, and have all the measurable validation points as you like.

But you’ll never succeed in your goals & dreams without commitment.

Commitment is about firming your mind and launching yourself towards your goals with no hesitation or fear.

It’s about making the decision that nothing will stop you or hold you back. It’s about deciding that every road-block or obstacle in your path is merely another step towards your objective. With a commitment from your heart, together with your dedicated action, you’ll find your dreams, your passion, and your purpose.

We have concluded that to succeed in building a creative business, you must set goals in three core areas on a regular basis:

• Create

Create, and create constantly. Without creating you’re not living your passion and not producing any income either.

“Create” is a key component of working IN your Art & Design practice.

• Promote

Just as important is “promote”. Without promoting the Art & Design that you have created no one know what you do, and no one will buy your creations.

“Promote” is a key component of working ON your Art & Design practice.

• Refresh

The final ingredient is about ensuring that your desires or dreams are not diminished. It’s about rewarding yourself and taking the time out your need to refresh yourself; like a mini break or a long holiday.

It’s about getting outside of your comfort zone and taking a breath of fresh air. It’s about learning and getting new inspirations.

In being refreshed we can appreciate our passions and so better create and promote.

“Refresh” is a key component of working ABOVE your Art & Design practice.

So if you want to  build a successful creative business  please consider setting your goals in three main areas on a regular basis:

IN your business

~ Goals to create your art

ON your business

~ Goals to Promote your art

ABOVE your business

~ Goal to Refresh yourself
