05. Get Organized in Your Business with this Sales Tracking Process for Creatives

Welcome to Episode 5 and Happy Mon-yay to you!

Today we’re taking a gentle stab at a topic people typically dread – bookkeeping, sales tracking, looking at your numbers, and doing a little spreadsheet administration.

Somehow we’re nearing the end of September. So in the coming weeks, you might want to set aside some time to review the last month and quarter.

In the first week of October, give yourself dedicated time to review sales that came into your art business during the quarter before across all of your sales platforms.

We’re going to talk about doing this with curiosity rather than with judgment. 

This exercise can benefit you in so many ways. First and foremost, it gives you usable data for decision-making. This exercise can also help you to step out of the emotion of business ownership and the emotional blockers that might be keeping you from taking certain actions.

We’ll look at what your numbers are telling you and what decisions you might want to make for the quarter ahead, Q4. Or even for Q3 of next year.
