33. Inspiration for Your Q1 Review: Peek Into a Profit Planning Session With an Artist Couple

In the Revenue Ready Creative podcast, "Mon-yay!" is reserved for the first or second Monday of the new quarter.

It’s a time to look back at your efforts from last quarter so that you can celebrate your achievements, learn from what happened and make adjustments where necessary. 

But it’s also a great time to look ahead as you prepare for what will be happening in your creative business over the next three months. 

You can find specific guidance in Episodes 5 and Episode 21 where I walk you through an exercise for your Quarterly Business Review – hey, maybe you’ll end up scheduling some time THIS WEEK to do your own Quarterly Business Review and see what you learn. 

• Episode 5 — Get Organized in Your Business With This Sales Tracking Process for Creatives
• Episode 21 — Guidance for Your Q4 Review: Sales Tracking for Commercial Artists, Makers and Designer

For today, however, I thought it might be interesting for you to hear an actual coaching call with an artist duo – a husband and wife team, whom I’ve had the absolute pleasure of coaching in their second year of business!

In this session, you’ll hear just how busy they’ve been, literally filling their calendar with different festivals, events, and different types of offerings in their business.

Pay attention to their description of how the physical, in-person events are starting to wear them down.

Notice how they’re shifting into a different strategy for earning revenue in their business business.

And then, finally, toward the end, a magical moment occurs when they see how everything might be different for them financially if they shift focus to one line of business over others.

Listen and be inspired. 😊
