ENCORE: Guarantee Your Success
The most common question I get asked by those who are considering joining my incubator is something similar to "What are the guaranteed results if I join?" However, the only one who can guarantee your results are YOU. Results and success aren't dependent on a program, it's based on the work that you put in! Not all students who apply to law or medical school get in. And not all who get in graduate. The ones who finish are the ones who put in the work. In the same way, not all participants of any program will have the same results. "Only you can guarantee your result." -Miriam Schulman So what can you do to increase your results? Here are three points I discuss in detail on this episode: You're the only one who can guarantee your success. Your success is equivalent to the effort you put in Give your relentless commitment and live the VIP life Invest in your relationships "Building an art business takes even more courage. Because you have to put in the perspiration behind the inspiration." -Miriam Schulman It can be equally terrifying and exciting to realize that the outcome of your work is dependent on you. Take this time as a year ends and another one begins, to plan for the next year ahead. Take this time to introspect and ask yourself: Who are you becoming? How are you showing up to the world? What are your dreams? Do your actions lead you towards your dreams? Remember that you're the only one who can guarantee your success.
