Karen Atkinson: End of the Year Checklist for Creatives

Just a few thoughts for the end of the year:

2011-12-21-investsm.jpg

  • Do your books before December 31st, so you can tell if you can or should spend on any tax-deductible items.
  • Send a thank you to those who have supported you this year; it will make their day.
  • Ask yourself if you are getting the word out about your work and your projects. Are people listening?
  • Invest in yourself. Get information you need, or take a workshop to get you jump started on a project.
  • Have a great business card for those times when you need to leave a trail and someone can find you. Use all the real estate on the card including the back for vital information.
  • Share an important resource or tool that has worked for you with others.
  • Talk about other artists or cool things on your blog.
  • Do a studio visit with someone you recently met, regardless of whether they are a "gatekeeper" or not.
  • Buy from artists this holiday season.
  • Congratulate yourself for what you have accomplished this year, and make plans for the next.


And above all, here's to kickin' some butt in 2012. Happy Holidays everyone.
