We are cultivating a culture of
guru's which is fine until its time to actually DO the business, Promote
the business, Sell the products of the business and to benefit from
the educational offering of those who have provided expertise......
You
know the old saying there are "too many cooks in the kitchen" ~ That
which provides "practical implementation" was once just called a
business with a service, product and standard of which one could be
proud ~ And one that the client or customer would be honored to
purchase.....
I think I've just added a new standard to my
business...One where the customer, whether buying a $5.95 greeting card
or $12.00 book is just as important as the client purchasing a $25,000
painting.I have all three price points in my products base.

All of these clients are equally valuable to me.
Each
is a standard by which I can judge whether I've cared for the client in
the process of the sale, and the use of my product, my classroom, my
content, or my professional "interaction"
I have built the
customer service departments of innumerable companies including my own ~
With out customer service.....you might have just annoyed your greatest
"champion" ~
They are hard to find, because I'm one of
the best " in the world in which I function" ~ The Fine Arts..... for
over 30 years....I've dedicated my life to the service of bringing
humanity and "beauty" to the world.....
I have succeeded.......
I
have created revenue in every business center deemed a "black hole" ie
Art, Horses and Boats ......and just about every "THING" else.
The
accolades of my company are vast, and the reason for such is that there
is a "person," a designer, an artist, a voice behind every cause or
product I have championed.......Every voice has value ~
Are you listening ?
It will be the greatest asset to your business
to place conscious intent
in listening to what the customer needs......wants or desires ......
Nothing is trivial, when you are able to deliver ... satisfaction
and are honoring the request of those who, today might request your full attention ~

Have you noticed that some people...
are just MAJOR control freaks ?
If you follow and watch them for a while
you'll notice that some are
blindly screaming at the stars.......
and others are really
comfortable in their own skin seeming
to beam sunlight right out
of their eyes !
Being in control, is necessary in your business, yet if you are unopen to offerings that will lift you from
"trying to reinvent the wheel,"
then you cause your own "pain" and struggle......
There is so much expertise available here on the web.
Why not choose the best ?
The best is NEVER free.
I mean, those who have created millions
in their particular industry, have insight and experience.
I know for myself, I've reached out to so many
to "shorten" the distance from idea to implementation.....
Some just won't receive help.....
they are the ones with whom, you just say "next" ~
Its difficult to watch others struggle, yet you must remember that they
have just forgotten to "look up" and notice ~
There is nothing new in
the universe, truly...
It may have been done before.....
That is why its essential to understand "the business model" you wish to
implement, and emulate.....and adapt it to your offering.
These processes have always been easy for me to understand......
People really mess up what is "natural"
by commanding the universe to skip a heart beat.
You can't change "natural flow"
yet you can become
the "rock" that changes the course of the river....
Be the rock,
its just easier

LIFE !
The time has come to mend my broken heart.
Your name comes to my mind
And soothes the pain.
Cause there's been times in my life
I got hurt inside......
Its a cryin' shame that love,
love is to blame.
Song Lyrics by ©Sian Lindemann
I love you ...

Letters From The Road Collections
Let your LOVE
lead the way...
In your life,
In your art,
In your career.
Its YOUR love
Its YOUR creation
Its YOUR life.
The rest of the world cannot stop your heart
from beating YOUR unique gifts.
©SianLindemann May 2014
If you feel as if you are pushing a boulder up hill
in your career as an artist,
YOU are.
I assure you, however, that this is essential...
There will, however, come a point,
where the tides will change.....
and the flow will return to you,
in surprising ways.
Where invitations to participate
in amazing events
and opportunities will be abundant.
Allow the NEW energy IN...
Let others help you move forward.
Express your gratitude,
that the hardest work has been done.
AND make way for a brand new world.
For over 30 years I've been pushing,
prodding and cajoling others to participate in their own lives.
For over 40 years I've also done the same for myself......
Its a new world....
and the notion of the 30 year "overnight success"
is about to become a reality.
PS, you need to take this long.
Be open to help,
Be open to receive help.
If there is but one piece of advice I can recommend.
No individual can really see themselves clearly......
Its essential to have the world share with us, their view.
It deepens our own understanding
of what gifts we bring,
and very often they are nothing like the story
we've been telling ourselves.....
Its ALWAYS better......
Cheers to YOUR success !!!
