Need More Gurus ?

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.

 "Two Lips"

 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 ~

The "ROCK" That Changes The Course Of The River

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

The Time Has Come To Mend My Broken Heart

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

Never Give UP

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  !!!

We Are Artists Of Life ....

We are all artists of life. Allow yourself to create the life you truly desire.
Don Miguel Ruiz

Whether as Art or Life....Its YOUR life, live it YOUR way !
You need no one's permission.
You need no special skills.
You need no money to make a choice to live a life, by design.
You simply decide. Its YOUR life
If you're waiting for "someday"
That day is NOW !
How will you live your life differently starting TODAY ?

The Six Things You Must Know

 Moon Wave ....©SianGlobal Photo

For the few past weeks 
I've been writing an inspirational article, 
placed here, shared here 
and thus,
have so shared the "ideology" of my work. 
Things I live by,
Things I love by......

This is the very essence of HOW I choose to promote my work,
and how I know to develop and promote the work of others.
For over 30 years,
these are the "bones" and  design of the very thing that works, every time,
without fail ?

Are you ready ?

Answer these six questions

Why do you do what you do ?
What motivates you to do what you do ?
What is the personal voice you want the world to hear ?
What is the professional voice you want the world to hear ?
How much is enough, per month ? per year ?
Who is your hero, what business model do you wish to emulate ?

Once you know your why, never deviate from it
Once you know what motivates you,
make sure that all of your projects are of this intent.
Once you know your personal voice ... your art will emulate it.
Your professional voice is how you bring it to the world.

How much is enough is a question for all of us.... 
in a world where there is an endless pursuit of more...
Knowing how much you need, secure that income first,
all else becomes a bonus.
And who do you most wish to emulate? Who do you admire ?

Take the time to answer these questions, without conflict.
Close your eyes, place your hands on your heart.
Ask yourself the question.
Trust the answer, 
No more than two sentences.....

Do not edit.
Then begin......

Fulfillment begins with this simple task

Live What You LOVE ...

It is this ... and only this....that inspires your patrons to want YOUR work.....

Yes it may match the couch, but the patron has always and will always buy because of YOU....
and because your philosophy and purpose inspires them......always....

A little story to share.....

If you ask me what I love MOST, I just love being around horses.....
and ever since I was a little girl.......and as long as I can remember.....
if there were a horse that passed my view, I HAD to stop, 
go over and give it a pet, give it a carrot, give it some attention....
Just to gaze into the big brown eyes of a being
so willing to blend with my humanity
always.....

Most think to own horses costs an arm and a leg....... 
To SHOW horses costs ALOT,
but to enjoy horses its really not more expensive
than a few hundred a month if your horses are fed properly and are healthy.......

So when this is the thing you LOVE the most, people often think that they can never "make money" owning horses ......or make money at any of the things that YOU love to do, like being an artist.

I took to task to prove that "idea" wrong some years ago and bought horses that had been abused ..... "righted" them through Natural Horsemanship and thus, made sure each found very good homes..... with people who loved them and were willing to pay a much higher fee for a horse that was gentled.....and made a nice return on the nominal investment ( some of these horses I would acquire for little or no money or for as little as $1.00 )

I did not know HOW to do this, and sought the help of colleagues and friends who showed me the ropes......

Now I can't imagine my life again without horses.....
There is a way to generate an income doing absolutely ANYTHING you love .....

Ask me how ? ~ I made money in the three biggest black holes people generally think won't work, ART, Horses and Boats..... What YOU love is not beyond my scope to creatively assist YOU to rethink how you LIVE......

If you LIVE what you love.... you'll smile daily !!!!
And that is a LIFE worth living ~

PS.. this does not require building an email list ..... EVER

My love of horses has led to my most recent business endeavor....
Being 57, my body is a bit sore after riding so I needed a program that
would help me soothe, limber and strengthen my muscles.....

Team Beach Body is the biggest no brainer of a GREAT little online business that I LOVE ... 
The products I love, the people I love, and the RESET is something that, quite frankly is revolutionary......

Please let me know if there is anything that YOU want to be MORE fit for.....
I especially love that Shakeology has a magic elixer called MACA root, which enlivens one's 57 year old libido....

Anything that you love, and need can become a revenue division to your company, 
and benefit you in the process....

Artists so often limit themselves to selling the ART only

Sell the LIFE.....

Its the life of the artist in which your patron finds intrigue.......
Show them,
Teach them......

and best of all......LIVE what you LOVE.....
and emulate love.....


It is indeed the only thing we truly need.
And it is one of the only things we actually really want
