Self-Improvement and Motivation for Creatives — The Three Best Keys

Art takes time — it can also take its toll on you.

You say, “I love to write!” “I love to draw!” “I love photography!” We find solace and great pleasure in honing our craft. Then life rears its ugly head and we’re in a funk. How do we get our mojo back? Here are three best keys to self-improvement and motivation for creatives.

ONE — Inspiration.

Inspiration is critical to staying motivated and improving oneself. If you are not deeply, and genuinely interested in your art, your motivation level will never be high enough. And you will not be able to sustain interest for very long.

Take an honest look at your inspiration level. Are you excited about working at your craft or is it an obligation? You would be surprised at the number of people who choose a creative endeavor that looks good on paper, but in reality, does not interest them in the least.

It’s big money! Yup, for those that let their souls come out through their work. Not being inspired by your work? You might as well get a paint-by-numbers set.

Non-inspired individuals will grow weary and uninterested pretty quickly. They simply don’t possess the drive or passion to sustain themselves during the difficult times they will encounter as a creative.

If you do not like your work, then think about how you can re-focus your artistic endeavors to better match your needs and personality. Consider all your talents. Or consider making a change entirely.

Without inspiration, you won’t be motivated to even try self-improvement to keep going. That realization may hit you square in the face when you start making excuses for why your work, isn’t working!

TWO — Setting goals.

Short and long-term goal setting is vital for any creative. If you do not set goals, you would have no definite path of self-improvement to take. You will not flourish because you are not learning as you are working.

How could you possibly be motivated if you were unsure about the direction of your art? Goals allow you to see the big picture more, which can become blurry sometimes.

Take the time to put your goals in writing. A business plan, if needed may sound daunting, but it is really nothing more than goals, strategies, implementation, and a budget.

Is your art a hobby or a business? Are you running it as a business? Write a business plan and update it at least annually.

Include “mini-goals” that can be accomplished in a matter of hours, days, or weeks as well as the more ambitious “grand goals” that may take years to complete. Refer to this plan throughout the year.

But can a business plan and written goals really help motivate you? Of course. Written goals will make you feel more professional and certainly more connected to your creative business. It will also free you from having to reinvent your business and goals every single day.

THREE — Networking.

Another key factor in getting and staying motivated is networking with other creatives. No one person knows all the knowledge.

However, when several people begin working together, the challenges will just be there waiting to be conquered.

The isolation of working alone is of one the most difficult parts of being a creative, and an entrepreneur.

You can never be on your way to self-improvement without the help of others. Mutual support is motivating.

Make it easier on yourself by connecting with others either in your community or online. Even when creative endeavors are not related, you will often find common ground and ways to work together.

Many successful creatives report that finding the right networking group was a turning point in the growth of the creative business. Working together, a networking group can help its members generate more qualified sales leads and solve problems faster and more efficiently.

Sharing ideas, expertise and experience is also an invaluable aspect of motivation and self-improvement.

Your own personal group of creative business owners will help re-energize you when the burdens of running your creative business, as a business seems too much.

Business stuff can be easy for a creative team, or an albatross around a single artist’s or writer’s neck.

With your networking team to rely on, you can accomplish more in less time and probably have more fun in the process.

You will feel motivated to self-improve more when you know you are not alone, and your shared goals feel worthwhile.
