302 A simple tip to help you focus

Are you someone who writes down your goals for the year or do you question if this ritual actually gets you the results you want?   How about writing down your "word for the year"?   Do these practices really make a difference or are they just busy work to remind us what we didn't accomplish since last year? Do they only make sense at the beginning of a new year or can they still make a difference in any month you choose?   I'll be honest, I was skeptical for a long time about whether this kind of specificity around my goals and intentions was actually helpful, then I gave it a try and realized it's a game changer.   In today's episode, I share with you why I decided to not only choose a word for the year but to share it publicly.   I talk about how these simple practices can help you gain clarity year after year, no matter when you implement them how that clarity can help you know exactly what to focus on next the powerful intentions a single word can cultivate for you and what mine are for the word I choose this year   Excited to hear about our upcoming in-person Art event in Los Angeles?

Om Podcasten

Marisa Anne Cummings, a Los Angeles based artist + author + entrepreneur, actually started the Creative Thursday podcast in 2006. What? what! how is that even possible? And yes! she wishes she had kept it going after all these years. Yet as a small business owner, maybe you can relate? choices needed to be made, and a passion for painting and continuing to build her art business became her focus. Cut to over a decade later, armed with SO many more lessons learned, and a - can no longer be suppressed - desire to share them with you! Marisa is ready to make a return to one of the first creative mediums she loved, podcasting! Even more fired up than before, Marisa is looking forward to picking up where she left off on her creative journey through both - one her favorite things to do - having thoughtful, inspiring, keeping it real, conversations with fellow Creatives + Business Owners along with offering her own perspective as an artist and entrepreneur, traversing this online world. We’re talking everything from life + business + creativity + entrepreneurship.
