Faux Painting for Profit

It all just seems so hard to do! Getting your ideas together and starting a business can be so frustrating that you may just want to throw up your hands and give up. It's happened to all of us and we all just want to know how to start business painting murals… You need Goals!

Set Goals and You Will Find Starting A Mural Business Easier

Goal setting determines your path to success. Success is determined and measured by the goals you have accomplished. Here are some tips on how you can set and achieve your goals:

1. Put your goals into writing. This will serve as your commitment to the goals that you have set. Studies have shown that goals are more motivating when you write them down rather than just thinking about them in your head. Be sure to include an action plan with finish dates.

2. Check Your Goals Daily. By checking you goals daily you will give yourself a regular progress report. A self evaluation is necessary. No one else is accountable but you. If you aren't keeping up with goals you have set for yourself… rethink the plan. 
3. Take action. A goal is nothing but a pipe-dream if you do not do something to accomplish it. Based on your daily check in, you can either continue or change your present action plans. If one planis not effective, then find other ways to achieve your goals.
4. Get Motivated. The best way to stay motivated is to share your goals with your family and friends. They can motivate and support you in achieving your goals. They can also help you in your action plans and even remind you whenever you tend to forget the goals you have set.
5. Stay Determined.  You should always feel confident that you can achieve your goals. It is important, however… that you set goals that are realistic and can be achieved. If you set goals that are so lofty you may never get past dreaming… and you do want to start a business painting murals… don't you?

I just received new photos from a mural painter that set her goals and has a very busy painting business.

I just completed this mural for a nursery occupied by 16 month old triplet boys.  They are so adorable.  I had a great time listening to all the action while I was painting. 

The client wanted something that her boys could grow with.  We took some ideas from a few pictures that we found over the internet.  She wanted a large colorful lighthouse, sailboats, and seagulls.  She loved the way the mural came out.  It only took me 2 days, so I am happy that I will have the rest of the week to spend at home.
