How to Set your PURPOSE GOALS in your Art and Design Business

Setting goals is easy and setting purpose goals will need more of your time to plan and to reflect on why you want to set those goals in the first place?. Successful goals come from within you and it will empower and motivate you to achieve your outcomes, this is the reason why at ArtSHINE we would like you to first define your DPP “Desire, Passion and Purpose” (part 1 & 2)So get very specific with your goals. Be very clear on what it is that you want.

Visualise what it is that you’re aiming for. And remember to write your goals in the present tense as if you have already achieved it too. Setting your purpose goals with passion is something you can accomplish in a reasonable amount of time. Your goals should not take you years to achieve, because then you’ll get discouraged. Your head chat will be telling you “I am not getting anywhere and it is too hard too much work”. So you give up and work on other things besides your goals. This is how procrastination comes about.

To help you get started, here are some of the questions that you can work on before you select your purpose goals.

1. What is one thing you would like to change about yourself and your business lifestyle?

2. Suppose you succeed in accomplishing this change. How would things be different for you and your business lifestyle?

8. In what situation do you want to be able to do this?

9. How much or how often would you like to be able to do this?

10. Looking at where you are now and where you’d like to be, are there some steps along the way to get from here to there?  If so, rank them in an ordered  list from :
