Creating a vision board can be a great way to “see” what your year looks like. Many times our plans and intentions get derailed, but if we have a visual representation of what our business can look like this year, then we can stay on track. This course is designed to guide you in creating a vision board for your art business at any time. It doesn’t necessarily have to be at the beginning of the year. Additionally, you can re-create your vision board at any time in face revisiting it is always a good thing. In the fast-paced Internet landscape, we need to stay nimble and that means plans sometimes change. But no strategy is a recipe for failure!
