Beyond Trial & Error: A Smarter Way to Build a Thriving Art Business
Beyond Trial & Error: A Smarter Way to Build a Thriving Art Business

For years, I ran my art business part-time, navigating a maze of trial and error. Chasing that elusive moment of “figuring it all out.” When I discovered Lettering Works and Chelsie’s Self-Made Artist Academy I didn’t just learn—I gained clarity, built intentional offers, and found my "yes" routes.

Finding Growth in Quiet Moments: What 5 Minutes of Daily Silence Taught Me
Finding Growth in Quiet Moments: What 5 Minutes of Daily Silence Taught Me

Finding Growth in Quiet Moments: What 5 Minutes of Daily Silence Taught Me

I started taking 1-5 minutes of daily quiet time, setting an alarm for 2:30 p.m. These moments of stillness—whether through a silent walk or simply sitting quietly—have brought unexpected insights and growth.

Wayne Dyer said, “Everything that's created comes out of silence.” I found this true as I discovered positive messages like “trust yourself” and “slow down.”

Quiet time has helped me remember tasks, listen to my body and mind, and slow down, showing me that not everything is urgent. Surprisingly, just 5 minutes a day expanded my mental space, revealing the power of stillness.

Even with summer distractions, my 2:30 p.m. alarm remains a small but impactful commitment. I invite you to take a few minutes each day to listen to yourself and discover growth in quiet moments.
