Progressive Failure

You probably have heard a lot about artistic organizations closing their doors . . .

You may be hearing from your fellow artist about how hard it is to book a singing gig, or sell their latest painting

And you may be tempted to blame their woes on the economy.

Just remember that many of the challenges they are facing now began with choices they made years ago.

For many of them, this economy just revealed the cracks that were formed way back.

So as you go about your current decision making ponder this:

Are you planning for the long term?

Or has the economy scared you into only thinking about today?
