    CRITICISM - how it stops us from doing our greatest work. Here I talk about why criticism stops us from doing our greatest work and how to handle it. My husband Drew received HARSH criticism back in the 1990's when he started a new way of painting surfboards. I talk about how that ended up, 30 years later. Recently he received criticism from cruel people when he shared his Near Death Experience on a popular Podcast (HERE). Mostly about his "Clint Eastwood" voice (it will never be the same after being on a ventilator for 3 months...) When someone is criticizing you, it comes from one of two places: 1 - they know more than you and it's a gift that you can learn from 2 - they are trolling you and they don't know what the "f" they are talking about! I go into all this - listen in and please:

    Have you been "ripped off" (unpaid) by a client that you did work for? Here I share how to AVOID being stiffed by a client after you did the work. And I have a suggestion as to how to handle it if it happened to you. An artist brought me this question after she painted a wall mural and the client would not pay her. This happens more often than you can imagine. That's why I never start a mural project without 50% up front and I do not leave the mural site until it's paid in full. And, proper communication up front, with written emails/texts showing client approval along the way, avoids this, as I share in this episode.

    Chaos = A state of utter confusion. This is what I've been feeling lately! (After nearly 5 months of not working because my husband was in a coma and on a ventilator...) What should I focus on doing next, when I have so many things to do, so many I WANT to do, but there just isn't time for it all?! In this episode I'm talking with my longtime friend and former business life coach Tish Gentili. I always call Tish when my life is in shambles! (And she always sets me straight.) I asked her to guide me and then I said, "why don't we make this a podcast?!" Topics discussed here today: How to reel in my utter confusion on what I should focus on! How to CHOOSE out of many things I want to do Outsourcing things that you can (except, don't outsource your crying!) Will Smith's hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars - how that ties into our messed up childhood and how we handle emotions Writing books - what stops us! Saying "this is so hard" and how it affects me What if I decide it's NOT hard Mindset shifts And sooooo much more! It's a long one. Hope you enjoy it! About my guest TISH GENTILI: Tish had coached me and my hubby Drew for over 12 months back in 2016 and it helped us break a huge financial barrier in our business. Her approach is scientific mixed with energetic principles; this works for me. :) To find Tish, here's her Linktree: https://linktr.ee/awakenedbadass For all my goodies, here's my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/mariabrophy Follow my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariabrophy/ My Podcast home page: https://www.brophyartacademy.com/podcasts/art-money-success-with-maria-brophy-designing-a-life-you-love Glad you came!

    The worst thing that could have ever happened to me, happened. You haven't heard from me lately because for 112 days my beloved Drew was in the hospital, fighting to stay alive. For 70 of those days he was on a ventilator and most of those days in an induced coma. Finally, after 5 months of this, I am back to work, rebuilding my life.... This episode does not have any art business tips in it. It's just raw, real life sharing of what happened to me and my family. My next podcast will be about work again. Thanks for caring! Maria xoxo

    What is that ONE THING you spend WAY too much money on?! And are you even aware of it?For me - it's wine. The older I get, the more expensive my wine gets. :) And at some point I realized I was spending more on wine than some people do on a car payment!This is why you need to track your finances. I never used to track my money flow in and out. BUT dang, once you start, it changes EVERYTHING!What you track EXPANDS. And, tracking it keeps you from spending where you don't want to spend.You don't need to GIVE UP things that are important to you; just give up the things that aren't. But you need to NOTICE where the money is going so you can make those conscious choices. AND: Investments vs. Expenses. If you're investing in your biz or your personal growth, it's not an expense, it's an investment.
