We are down to the home stretch in our workbook. We now start to outline the place we want to be in six months with our art. The young man I was assisting once with music had decided he wanted to be performing live on a weekly basis in six months. His step by step plan included four hours of practice a day, writing two songs a week, and perfecting his stage presence. So part of his six months goal was by the end of six months to be performing once a week at a venue representative for his art market. He wanted to have 12 songs prepared for recording and a web site developed promoting his music. His six month goals helped him choose a game plan for a daily and weekly schedule. This also gave him a goal to work towards.

Your job here is to take your steps, goals, and dreams, and make a six month game plan. Where do you want to be in six months from today with your art? Be realistic but don’t lessen this by not having motivated goals. The more we reach with our abilities the stronger our art will become. Stretch those art muscles! This might take some time, but quickly list what your dreams would be for yourself and your art in six months. You can modify or edit them at any time, but it is best to have certain obtainable goals set. As with all exercises with this workbook, you must be realistic and honest with your abilities and time. So choose well, but reach for the dream you desire. No one else but you can do this. Question: Where would you like to be in 6 months with your art? Question: How will you measure your progress? Question: Can you recruit a comrade to help in your accountability?
