One Year to Five Year Goals

Module by: Mark Maxey

Summary: In this module we examine what our intended one to five year goals are for our art.

Your job here is to take your steps, goals, and dreams, and make a one year game plan. Where do you want to be in one year 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.

This might take some time, but quickly list what your dreams would be for yourself and your art in a year 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.

Again stretch yourself to improve past the six month goals you previously set. You should move farther along and past your expectations of your six month goals. This will assist you to refine your step by step process.

Dreams can become reality, it just takes time, determination and work.
