As a goal minded kind of gal, I love planning for the future, day dreaming and finding ways to make things happen. For years I chased big (unattainable) goals that were all about fast results and I failed over and over again! It wasn’t until I began setting small attainable daily goals that I created lots of momentum in my life. I’m not saying to stop dreaming big but sometimes small steps will lead to amazing things!
With the new year upon us, today I wanted to share some of the best advice I can give about setting goals!

Perfect video for today and planning for 2019! Thanks so much!
This was SO good! I do not have the goal of being a professional artist, but I do want to get better and better at art, so my little goals are to practice every day -- sketch, draw, paint, look at my surroundings, see things from a creative view -- daily. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Alisa. Happy New Year and I hope you have many goals and dreams realized this year.
Thank you, Alisa! I’ve been trying to build my own creative business for a long time. My biggest problem is that I get discouraged and then get stuck and then just quit doing anything for weeks...or months...I’ve been on a roll this past year, and like you, determined that that big break may never happen but I can take steps daily to still reach my goals! Thank you so much for the video...just what I needed to hear today! May this coming year bring much success to you and your beautiful family!
Happy New Year! I love to goal set too & especially like your ideas about setting small attainable goals. Wishing you great success in 2019.
This was everything Alisa! So glad to have found you and your work and words. So comforting to hear someone mention failure and small steps as I was feeling so over whelmed to start this year. I have been freelancing in surface pattern and illustration for 10 years. Selling, licensing and freelance projects and commissions but the last 2 years things have not been working for me at all and I have made no money for the 2nd year running and coming into this year feeling like 'I just can't have another year like the last!' I know I need to plan and set goals BUT I still don't know what I want to achieve so I am finding it hard to find my focus right now and all I feel is panic 'must set goals' 'must get going''must,must, must have a bigger better year!' but I hope what you said will help me to Appreciate where I am and do tiny things each day...like a drawing in my sketchbook etc. and chip away. It's what I was saying 6 months ago thinking I would have a huge brilliant body of work to go out and sell this year...but guess what? I procrastinated! Thanks for being awesome!
Thank you for this very useful video. Love your creative journey !
