Remember the three little pigs? Sure you do. The moral of the nursery rhyme was simple: build your house right the first time and it won’t be blown over.
In the arts, we’ve all heard this advice before. It’s the quality of our work that brings people back. We’ve watched suspiciously as performers with gimmicks shoot to the heights of fame for a few brief moments; but it’s only quality work that helps ensure a long, prosperous career.
Or in other words, using three little pigs speak: If you’re building your house, make it brick.
I’ve often heard financial planning referred to by professionals as a house. A foundation laid on the sandy ground of debt and scattered income is bound to fall later. For the average person, building consistent, dependable income and paying down debt are jobs number one and two.

Hundreds of you joined us for a conversation about living life powerfully as artists who CHOOSE to create the success you desire (and deserve) in every area of your lives. We suspected there would be a few motivated artists who might dive into the material, but we just weren’t prepared for the number of calls and emails we’ve received, sharing your questions, experiences and victories–we’ve never seen the group this fired up before! It seems we really struck a nerve!
