My 2019 Goals as an Artist | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 55

Hi there, Liron here! Today I want to talk to you about my 2019 goals as an artist (and perhaps as a person in general!).

First off – I wanted to wish you a fantastic 2019. I hope you achieve anything you set out to. Also wishing you lots of health and happiness.

So now – let’s get started!

My 2019 goals are divided into to groups – big goals and small goals.

Big 2019 Goals

These are main, essential goals that encompass my long term vision.

1. To reach a “Godlike” level of creation.

That was the best way I found to phrase it. I want to create are that contains shards of divinity, perfection and the ideal.

In other words – I realized how important it was for me to improve my creative skills. This poses a challenge – how can I work even harder on my skills, and still be fully productive in all the other areas.

I still cannot answer that question fully. But what I do know is that this one is very important to me.

2. Complete control of my personal and business finances.

I say personal AND business, but I’m aware that the focus really is on the personal. In 2018 I created a lot of order and organization in how I manage my finances, and a part of it is getting a firm to do that for me (;

But now I want to be more in control of how much I’m actually spending, in relations to my expenses.

This is mainly so that I can save and invest for the future.

3. Share my knowledge and create a legacy.

This is a direct continuation of what I’ve been doing in the past 2 years. Only now I know exactly how to phrase it.

This is basically publishing tons of content online.

This year, however, I’ll start being more active on LinkedIn, and also get back to Pinterest, which I completely abandoned for the last two years.

There are also some other platforms I’m planning on putting more emphasis on, and I generally want to DO MORE everywhere.

Small 2019 Goals

These are smaller goals that are still important for me.

1. Become a YouTube master.

This means improving my content significantly, and becoming one of the best channels out there.

2. LinkedIn.

Already mentioned previously. But it was still important for me to write this one separately. LinkedIn has more meaning to me than just another social platform. This is a symbol of me starting to take my personal brand in a more business-related direction, and not just are.

3. Taking the interactions with my audience to a face-to-face level.

This means giving lectures and doing talks and keynotes. This will require some serious work on my part. We’ll see how it goes! (:

4. Nurturing and deepening relationships with my friends and family.

Working so hard for the past several years, I’ve always tried to ensure I balance my work with my personal relationships. This year I want to also make sure I continue developing those.

Better Way to Phrase my Vision

These goals aren’t that different from what I’ve been doing.

But I do thing they are more accurately phrased to match my long term vision. And that’s important.

The more they match it, the easier it will be for me to see the connection, and work towards them with stronger motivation.

And the workload is coming.

I started writing everything down today, and breaking down the goals into tasks. It’s remarkable how much work I’m going to have this year.

But I’m ready for it!

And now we are also ready for the artist corner.

Artist Corner

Today I talked about a Spanish artist named Manel Plana.

Manel is a watercolor painter. I was recommended to check out his work by a follower on YouTube, and boy – is he amazing!

Manel has this very loose, almost abstract impressionistic style. But it’s SO REALISTIC when you take a few steps back!

I highly recommend you check out his work on his website (he has quite an active blog, it seems!): Manel Plana

Why I Love Q4 – Last Push for 2018-2019 | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 50

Hi there, Liron here and today I want to talk to you about why I love Q4 of the year!

Hard Work

To make a long story short – I see Q4 as an opportunity to work even harder than I worked for the entire year.

I like to start strong, then take it a little easier around July, and then pick up the pace again and go faster.

The main word I want to use for Q4 is MORE. I like to use this opportunity to JUST DO MORE. More videos, more posts, more ads, more articles.

By doing that, I know I’m setting myself up to win at the start of next year.

Conclude 2018 & Plan 2019

This is also a good time to reflect on the successes of the year (so many wins in 2018!). It’s important to recognize these.

Then, it’s time to plan how to win next year.

My Goals: Recap

I have two main MACRO goals. These are probably things I will never fully attain, but will always feel.

1. I want to become one of the best watercolor painters and teachers in the world.

2. I want to inspire as many people as possible to create with complete passion and courage.

And that’s pretty much it for this one. Now let’s move on to the artist corner!

Artist Corner

Today I’m featuring Russ the rapper.

In the past I told you how I want to feature not only visual artists, but also musicians, actors, writers and so on. So now’s the time.

Russ’s favorite theme is of him doing it himself. No one signed him, no one put him on, and he built his own career with his two hands.

I can really relate to that. When you are just getting started – all you get is no’s. And it’s up to you to push through and hopefully stick it to the nay-sayers’ faces (;

Here’s my favorite song of his: Me You
