There Are No Small Victories
Wednesday is Business Series
Post 13
On the road to success, every step that’s taking you forward is a victory in itself. Every day that you keep going, every new thing that you discover, every moment you stay present and show up – all collectively, and individually – are what it takes to create a dream, or rather to transform it from a vision to life.
Particularly crucial are the days when you persist through something that is challenging and demanding your focus elsewhere. And even though you tend to all those life’s necessary details, your focus comes back to the job at hand – to your dream factory.
This post celebrates one such victory which I always knew was coming, but I had to remain present and patient with the timing.
Ever since I had chosen a different career path, and gave up the world of art exhibitions – I knew that parting is only temporary. Of course, I didn’t know the separation will be all of eight years long, but in those years I had grown as a person and as an artist in many ways. Perhaps that was necessary in order to resume on my own path, as I had to collect many, many tools for my tool belt: in all my communications, negotiations, deep confidence – but also, I had to reach a place of spiritual connection with my inner being, and the unquestionable resolve that I will take on board everything I can learn, but that the guidance I will follow will always come from within.
Last two years have all been in preparation for the next few months. After my employment ended suddenly, I didn’t have a plan – I just knew there is no going back. I had to seize the opportunity with both hands. Now I have reunited with the knowledge that we create the opportunities in our life, but two years ago this was a life-saving line. A sink or swim moment. Only one possible choice – the choice that changed everything….
Indigo & Verdigris was born out of passion, a marriage of art and design, and a union of quick thinking and practical solution to a real question. I had to do what I knew so that I can secure survival – but fine art seed that I carried and looked after for several years was starting to awaken and grow still under the surface. Sometimes you just know that you have to reach the highest summit and then spread your wings to their full span. It’s worth waiting for that moment, even though this waiting was full of action steps that were taking me to the destination dream.
I have shared in a few posts that I am working on a brand new collection of aquarelle paintings, my proper come back onto the art scene. The personal brand I have been creating so far will merge and take the lead from the fine art, as I intend everything that is part of my design brand to have the exclusive stamp of fine art that is Indigo & Verdigris brand.
One step closer and a victory we can celebrate together, if you will join me, my friend is the creation of the fine art website. To stay in the know and be the first to hear about the launch, as well as some behind the scenes news and shots that I will not share anywhere else but with the VIP community, check it out here and make sure to subscribe. I am already thinking of several surprises, which I am going to spoil you with - very soon.
To recap, now I am simultaneously working on creating the aquarelle collection and creating the website so that they are both ready when the time comes. This promises to be unlike anything you have seen, please make sure you don’t miss it. And for all of you interested in how to make your fine art into a successful business, without chasing, selling and being pushy, but by standing in your authenticity and holding space for those who want to come and feel the light of love – I will be recording my progress right on this blog, as promised. All the way to it, and far beyond that goal.

Today I had to slow down, there was not even much choice in it. I am just cautious not to make matters worse – having allowed myself to run into exhaustion. Well, I do learn all the important lessons, though it seems I have to learn them one by one and repeat some of them until I get it. Recording it is one way of making sure I don’t ever do something like this again to myself. And it is a promise my friend, that I will properly structure my days to allow time for proper breaks during my working hours which currently (and have been like this for the past 18 months) run as a minimum from 11 AM till 11 PM, if not longer.

Feeling grateful that my mind is still functioning and that I was able to carry on working on creating the website, which is a huge victory – refer to the whole post above this update.

I am trusting that couple of days of slower tempo will help me recover fully in time for the weekend. But we shall see, and I will certainly keep you updated. Sorry for the brevity, but there isn’t much more that needs to be said.
