I just found you. You spoke to my heart. I was a kid of the 80’s. I heard the same messages and deviated from my design degree and had been wandering through different careers. I have come full circle and having a young child I didn’t want anyone to tell them that they couldn’t do something including myself. My mindset has been changed and the road back to art has been healing. Thank you from a new subscriber….❤🎉😊
Hi, 3 months ago I bought paints , brushes... because I wanted to encourage my friend to return to painting. Unfortunately without success. Instead, I started my adventure with painting . Regards
Your inspiring! Like you I graduated in Fine arts, graphic design and fashion illustration but the judgement and opinions and doors closing made me rethink my art. So I stopped and worked at other proper jobs and raised my boys...This year I realized my path was always to be an artist and I'm back doing my art, sharing it on instagram, opened a small store on line and now starting a TH-cam channel. I'm happy ❤
I loved this video! Thank you so much for your advice and wisdom, I think we are truly blessed to live in an age where experienced people's advice is available for everyone.
Thank you, you're so welcome. I completely agree, it's amazing to have so much at our fingertips and never a better time to be able to grow and learn. All the best with your creative journey 💫
Hi Paula, I'm also from Dublin and I think we're about the same age. Everything you said really resonated with me! I'm currently a part-time art student and trying to get my career off the ground so I just want to thank you for making this video ❤ inspiring and encouraging!😊
Jenny that's great to hear and have a fellow Dubliner along the journey. All the best with your art course & getting things off the ground. Thanks so much for your kind words! X
Thank you! I am currently struggling with my fear of rejection and getting the confidence to put my art out there. I am blessed to be surrounded by a tribe of supportive women who are encouraging me to get out there.
@@emmasingleton1342 Fear is a biggie, as long as you don’t let it hold you back. There’s something so powerful about women supporting women, glad you’ve got a good group to encourage you along 💫
Thank you for this video. It is so difficult to get out of our heads and stop imagining that we are the customer. Everyone is different and loves different kinds of art.
I'm Also over 40.. Been trying to get my art going for years.. I have been struggling cause of the fear of people not wanting to buy my art (It's to expensive, But people really like it) . I have sold many of my Best paintings as low as 20 dollars in the past.. That was painful for me and hurt my heart. I'm trying to get my heart back in the right place where I will be brave enough to try again at selling my art.. It's a endless battle between my heart and my thoughts of the past. I thank you for this video. I really appreciate hearing your experience. I think this video is gonna give me a push in the right direction!!
So glad it’s helping you. Fear can hold us back in so many ways. Mindset is everything when it comes to pricing work. You are a badass at making money by Jen Sincero is a great book that might be of interest to you 😊
Another lovely video, I used to be in this mindset and had no concept of worth but gradually over the years that has shifted greatly. Thankyou for the reminder to keep valuing myself 🧡🙏🏾
I'm 36 but just found you and subscribed! My journey as an artist (as an author and photographer, too) has been a long journey. Similar experience about money growing up. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thankyou Paula….Great advice and agree 100%. I’m a 43 year old Artist in Sydney on the precipice of becoming full time when it feels like the odds are stacked against at me as a solo mum living in an expensive city. I can see how it’s possible…getting there slowly.
So generous and inspiring. I relate to everything you describe about your beliefs around money and have spent years getting up the courage to make that leap (still in progress). Thank you for the inspiration!
Paula the struggle is real when it comes to "money" - on one hand I would like to have more than enough, on the other hand, I have a hard time taking money for my art/skills! Argh! Thank you for this video and I will explore the new mindset to adopt as my own.
Thanks for sharing. I think like lots of things it’s a learned skill, that for the most part we haven’t been taught. Check out the books I mention or I wrote an ebook that might be helpful, link in the show notes. Once you start working on your limiting beliefs it will start to change for you. All the best 💫
This actually made me cry! Thank you. As I listened to you , it all resonated deeply. Limiting beliefs have held me back so much and for so so long. You’re inspiring!
Hi Lori, thank you sending hugs & perhaps check out some of the books I suggested or I’ve also written an ebook that’s linked in the boys which might be helpful. Go easy on yourself xx
Hi Paula, I’m also from Dublin and not in the first flush of youth!! However, life gives us a deep well to draw from that only becomes apparent the more work you make. I really got great value from your thoughts and recommendations in this video and they came at the perfect time for me. So thank you! It’s nice hearing a familiar accent talking about this stuff - usually it’s an American or other accent and the context is different in other countries. We grew up with very similar attitudes to money and they definitely are worth challenging! The Artist’s Way book also has some good exercises in it that help clarify your attitude to money and the price you pay for those limiting beliefs. Thanks again. 🙏
@@chilli_bean_23 Thanks so much! Great to have a fellow Dub here & totally agree about hearing a familiar accent on here. Shur look we need many different voices isn’t that right 😉 The artist way is such a great book and tool. 👏👏
Thank you very much. Verry inspiring and gives the little kick in the A.. to continue believing in myself and grow my own TH-cam channel. Thanks Paula!
Yes perhaps you’re right if you’re feeling stuck a revisit might be helpful. I’ve written an ebook that might be of interest & helpful, the link is in the show notes. All the best! ✨
So true, i always put a lower price on my work to make sure i sell it and it doesnt even work sometimes! Thanks for all your tips, its so great when we can all help and support each other . I am a very impatient person but i really need to be as its just not helpful!! Thanks again, i love your cards what a great idea ❤
Fear is the mind killer…(Dune). I know it and yet…it’s so hard to be vulnerable. Nevertheless, I LOVE your information and candor, the card you showed, etc. And your art is brilliant! Bravo! Oh, and your hairstyle is lovely too.😊
Hi Paula - thank you so much for this video....well all your videos! I am currently just at the stage where I would like to start sharing my work...and work towards selling. I have so many buried beliefs which I know come from my upbringing, but I will try your exercise! I am also really interested in the process you went through to produce your affirmation cards, as this might be something I'm interested in creating.. would you consider making a video on this? I look forward to your next one!
Thanks so much so glad it resonated! It’s a journey that for sure. Reading some of the books I suggested, I also wrote an ebook that might be of interest, with a link in the show notes. I’ll certainly give your suggestion about the affirmation cards some consideration. Thanks for sharing 😊✨
Gday from Australia. There are some great techniques psychologist have for becoming aware of your beliefs and mindsets. I've loved self hypnosis recordings for many years. It can sound a bit ,you know, but it can have a really positive effect. Great video of some quality healthy advice here. Thankyou. I haven't even tried to post any work online yet but I'm definitely building a catalogue of finished work with that in mind. 🤍🙏

This is such beautiful advice. I loved watching you prepare your painting to ship and the Wonder Cards.
Thanks so much for your kind words Jamie 😊
Wow, this post is so powerful! Thank you, Paula!
You’re so welcome Suzanne 😊
Cheers Paula! I've read a few of the books you mentioned. A very long time ago though. Maybe I need to get them out again. All the best.

Would love to know who printed the cards.
Just Subbed. Very inspiring thanks
Thanks so much! I got them printed in Italy. Probably somewhere closer to you that could do similar 🤍
theres just too many artists. its the law of diminishing returns
It’s so easy to fall into this mindset, I’ve been there before
Sorry but not enough time to read your notes on the shown cardboard and you need to hold them still please😍
Thanks for the feedback, still learning here, will keep it in mind for future
You know you can pause the video?
