I've been a fan of Miss Piggy for as long as I can remember. Recently, she came up in some odd conversation and I came to the conclusion that she is a great role model for artists. She has many traits that will serve artists well in building their business. The best way to understand my point is to consider Kermit as the art business and not as a frog. Miss Piggy LOVED Kermit. She would do anything for him. Anyone or anything that seemed to be a threat to her froggy and it was "watch out for the pig!" time. She wasn't afraid to go head to head for the one she loved.
When Miss Piggy was with Kermit, she sure could turn on the charm. She basked him in her love, affection, complete focus and attention. She also believed unequivocally that Kermit loved her, too. She had unwavering faith in their destiny to be very happy together. Now consider "Kermit" as your art business. Hopefully, your business will return the love in the form of creative projects, rewarding experiences and don't forget - income. On days when inspiration isn't flowing, it might feel like your business doesn't love you and is actually trying to avoid you as Kermit so often did to Miss Piggy.
On those days, ask yourself these three very important questions:
1. Are you as laser-focused and attentive to your business as Miss Piggy is to Kermit?
2. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to keep it safe and make it prosper? Can you channel Miss Piggy's 'karate chop / no holds barred' attitude when things get tough?
3. Do you have the passion in your soul for your art business, that Miss Piggy has for Kermit? If you can say an unequivocal YES to all three questions, you are on your way to a bright, creative future. If you ever feel down or unsure of what to do, just say to yourself, "What would Miss Piggy do?" I promise, she won't fail you!
