Growing Corn

A dear friend of mine on Face Book shared this wonderful story today....
From Lin Lopez ~ Portland, Oregon
Once again ........ a garden reveals its magic



"Growing Corn

There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn.

Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon...

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

The reporter asked, "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?"

To which the farmer replied, "Why sir, didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

The farmer was very much aware of the connectedness of life.

His corn could not improve - unless his neighbor's corn also improved.

And so it is for us all.

Those who choose to be at peace - must help their neighbors to be at peace.

Those who choose to live well - must help their neighbors to live well.

And those who choose to be happy - must help others to find happiness. The welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches."

of dollars.

The Starving Artist....No More

Are you ready ?

There is no yellow brick road to success in the arts.
After 30 years in the "for profit" arts industry, I have come to know only one truth.

You either want to succeed and you do
OR
You WANT to struggle and you do.



Jeff Schomay Graphic created exclusively for Sian Design
and Sian Design Presents


The most profound truth and advice that I can give is

"MAKE A DECISION"

You can have either, success or struggle, and it is a choice.

You can succeed which will mean alot of work, some sleepless nights,
a whole lot of creativity and a whole lot of faith in your capability.

Or you can struggle, which is alot of work, lots of sleepless nights,
a whole lot of creativity to keep thinking up reasons why you are failing,
and holding onto a belief that perhaps this is essential in order to "become"
valuable.

After 30 years, a whole lot of consultations with other artists, and alot
of activity in the promotion of my own art forms...the constant is but one thing

ACTION...

Take action ~ The Universe.....and less esoteric, "life" is always in motion.....
Discover what you LOVE....and of course you all know what those things are....

The things that you'll jump out of bed at 4 AM to do......and never have to be asked twice....

DO them....and then call me
We'll help you to monetize them.

The only thing you are missing is ONE thing

SEQUENCE....

I've been saying this for 30 years.
The right steps in the right order...make things happen....
Just like making YOUR "stuff"

and sort of like Sesame Street
and Making Chocolate Moose...

First you get the MOOSE
and then you put the chocolate ON THE MOOSE.......thus Chocolate Moose.....
and is of course different and unique from what we've come to know as
Mousse au chocolat.

Think Backwards.......
Find the result...
Walk backwards....

How did you get there....?
Creativity is an amazing thing....
It works in both directions.....

Do You Mentor Others ?

Do you have "certification" to do so ?

Are you looking for compensation for
the time, effort and energy
you put forth in mentoring and coaching others ?












I made a profession of consulting, coaching and advisement
to other people....
both to artists and to business professionals
who are seeking mentorship
in building their businesses,
in realizing their dreams....
and in living a more fulfilled and enriched life ~

And I LOVE what I do !
