New Year Face Painting Goals

So it is a custom in the states (and maybe around the world? I am learning to think more globally in these threads! Love it!) to make goals a the new year.

I have LOTS of goals and normally I fail on at least 1/2 of them---BUT this year my goal is to paint 100 faces for money and have at least 5 pay by hour events.

I know for many of you, that is a drop in the bucket, but for me that is huge!

SO--WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
Big or small lets hear your face painting goals!

Mine is to do a festival and master one strokes/ tear drops!

Mine is to work to toward "Growing" my business also working toward being at my paying job half time, and my business half time. I may have to retrain for a new career as my job doesn't permit too much part time work. I may go back to school to become a travel consultant or something that allows more Face Painting / Entertainment Business time.

my goal is to get into 1 or 2 restaurants, and 5 carnivals/festivals

I want to get through the year... without anymore house repairs. Insurance adjuster called today to give me our claim number and the phone number of the restoration company to call to come and assess the damages...

my goal is to get my FIRST payed gig this year!!!

I didn't make any resolutions as such but my goals are to grow more as a face painter and a craft artist.

2013 is the year that i'll pick up my facepainting !

I've subscribed for a couple of courses to learn more

I saw that nick wolfe is coming to the netherlands to give a course ( if nothing goes wrong with his brother offcourse ) but 150 euro is a little bit out of my price range so hopefully in 2014 haha

Hi Daphne , which courses are you going to do! The workshops @ Saskia de Wit???

And where in Holland do you live?

oosterhout and indeed at saskia de wit

mijn engels is echt belabberd hihi sorry

Haha dat komt wel naarmate je meer posts plaatst hier .
Well, maybe we will meet eachother there then.
Have a look at the PM!

I am from Drunen, do you know it!

My business goal is to get two Kids Night restaurnat gigs so I make money DURING the week with face painting. Personal goal is to lose 20 lbs (not easy at my age and I like food!! lol)

First I want to be healthy again and after that seriously pick up my facepainting!
Hope customers will find their way back to me again!

I'd LOVE to make enough $ to cover the cost of my kit.
2013 goal: to break even! (LOL maybe I should stop spending then)

I share the same goal as Tina and Rebons! And I to hope l!zzie gets healthy so she can continue to share her amazing art with us

My face painting goal is to break out of the BOX I am in. I feel like I have reached a threshold- where I am good at what I do, but I have stopped learning as much/as fast. I want to get off this dang plateau and keep improving.
Goal: to do more practice. I work a lot, but pick up brushes only rarely at home.
Also, I want 10 off face paintings this year (canvas or mural)

* Finally take a workshop class at some point.
* Do a really nice cat/tiger mouth (I'm not good with those)
* Come up with a design of my own
* Do really good tattoo style roses.
* Build up my kit

I have a few... this year I WILL finally paint a full body.
I would also like to enter a body painting competition.

I want to meet lots of other artists this year

I want to refine my kit. And streamline my set up for bigger gigs.
Learn one stroke roses!
Keep all bookings and everything else in life more organised.

Stop sweating the small stuff, Keep Calm.
Remember all the things I love about painting!

Oooh, I'd love to see a Daizy bodypainting!!! I'm sure it'll be amazing and read all you!

One of my goals this year, and soon, is to require a contract and deposit for my bookings.
Do more face painting tutorials on YouTube.
To enter into each Face Paint Forum Challenge!
To paint as much as I can!

Happy New Year everyone!

My facepainting goal for this new year is to get more facepainting gigs than I get cake orders!! I would like to move away from my cake business and just do the facepainting. Last year I made about $6,000 with selling cakes, I made almost $3,000 with just 3 gigs this past summer, so I'm hoping to do less cakes and many more gigs! (then I can justify buying more paint, and start selling off the millions of cake pans, boards, pillars, etc I own lol)

My goal this year is to pick up 2 more restraunt gig..I have 2 now..one is all the and the other in during the summer months..Im working on the 2 new ones now just waiting to hear back..

I would also love to pick up more coprorate picinics this year I did 7 last year and they all want me back. I would also love to learn more Balloon twisting techinques...

I also am signed up for 2 workshops next month..one with pashur and jay and the other with Gina Neimi

looks to be a great year...I wish the best for the rest of you...good luck and keep a postive attitude it will happen...

My goals for this year are

-- practice more. I want to do multiple full faces a day, plus the basics.

-- actually marketing. Starting with business cards and a website.

-- on a personal level, I'm hoping to have weight loss surgery. That's going to involve lots of changes, obviously.

TINA--we all want to know $1000 for 3 gigs--where they PPF?

LOVE THESE GOALS--You guys are totally motivating me!

yep, they were festivals.....they weren't SUPER large ones either (few thousand people) and I was charging $8 for masks and $4 for one eye/cheek art and I had a line non-stop (and I don't even paint that well)...go figure??

awesome! How wonderful---You have totally inspired to me get some festivals under my belt---OH really I am SO EXCITED NOW!!
