Now that you have produced all this wonderful artwork, what do you want to do with it? In order to get the results you expect, what are your strategies for changing goals into reality? Talent aside, achieving success as a fine artist requires that you are able to communicate how what you do is different from anyone else. Often however, your window for communicating this information is 30 seconds or less. It is therefore crucial to your ultimate success to be prepared for all opportunities to present yourself, your work and your artistic interests and to be able to maximize the return on the first 30 seconds of any interaction. "The Essential First 30" addresses the obstacles to your success by providing you with strategies and tools necessary to identify and take advantage of quality opportunities for promoting yourself. Discussed and practiced will be your approach, your presentation and your close, all focused on your goals. Part One of "The Essential First 30" covers developing your 30 second or less presentation about who you are, what you do and why your listeners would want to know more about you.
