The Art of Peace

2011-11-26T07:26:00.000-08:00

I have been feeling
a great deal of freneticism in the last couple of days ?

....and you ?

Thanksgiving is a day and a weekend
where in the past we have unplugged for 4 or 5 days
to enjoy family, feasting and relaxation......

and in the last couple of days I have
more frustration on the other end of the phone
than normal.

and YOU ?

Make time for peace, personal reflection, relaxation
and rest.

Give yourself the freedom to open your mind to the unlimited nature
of nature itself......

You'll rest, you'll remember
that there is always a tomorrow......
and for today....and for now.....

take time to smell the roses....

and the roast turkey sandwiches......

SALES is NOT a Four Letter Word

2011-11-14T14:28:00.000-08:00

Newsflash !!!!!

If you are an entrepreneur....

Sales ARE your income ....

Do you have an income from your business ?

Are you satisfied with your current income ?

Do you have a fabulous product ... ?

and ARE you waiting for someone to come along

who will take it to market and SELL it for YOU ????

Sound Familiar ?

I cannot tell you HOW many people tell me

"I HATE Sales !"

and then they ask me to SELL it .... what ever IT is ......

for them......

So I take a look at what they've got

The product, the service, the concept.

and RARELY has anyone done ANY market research

RARELY has anyone branded their product

RARELY have they tested the market

RARELY have they designed a marketing strategy

RARELY have they priced for both wholesale and retail sale.

RARELY do they know what their competition is......

and RARELY are they willing to pay the fees

required to accomplish

all of the above....

yet have an expectation that I would be willing

to SELL their product or service for them.........

So what if I let you in on a little secret,

One that helped me to create a significant number of new sales

for my company.....

AND it requires only that I adopt three little words.

Would you be interested ?

First thing to know is that

Sales is NOT a Four Letter Word....

In fact if you're watching programs like Shark Tank, Dragon's Den....

Hoping and wishing that someone would find value in your company and its

product or service.....and perhaps hoping someone will "invest" in your company........

One of the significant prerequisites to getting investment capital is PROVING

that you have had some rather significant sales....

So.....with that said

You MUST learn how to sell

You MUST overcome your fear of "selling"

You MUST learn how to "sell" that does not feel like a "sales" pitch.

And you MUST be willing to "take action" ~

SO......Would you be willing to learn a PROVEN method that

will absolutely increase YOUR sales ?

A proven method that will INCREASE Your SALES...

and not just your leads !!!

I know....

YOU HATE Sales !

What is GREAT to know IS.......

your sales are NOT about your website,

your sales are NOT about your social media influence,

and your sales are NOT about how many new leads you procurred today on Twitter.

Sales are NOT about any of these things

Sales are about KNOWING your product

and its VALUE

so well as to define that there is

NO other place on earth

one can get THIS product.

And in fact there may well not be any other product like it ON earth.

IT IS about YOUR special and unique Coaching practice!!!

IT IS about Your special and UNIQUE art form !!!

IT IS about Your extraordinary business service or Product !!!!!

Learn HOW to communicate clearly

What you do....

Why its valuable …

Why its Beneficial to secure and participate TODAY !!!

These three little things helped me grow a business from 200K

to over one million dollars in sales in less than one year !!!!

( We immediately disproved the LIE that there is NO money in the fine arts )

AND these tools may NOW

be applied to YOUR business !!!

This class USED to cost thousands of dollars

and was offered by professional consultants to

the STARS !!!

Learn this skill and not only will you GROW your business

YOU will be sought after by individuals, companies

products and services you provide )

Learning to SELL gives you SUCH an advantage in the jobs market too !
EVERYONE hates to sell
and if you will learn to LOVE it
it will give you such an advantage in so many ways.....
As a gallery owner I HAD to learn how to sell and to do so in way
that imparted comfort, and was done with delicacy.

Its not something you can learn to do ...... without some help...

the language of sales....

Imagine its much like the fun one has planning a most romantic date....

Growing Corn

2011-10-27T13:34:00.000-07:00

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."

Wait Til The Moon Is Full.....

2011-10-12T16:47:00.000-07:00

Wait Til The Moon Is Full........

Do you remember the title of that wonderful children's book ? It was my favorite when I was a little girl.....

It seems now prophetic that tonight a full moon, I am restless and without sleep. Yet the creative juices percolate and I am alive with creativity....

and discovery of just how to take a rather dramatic change in my business and my ability to conduct business with my floral design studio.....

location, and methodology has been forced to change due to the sale of the precious farm on which I lived.......

and tonight...... I've had an AHA ! I've long been fascinated by the you tube video “Nature by Numbers.” the spectacular video created to demonstrate the sacred geometry and mathematical equations in nature that are consistent, intelligent, and are the very core symmetry and cause for creation itself....

Sian Lindemann Photo

It has magic, consistency, constancy, and is one thing assured that one can trust will remain the same...a mathematical equation of perfection and sameness....... never wavering......never changing......and is the very base tone on which “life” rises... It is the core essence of life itself.....and tonight it speaks loudly.... You've known for some time my fascination with sunflowers and their extraordinary beauty.......

and tonight I have a profound AHA... “a perfect demonstration of why it is good to take time to get quiet, become still, quiet the noise.......turn off the computer, the tv, the phone and let nature speak ….

It always has the answer.......Always.... Its just a matter of whether you will Or in this case tonight …. I will listen.....

Sunflowers are mathematical in their nature, in their very construction and design..... AND they are food...... I understand too that sunflowers were planted in the area around Fukushima as I was informed that they soak up radiation and are able to transmute it....

I'll have to verify the transmutation statement.... However, tonight as I was peeling a $20 bag of fire roasted chilis...... and packaging them for the winter to have fresh green chilis throughout the winter I was taken by the sheer delight of harvest.... and how the simplest of foods can bring such happiness to my “state” I LOVE the flavors of the southwest. I love that they are abundantly available at my new “find” the local farmer's market on Sundays.....

What is more important is my awareness that sunflowers are abundant throughout the west and grow wild by the side of the road everywhere I have traveled in AZ, Colorado, New Mexico and environs... They withstand the cold in winter....to bloom again by volunteerism in late summer.....

Sunflowers are my new directive....... Will advise just what I'll do with them..... and for now please enjoy the photos captured in Washington and at the recently sold little farm on which I resided....

I was so very happy there and more so... I learned so much about myself and that which I truly love in life..... Now to apply that knowledge and “grow” my little flower business to beyond the bouquet....

With love and gratitude....in that listening to that persistent nagging internal voice has an intelligence that I could not begin to take credit for....

Its within all of us....one only need listen.... and it will guide you to the most perfect of days.......

and that is more than enough reason to smile.......broadly....!!!

It is the very reason and core purpose I've been committed to even in the promotion of the arts for so many years.......

Surely it is surprising to me to discover how very truly very few artists understand their connection to the natural world...... It is through art, however, and through my own work that I have delved deeply into this path of discovery......and it is through my art that I've found the connection and can articulate it …..

Pure joy....realized...... Viva New Mexico.....!

Original Thought

2011-07-21T20:24:00.000-07:00

Original Thought by Michael Brajkovich

“The arts and inventions of each period are only its costume, and do not invigorate men.”

Think of the last time that you thought, said, or did something that was original. What inspired or invigorated this?

#Trust30

Full Circle

I began this journey 10 years ago....to create a company and service

that would

illuminate, inspire and motivate as many artists as I could

so as to fill the world with so much beauty as to have NO room for fear....

Today I recieve a package from a student in the very first class I taught,

now ten years ago in Portland, Oregon.....

He went on to create 3500 individual pieces of art,

has now written sixteen art books, (with enough content left over for four more)

and has just completed writing a screen play

and story board for a series of short films about his visual vision

and personal philosophies on art, inspiration and the creative process.......

and has asked me to carry it forward.....I am humbled and fulfilled all in the same breath.....

and am so happy that at no point did I ever "really" give up on staying the course........

what a gift to have received this work......and this request.

I am SO honored....

and I am so abundantly overflowing with joy

that I did it....

that I did not quit....

His class at the University of Portland was the first....

because.....

after 3500 "pitches"

to art schools, arts organizations and associations nationwide....

offering the service to mentor and coach their members and students......

the University said yes....

and conducted a class for the first 100 students

which I taught....

and I asked them WHY they do what they do .....

And here....

The "noise" stops.....

I am fulfilled.

Its been quite a day.

2011-07-20T08:25:00.000-07:00

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.....

Sian Design 5 x 5
Sequence, Collaboration, Support, Laughter....and
A Decision

Just say Yes.....

If Your Intuition Were A Person

2011-06-23T15:27:00.000-07:00

"Intuition by Susan Piver
The Domino Project ~ #Trust30

The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you could picture your intuition as a person, what would he or she look like? If you sat down together for dinner, what is the first thing he or she would tell you?"

This is a powerful request....
As soon as I read the brief

I burst into tears...

and then by coincidence...
and how utterly perfect
did I pull up this blog post
which I had completely forgotten
that I had ever written...

http://siandesign.blogspot.com/2009/06/those-who-have-inspired-me.html

that which depicts one person who "moved" my soul
into an essential point from which to "rise"

He is an artist, designer, restauranteur from Calgary
with whom I developed a friendship and a "secret" and abiding
love life....

It was not,however, realized in "real" terms
but the prowess by which this
artist created....

so inspired and so moved my soul
and its expression
into form, color, music, movement, enchantment,
and rapture...
that all days forward of our meeting
were explosive creativity ...
realized.

I was never to be the same.
It was not ever to be "about" him as a lover or partner,
as that kind of exchange never found fruition....
yet,
I am not the same for the experience of knowing him....

I became More...
I became what I was intended here to be.
I fell deeply into love...
and into the expression of it, thereof...
through art as a painter, designer, photographer...
and many, many
forms....

I realized myself...
and my "muse" was my catalyst.

In him I saw myself
and it was
acknowledged ...
We...
are kindred spirits...

To think of him now...
brings tears to my eyes....
Joy to my soul...
and rapture to my expression....

and longing for that which is known
so purely in and of the heart.
That which is known so essentially to the soul...
and that which we allow to rest, sleep, lay dormant....
while thinking what we are doing

IS what is important....

and from this view

that effort
simply is
trite

and a most shallow attempt
at being human.

In this moment the well pool deepens
and is refreshing.
It is a reminder.

It is a memory
of what has always been
and will forever forever be
the quintessential core of truth,
and cannot be conveyed in words...
or in a glance....
but to the bottom of the toes is

known....
now and forever.
in this life, present,
past and future....

infinite, and oh so intimate.

Sian .... my name and my path... of Mayan Origin.....
meaning "Where the Sky is Born" and "gift"
And so it is.

Do You Mentor Others ?

2011-06-22T16:22:00.000-07:00

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 !

With a variety of tools both provided by Sian Design

Speak Less

and DO more perhaps.....

From The Domino Project

Speak Less by Laura Kimball

"What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know I. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I once received a fortune cookie that read: “Speak less of your plans, you’ll get more done.” What’s one project that you’ve been sitting on and thinking about but haven’t made progress on? What’s stopping you? What would happen if you actually went for it and did it?

(Author: Laura Kimball)"

THIS is what would happen....

Increible !!!

Living in Color ~ Sian Design Collections

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We live in a society of advice columns, experts and make-over shows. Without even knowing it, you can begin to believe someone knows better than you how to live your life. Someone might know a particular something better – like how to bake a three-layer molten coconut chocolate cake or how to build a website – but nobody else on the planet knows how to live your life better than you. (Although one or two people may think they do.) For today, trying asking yourself often, especially before you make a choice, “What do I know about this?”

(Author: Jen Louden) ~ From The Domino Project and #Trust30

The Best Thing to KNOW about the FACT that you KNOW is to also KNOW Trust ...
in that you KNOW best for yourself what you need next
or what you need to do.

Trusting yourself ....
Trusting your inner voice
can only come from practice...
as in this writing experiment and 30 day committment

Would you trust your inner voice if it told you to get on a plane
and go to LA today?

I did and had the opportunity to meet and interact with Tony Robbins LIVE
and in person.

Would you trust your inner voice if it told you to GET OFF the expressway
right here, right now...

I did and I found a company who WOULD take my meeting
with no appointment and got my handpainted scarves
in front of company AND a purchase order for 95 stores
who only purchased hand painted silk scarves ....
which is what I was selling at the time.

Would you trust your inner voice
if it told you not to work on what you were supposed to work on today
but to write the outline for upcoming world class "entertainment" event
that the world has not seen yet ???

I did and I am presenting it tomorrow to a world class entertainment
promoter.

One step closer to the dream LIFE
One that you live on YOUR terms....

How much would you risk to do so ?

Dreams by Michael Rad

Abide in the simple and noble regions of thy life, obey thy heart. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Write down your top three dreams. Now write down what’s holding you back from them.

Increible ~ A Multi Media Art and Entertainment Extravaganza
To Own My own home in which I now reside but am only renting.
To at long last get a handle on my health and a devoted exercise regimin.

GREAT time to ask this question
because TODAY after four years of chasing the dream
all three are becoming a reality.

It has taken more time, tears, labor and focus than
anything I have ever done before in my life....
and the outcome

More positive and fulfilling than anything I have ever done.

Thanks for asking

Dare To Be Bold

2011-06-07T16:57:00.001-07:00

Dare To Be Bold

Ralph Waldo Emerson Prompt from The Domino Project ~

I've never shied away from being bold.
The challenge for me
is to find a way to be bold while not feeling guilty
or feeling sad about those
that I sometimes have to leave behind while
continuing to blaze a trail.

The Dream and Large Scale Vision for me
is to create an entertainment concept that is a
cross between Cirque de Soleil and Imax Theaters...
Minus the "bendy" people...

Having posted, presented, pitched to JUST about everyone
ON earth...
while receiving somewhat the "deer in the headlights"
kind of response.....

TODAY.....June 7, 2011
I have the first indication of a source of capital
that may very well FIT the bill...

The plan...
Do it NOW...
NEVER give up on your crazy brilliant ideas.
and Live like this were you last day on earth.

Only then you will know you are truly ALIVE....

Thanks for asking !

Five Years

2011-06-07T14:31:00.001-07:00

"What would you say to the person you were five years ago?
What will you say to the person you’ll be in five years?"

To the person I was five years ago....."You don't need a man in your life to make you "whole" ~ My life and how I live it is what makes me whole....

Seeking partnership with a man, and approaching the quest something like a "business agenda" proved fruitful in a variety of ways.

I did fall in love...it was unrequited....it did, however, make me aware of just how much love I have in my heart and how very much I have to share....

and to those and with those who do not "get" me and and did not wish to continue a love affair with me...and my heart...I wish them well on their journey, for in that quest I found, at last, that I am enough.

It appears that I have many lessons to learn about letting go of attachment to those things that I love so dearly...yet as I learn this lesson I am more and more fulfilled by the simplest of exchanges....

I do still need and want resolution in certain circumstances...and if it is not
"given" with ease it is indeed troublesome to my heart....

I have learned that people impose GREAT pain on one another and I used to think they did not know the difference..... I think sometimes that they do know the difference...yet remain indifferent.

It is why and ongoingly that I fall more and more in love with plants and animals in the natural world...

One always knows where one stands.

As to what I would say to my future self....

This may indeed be one of the most selfish sounding things
ever uttered from my finger tips....

I've spent a lifetime helping others grow in their creative careers....
For this time....and in future years....I am going to be selfish for a while
and focus on that which pleases me "first"

Its a strange realization .... but I have SO much more
for others when I give myself
the benefit of the fruits of my labor first....

and I only realize this now...

In five years I will be 59 years old....and having just witnessed Kirstie Ally on Dancing With the Stars.....60 can be a time of renewal...and a continued committment to living life with GREAT gusto....

Sian Lindemann
Ralph Waldo Emerson Prompts
#Trust30

Post It

2011-06-04T08:02:00.000-07:00

The prompt today is a question asking how I might live a life of passion, doing what I love.
To be certain I am actually living that life now....
and I teach to hold myself accountable to being
a "product of my product"

It goes deeper than this for those who might find fear in pursueing an artistic career.
I want them to know that I'll never ask my student to do something that I haven't already
done...
I want to be able share the experience of my own path in order that it may also inspire others
for
What One Man Can Do..Another Can Do.....

Travel

2011-06-04T07:32:00.000-07:00

If we live truly, we shall see truly. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have traveled most of my life. In fact, just recently I retired my suitcases to a more bucolic life in living and working a "hobby" farm in NW Washington State.

There is, however, one destination to which I would love to travel....
Maachi Piichu in Peru is ON the list.....

I have long had a passion for Peruvian Paso Horses......
and the manner by which I determined to be able to travel to this destination
is in a way that is no different from how I have live my whole life.

Designing a way to pay myself to do what I want to do....
and the project is now ready for launch....

Are you ready for Increible ???

15 Minutes To Live

2011-05-31T19:16:00.000-07:00

15 Minutes to Live

Do it now !
There is nothing so terrifying
as to hold back the burning desire
that is in your heart
as to sit now at the end of my life and to have any regrets
would indeed change how at peace I feel knowing that I have
truly
LIVED

I've asked myself this question so often.....have I lived today?
and everyday I say the same thing....
I have lived.
I have risked.
I have loved.
I have no regrets

I have known the depth and breadth of my humanity.
and I love myself....

I am a treasure and I have treasured
every moment of my passionate connection
with source, with nature, and with that
that is the very essence of life.

And I have been blessed to have been able to "see"
I have been blessed to be able to recognize and know truth,
to know what is behind the words, behind the thoughts,
behind the actions.

To know...

It IS extraordinary, and beautiful
and rich

and ecstatic....

I am blessed..
I have been blessed
and I am a blessing to those who know me..

Beauty...
is the gift
I have been blessed to give unto the world.

The Starving Artist

2011-05-30T16:51:00.000-07:00

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.

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.....

Sian Design 5 x 5
Sequence, Collaboration, Support, Laughter....and
A Decision

Just say Yes.....

See you there on Thursday the 2nd of June at NOON
Send me an email sunstar3535@gmail.com
with YES in the subject line.......

and you're IN

How committed are YOU to your passion ?
I called 3500 arts organizations in 2001
before I got my first client ~

Then I got my first client who "came" with
100 participants .... a Fine Arts College in
the Pacific Northwest.

Since I only had one hour with the class
I offered a private 15 minute consultation to every
student...for FREE !!!

and was investigated by an "in house" spy from
the university because they thought I was going
to try and SELL other things to the artists.

Hmm.... I just thought it was called...
Doing a good job
