Today I’ve got Part 2 of the series “How Face Painters Can Thrive in Tough Times” for you and hopefully you’ve already read Part 1 of our series.

If you haven’t seen Part 1 click here to read it first)

Yesterday I mentioned how important it is to have the 3 M’s – the right mindset, manner and marketing and now I’ll give you more ideas on how to keep a successful mindset and manner before jumping into marketing.

I once heard a very successful marketer by the name of Armand Morin say that “Success Leaves Traces”.

Successful people all have things in common, and if you look close enough you’ll find them.

So, if you want to be successful at face painting, you need to find people who are already successful at it, and follow in their footsteps.

You should make it your mission to do whatever it takes to meet these people, learn from then in any way you can whether it be going to their classes, investing in their products or simply buying them a drink and asking them a few questions.

Once you find and meet other successful people in your field, keep in contact with them!

There are so many ways to keep in contact – email, phone, online forums, facebook,  blogs, the list goes on.

Surround yourself (online and offline) with successful and supportive people, not people who are going to drag you down.

Another thing successful entrepreneurs all do is invest in on going education.

Ongoing education is incredibly valuable.

And as we all know, the seasons change, things in your business will change here and there, new things will crop up that you will have to deal with…

But if you’re constantly educating yourself then you’ll be ready, and with the right teacher you won’t just be ready…you’ll be ahead of the game!

Now, many face painters might already know that it’s
important to keep learning and improving new
face paint designs…

BUT many of them don’t put anywhere near as much
effort into learning more about marketing and that is
where they are going wrong!

You are in the face painting business, but face painting is only half of it…

You should be investing in educating yourself about the business side of things just as much if not more.I can’t stress how important that is!

Now to get started with your own face painting business, join the hundreds of other face painters we’ve helped with our home study course “How to Start a Face Painting Business“ right now!

Here’s Just a Little of What We’ll Share With You…

* How to create massive exposure for your business with online & offline marketing strategies — You’ll love the FREE online strategies I’ll show you!

* How to train & hire other face painters so your business can be in two or more places at the same time, making you even more money!

Dear Face Painting Friends…

I’ve had a lot of emails, questions and concerns about making a living as a face painter during the current economic crisis.

And I want you all to know, that it is definitely possible, to make money doing what you love – no matter how tough times are!

So that’s why I decided to create a free 8 Part Series titled
“How Face Painters Can Thrive in Tough Times” to show you how possible it is and I’ll send you each episode over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

How Face Painters Can Thrive in Tough Times Part 1

You see, although people are spending less on average, (and face painting isn’t seen as a necessity)…

People are STILL spending money…
It just depends on whether or not
they spend it with you!

So, it’s up to you to get people to spend their money on face painting…and I want to help you position yourself so that you can take your piece of the pie!

First up, these are the 3 important things that you must change if your financial situation is going to change for the better and I like to call them…The 3 M’s:

1-Mindset
2-Manner
3-Marketing

And these are in a particular order for good reason!

Mindset: Firstly you need to have the right mindset. You need to have a positive attitude and really believe in what you do.

If you think that times are hard and there’s no way you can make a living with face painting then you’re just making excuses for not being the successful entrepreneur that
you can be!

Even during an economic crisis, there are still people doing what you want to do and they’re doing it successfully.

The most important reason why they’re successful, is their mindset.

Successful people understand that you need to be positive and dream big, because if you can’t imagine it, it just won’t manifest into reality.

Manner: And when your mindset changes, it directly affects your manner, the way in which you behave.

If you have a positive mindset, you will then automatically take action in the areas that you need to action in…

Phone calls get made, promo material gets mailed out, you invest in your education then immediately apply what you learn…

And you start to see the results that you want.

Marketing: That is why marketing must come after mindset and manner.

The correct mindset and manner acts as the perfect foundation for anyone starting a business or anyone who wants to change their business for the better!

Now, I learned this from a very successful marketer and magician Eric Paul and he has a very easy three-step action plan to help you on your way to changing your mindset for the better and I now pass it on to you…

Step 1: Assess your current situation. Is it what you had planned? Is it really that bad or are you letting the media dictate what your financial situation is? What’s working and what’s not? Be honest.

Step 2: Accept your situation. It’s easy to blame others or the economy. But you need to accept that YOU are 100% responsible for where you are now. Plain and simple.

Step 3: Commit to change. This is sadly where most people fail. They don’t apply what they’ve learnt, or if they do they’re not consistent. Any real and meaningful success requires commitment and hard work.

What I’ve just been talking about can not be accomplished in 5 mins, this is something that you should take seriously and make sure you’re doing on a day to day basis.

Now to get started with your own face painting business check out our home study course “How to Start a Face Painting Business“ right now!

Wouldn’t You Just Love To:

* Be your own boss
* Work your own flexible hours
* Be able to express your creative artistic side
* Make people happy with your talent
* And earn a nice income having fun all at the same time!?

Of course you would!
But the problem is… you don’t know where to begin right?

There definitely aren’t any ‘How to Start a Face Painting Business’ courses at college, no classes, and only very little help online.

What you want is simple step by step help, you want people who have been there before to show you exactly how they did it!

So that’s why I’ve spent the last year interviewing professional face painters, entertainment agents and marketers as well as researching and compiling all the knowledge and information that I have from my experiences that you need to know if you want to start your own successful face painting business…

And the good news is, it doesn’t matter if you’ve just started face painting or you have no previous business experience because…

Our New Home Study Course
