We&#8217;re all so accustomed to having a map.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense. If we want to travel from San Francisco to New York, it really helps to have a map.<\/p>\n<p>Of course we could do it without a map. But we might get lost along the way, have tons of detours, waste a lot of time, energy, and resources. <em>That could be really fun.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re someone who would really prefer to have a map so you can choose a pathway that fits your needs, your budget, your time frame as an author entrepreneur, how do you do find one?<\/p>\n<h2>BUILD RELATIONSHIPS<\/h2>\n<p>The one thing artist entrepreneurs struggle to do, but absolutely must if they want to get their work on the world\u2019s map is build relationships.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s uncomfortable but getting out of your comfort zone is important. (More resources on that <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/11\/take-risks-take-it-to-the-edge-by-beth-barany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/13\/versus-risk-living-creative-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The artist entrepreneur who asked me this question is at the beginning of her entrepreneur journey. She realizes that her skill set is unique and she doesn&#8217;t want to limit herself. And she wants to explore.<\/p>\n<h2>TWO MAIN WAYS TO DISCOVER YOUR UNIQUE ROADMAP<\/h2>\n<p>In the course of our conversation, I realized that there are two main ways I&#8217;ve gone about creating my unique pathway as an author entrepreneur building a business helping writers, being a working writer, <a href=\"http:\/\/author.bethbarany.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an award-winning novelist<\/a> with over 50 reviews on that award-winning book, and finding my market.<\/p>\n<p>When I when I first started I didn&#8217;t know who that market was. I don&#8217;t know who my best readers were. I didn&#8217;t even know really how to talk about my book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since we don&#8217;t become artists entrepreneurs in a vacuum, I realized it&#8217;s all about relationships, and by extension, community.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Relationships<\/strong> build&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230; <strong>Community<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I want to make a distinction between building relationships and being \u201csocial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>For example,<\/em> you don\u2019t need to be an extrovert to build quality relationships. In fact, introverts often excel at creating strong one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships are about heart, trust, transference of knowledge, learning, and about gaining richer perspectives that <em>enhance<\/em> your life and your work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Building relationships<\/strong> is about mutual respect, connection, and being connected for the long haul \u2013 as long as it\u2019s a win-win for all involved. From these relationships, community grows and creates a support network that uplifts everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean you are always at parties, meeting people over coffee or hanging out on social media, though you can, if you want.<\/p>\n<h2>Who do we build relationships with?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an author, you&#8217;re writing books for readers. You are in relationship to those readers.<\/p>\n<p>If you are an indie author like I am and like a lot of the authors I help then, you&#8217;re may be wondering:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOh my gosh, there&#8217;s so much that goes into being an indie author. Help!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s because you also need to build relationships with people who can help you.<\/p>\n<p><em>For example:<\/em>\u00a0cover artists, book reviewers, editors, proofreaders, \u201cget out the word team,\u201d and critique partners. These are all important relationships to develop, nurture, and maintain.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you build these important relationships?<\/h2>\n<p>Start by reaching out to someone who&#8217;s done it that you admire and respect. Have a conversation and find out how they&#8217;ve done it.<\/p>\n<p>And if you can, go to a community of like-minded individuals, like a writing community.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re writing romance, there&#8217;s the Romance Writers of America. If you&#8217;re in mystery, there&#8217;s Mystery Writers of America or Sisters in Crime.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in science fiction or fantasy, there&#8217;s the Science Fiction and Fantasy writers.<\/p>\n<p>Or if you&#8217;re not able to get in because of their requirements, check out Broad Universe. (A more extensive list is here: <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/writing-associations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/writing-associations\/<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>There are other associations for other genres and other kinds of writing communities like National Association of Women Writers, for example.<\/p>\n<p>In California, we have the California Writers Club. Most other states also have community-oriented writers clubs and communities. If not check at your local library. They&#8217;re really the best resource.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next, network.<\/strong> This means actually talking to people: online or in-person.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, nothing replaces being in the same room with people to learn from &#8212; people that you want to be like. Maybe even there&#8217;s a few people who are more beginner than you that you suddenly realize you can help.<\/p>\n<h3>The Triangle of Support<\/h3>\n<p><strong>This is the triangle of support<\/strong>: you, those who can learn from you, and those you can learn from. All three legs of the three-legged stool are so essential in developing any kind of career, including your artist entrepreneur career.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19840\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stool-309589_640-300x255.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stool-309589_640-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/stool-309589_640.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>In this way, I&#8217;ve learned so much. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have learned how professional writers handle communicating with agents and editors, and so much about marketing and the writing process &#8212; just being by being in the room with my colleagues, other writers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So find a way to have conversations.<\/strong> If there is no way to be in person, find a way to do phone conversations, Skype, or Zoom. That&#8217;s the second best way: hearing someone&#8217;s voice, being live with them.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly online written format communities are wonderful too. <em>You are not alone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a community out there for you. And if you&#8217;re already in a community, I recommend that you continue to take advantage of it, deepen your commitment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go with questions.
