How can I avoid wasting time and stay on track with my art marketing?

Follow the proven path like staying in a train through treacherous terrain—let experienced guides lead you rather than wandering off on your own. Your tendency will be to explore and try random things that aren’t working, but you need to follow the track. Stay plugged into regular training, follow what the most successful artists are currently doing, and execute on proven tactics rather than experimenting aimlessly. Having this accountability and guidance is like having bumpers in a bowling lane—you might bumble around but you’ll generally head in the right direction. Don’t give away your time on things that don’t matter.
