Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, famously said, \u201cWhat the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.\u201d This is exactly what Susan Beallor-Snyder has done\u2013achieved her vision.<\/p>\n
Susan and I have been working together over the course of several years. When we first began our coaching relationship, Susan was entirely focused on her jewelry business as a fine goldsmith.<\/p>\n
She wanted to establish her brand and carve out time to produce the exquisite pieces she was known for. Managing a household in Westport, CT with two young children and a successful husband, she was faced with a similar issue of many women\u2013when is it MY time?<\/p>\n
Susan easily conquered those issues during our sessions, then moved her family back to Atlanta where they had been previously. After getting settled there we resumed our coaching with Susan\u2019s vision of having an impact on the art world in this city.<\/p>\n
Her creative interests broadened to include photography, a passion she\u2019d had for over 30 years that had gotten buried in the busy-ness of life, plus mixed media and sculpture including rope (as seen in this photograph). Susan studied public speaking, participated in the art world in her hometown, and utilized her skills as a masterful cook and hostess to broaden her reach. She enrolled in classes at SCAD, attended art openings, socialized, volunteered and made donations of her time, jewelry and other work on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the nugget I want to emphasize, and I can see Susan nodding her head in full agreement. This takes time. Susan\u2019s heartfelt desire and intuition were to have an impact on her arts community, but to establish that is not an overnight effort. It takes time. Which Susan invested: hourly, daily, monthly, annually. It is what Susan does. She\u2019s an artist. She\u2019s a contributor. And, she\u2019s a mover and shaker with ideas, the stamina to see them through and the desire to share her creative vision with a larger community.<\/p>\n
The feature article in BuckHaven Lifestyle Magazine is the visible testament to Susan\u2019s achievement. Take a moment to read the article about her and feast on the images of her work. I\u2019m so proud of Susan\u2019s persistence in achieving this enormous goal of seeing her leadership recognized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
