ArtBizVioce: Searching For The Way In

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to write to you over the last year. Finally I did. Then, when I went to discover how to get a letter to you, Well I realized that you would probably never see it. One of the reasons that you might not see it is because, well, how could one man possibly read all that mail.

So I saved my letter and decided to pray about it, because I do pray. Prayer tends to be something that works for me. So I prayed and I waited and some how I made it through the holidays. And the thought hit me that perhaps I wasn’t the only one who needed input, perhaps I wasn’t the only one who was trying to be successful and just needed a little bump to get there.

So I figured if I write this blog then maybe one of your assistants might see it and then they might recommend it to one of your underlings and if it seems useful maybe you or one of your children might actually see it. In the mean time, maybe I can voice the real problems that people like me have. Perhaps I can help a few along the way. So, I thank you for reading this in advance and for paying people to search out the Internet to find little bits and blurbs that contain your name.

By the way, I loved your website biography. I think you are uniquely qualified for what you do and years of experience haven’t hurt that one bit. I appreciate people, every person, who takes what they have and at least tries to do something creative and at times flamboyant, simply for the joy of doing it and because we have the Freedom in the United States to soar. Thank you for sharing so many of your experiences with us.

You know I read that you wanted to be in show business when you were young. You did it! Maybe its not how we start out but really what we do to get where we want to go that makes the most difference in our lives.

Have a wonderful Day. ~L

ArtBizVoice: In the Begining: The Letter Story

A lot of people are going to be wondering why I started this blog. I have a lot of projects going in Fine Art and Design and Several blogs already.

You see  my life style and circumstances are perfect for an artist; however,  they are not so perfect for someone who wants to succeed in business. They are even less so for someone like me who needs to have the support financially and mentor wise. So I decided to write a letter to Donald Trump.

When I finished the letter and went to search out where to send it. I immediately got on the Trump Website. I realized after reading the biographies and searching the site that the probability of Mr. Trump actually seeing my letter was probably less than tripping over a burning asteroid in my back yard.

I have several ideas about business expansions but I am really not ready to do that sort of "development proposal". I need a person! Gosh I need persons! Passionate persons, with a lot of skills I do not have to market the products I do have and help me develop new products and new markets. And they need to be willing to work on the project like I do, for the shear love of it. Success  being the payoff.

I was hoping that Mr. Trump could advise me or even connect me with someone who might point me in the right direction to finding such a person.

I needed to put the letter away and rethink it. And I thought well I need a mentor anyway and maybe others do too so why not blog my letters and the answers I find. And maybe someone might one day see it and I will have the connection I need.  So here goes.
