Speaker
own pottery style right here on Shaping Your Pottery with Nick Torres. Let's get started. What is up, Shaping Nation? This is Nick Torres. Instead of shaping your pottery, I'm going to be talking about why having one signature style will actually help you with discovering your own unique voice.
00:00:50
Speaker
So having a signature style, what does that do? And how does that help you with discovering your own unique voice? Having a signature style allows you to get paid for what you truly like to do. This signature style, this one piece of pottery that you, that tends to sell out right away, that one piece of thing is going to help you sell your pottery, but it's also gonna help you discover your voice. How is that?
Benefits of Signature Style
00:01:19
Speaker
Well, you see, if you have one signature style, what this is going to do is going to help you make money. It's going to help you gain confidence in your party. It's going to help you gain things that you won't probably think of, because the number one thing that I believe is holding people back is imposter syndrome and is that feeling of just feeling like they're copying other powders and like their pottery isn't truly their own. But.
00:01:46
Speaker
If you have that one signature style that you know sells well, that means people are resonating with that. People are resonating with that thing you are making. And while it may or may not be something that you truly enjoy, but what this is going to do is going to free you up time to work on other things.
00:02:05
Speaker
So if you are somebody who wants to try to start selling the pottery or somebody that is currently selling the pottery right now, having a signature style is good because now you have something that can be repeated over and over again for that you know will sell well. It can be repeated month after month, month after month, and you know it's going to sell out or people are going to resonate with it still. And that is a good thing.
00:02:30
Speaker
Because if you can have just find one thing that you know will resonate with people, then it's going to free up time to do other things with your pottery. It's going to free up time for you to actually find something that truly enjoy. So what
Creating Stability with Signature Pot
00:02:45
Speaker
do I mean by this? So now if you have so let's say you all of a sudden have a signature style, a signature one signature pot that you know sells well. During the month,
00:02:58
Speaker
Let's say you make 40 pieces of pots of that signature style each month that sells out. Perfect. Now, the rest of the month, you know that you can start experimenting with other things because you know you have that one thing to fall back on to help you pay the bills to help you sell your pottery. And that is a good thing. So if you can find a one signature style, then your voice is going to start showing up a lot easier.
00:03:26
Speaker
because it's going to free up time for you to focus on other things. Because if you are trying to sell your pottery, if you just have one piece of pottery that you know sells well. Boom, you just put all your time at the beginning of the month to just making those pots that you know so well and you you will get better and better and better and faster and quicker, all just by focusing in on that one pot that you know sells well. And now.
00:03:53
Speaker
You have the rest of the month to start experimenting with other things. If you just focus on that one piece of signature style first and make all those things that you know will sell. Then go on to start experimenting later. That's how your voice is truly going to start showing up. Hey, thanks
