10 Lessons I've Learned as a Professional Artist

In this episode I talk about 10 lessons I've learned as a professional artist. Most of them I learned through mistakes, so you'll hear some of those stories! Here is the list:1) Only make a business around art that you really love to do and find easy on some level. Otherwise you will grow to hate it.2) Creativity and making art has to come first. Then work on business, but keep it around a 50/50 split between the two.3) The business is supposed to be fun and energizing. As soon as it isn't, something needs to change. This could be a mindset change, such as reframing, or it could be a significant change such as getting support or deciding not to provide a service you don't enjoy.4) The easy path is the right path. Let it be easy.5) Keep it simple. Over-complication kills both fun and profitability.6) Find your overarching goal. Make your intermittent decisions and goals feed into the overarching goal.7) Rest is vital. It is as vital as work.8) Mindset is everything. Invest in Mindset first.9) Use strategy to achieve your goals. Work smarter, not harder.10) Authenticity is everything. Real connection drives the whole business.
