I’ll let you in on a big secret. The key to feeling like a legit business is thinking like a business owner and treating your art like a business!
I am on a mission to help artists exactly like you transform your mindset and income so you can live a happier life!
There’s never (ever) enough time in the day.
But because of my daily struggle with chronic migraines, I have even less time to accomplish what I need to before I’m completely zapped for the day.
When I set out to change the lives and income of artists everywhere, I knew I wanted to empower anyone fighting an invisible battle like me.
I became freaking OBSESSED with collapsing time and only doing exactly what you need to do to succeed, and skipping the rest!
5 Things You Need to Launch Your Art Business Online Today
1. A social media account (Instagram is recommended).
In the profile settings, toggle it to a business account vs a personal account. Using a business account gives you the ability to view analytics, which are so helpful in understanding your audience + engagement.
2. A way to accept electronic payments from customers you meet online or in person.
For example, Paypal, Venmo, or Cashapp.
3. The understanding of WHY you love to create art. Your WHY is the whole reason for starting your business! And your why happens to also be the core of your marketing strategy that you will learn how to hone in. I can help you develop clarity and words to fine tune your unique brand around your artwork.
4. 1 hour per day working ON your business/marketing strategy. Because creating endlessly without a concrete business plan adds up to be a very expensive hobby.
Fast forward to months and years ahead and imagine a hoard of gorgeous art stacked ceiling high. Your art deserves better than dust. The universe deserves your magic! And HELL, you deserve an extraordinary life filled with passion. So let's light a fire under that booty and get goin’, shall we?!
Okay I’ll jump off my soapbox now lol
Instead of resisting a change or going back to your old ways, I challenge you to think “What will a Powerhour do FOR me?”
I can wake up a tad earlier. I can sacrifice a little Netflix. For my DREAM LIFE AS A THRIVING ARTIST!
The hundreds of artists I personally work with all start out by saying one of a few things like…
“I am bad at time management.”
“I am super ADD.”
“I feel so scattered and I just don't know where to begin.”
But now these artists have transformed their mindset. And habits. They are living proof that once we MAKE the time for our art goals, it elevates us into our future, best-self!
A power hour will:
Build your confidence and trust in yourself
Provide your clarity and focus
Reduce your overwhelm
Now imagine how THAT will feel?
Small steps take us where we want to go.
I saved the best for last, are you ready?
5. An Unshakeable Artpreneur Mindset. The #1 key ingredient for your success is learning how to MASTER the Artpreneur Mindset.
You see, I’ve worked with so many talented artists who are brilliant in the studio, but struggle with art business execution.
What they don’t realize is limiting beliefs and habits are holding them back from manifesting their dreams.
I agree with Bob Proctor who said
Success is 95% mindset and 5% strategy!
Having an unshakeable Artpreneur mindset is the #1 key way to be able to sell your art full-time and live the life you’ve always dreamed of and is only available through the Artpreneur Challenge.
