The Artist's Path To Success // a FREE and super beautiful & reassuring workbook 

The Artist's Path To Success QUIZ // an adorable 2-minute quiz for you

1. Your creativity might first show up in your life as curiosity  — study, learn, read, take classes, courses
2. The thing that makes you good at creating your art is also the thing that makes you good at running a business
3. I am the most dependable person in my life, and as the one creating both my art and my business, I know that I can depend on BOTH because I know that I can depend on myself
4. The market for my creative work is infinitely larger than my ability to create the work
5. People want to see my work. In their homes. In their lives. Every day. Shocker. I know. Lol
6. Talking about my work to others does feel scary and makes my little introverted heart want to crawl into a little hole, but it’s also so extremely fun, rewarding, and fulfilling
7. I am capable of wearing 50 different hats — but which ones really look best on me? Aka fit my skill-set and desires best?  And how can I let go of the things that don’t fit me best?

It's time! Today, we’re having a conversation about goals. Yes, in the middle of the year. This is the best time to check in and see how your goals are progressing and what you want for the rest of the year (especially before the holiday season takes hold). 

In this episode, I'm checking in on my goals for 2024; many of which I have achieved, but many I didn't. We'll discuss what to do when you realize you're not reaching your goals or need to adjust some expectations. Enjoy, my sweeties! As always, please leave a rating and comment below!

Today we set the foundation. The MOST important step of all. Falling in LOVE with your work, with the process, with the beautiful energy you feel while creating. That sweet sweet magic translates to the way you share your work with your (ever-growing) audience which connects to how you grow your studio and business. And it all starts with that love. 

IS YOUR VISION COMING THROUGH IN YOUR WORK?

>> Before you can expect to attract customers, you have to understand what your work is saying as it is active and living in the world. 

1 Understand why your work is worth being seen

2 Get clear on why your work matters to you

3 Look at your work from the outside; is it speaking in the way you intend?

4 How are you conveying the value of your work to others?

5 Define who your ideal audience is and where they feel most comfortable

6 How can you use empathy to share your work effectively?

This is where Making Art Work shines. Inside this Masterclass, I get to walk with you through every single area of running a creative business. Everything from web design to wholesale, branding to creating a collection, email marketing, running ads for your art, SEO for artists and SO much more!  Get all the details HERE
