| ENCORE: Manifest Your Wildest Dreams | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:21:28 | |
You can manifest your wildest dreams even in your everyday life. What makes manifestation real is your ability and willingness to believe. You need to believe and visualize what you want to bring it into your conscious awareness. -Miriam Schulman What we're exploring in this episode:
We block our ability to manifest through a lack of belief. We don't believe in ourselves. We don't believe what's really possible. We stand so firm on the very beliefs we should be questioning and end up undermining our own success. The universe will bring you things when you get clear about what you want and the opportunities you're looking for. You need positive belief and an open mind to recognize it when it comes your way.

| ENCORE: Guarantee Your Success | 24 Oct 2023 | 00:26:52 | |
The most common question I get asked by those who are considering joining my incubator is something similar to "What are the guaranteed results if I join?" However, the only one who can guarantee your results are YOU. Results and success aren't dependent on a program, it's based on the work that you put in! Not all students who apply to law or medical school get in. And not all who get in graduate. The ones who finish are the ones who put in the work. In the same way, not all participants of any program will have the same results. "Only you can guarantee your result." -Miriam Schulman So what can you do to increase your results? Here are three points I discuss in detail on this episode:
"Building an art business takes even more courage. Because you have to put in the perspiration behind the inspiration." -Miriam Schulman It can be equally terrifying and exciting to realize that the outcome of your work is dependent on you. Take this time as a year ends and another one begins, to plan for the next year ahead. Take this time to introspect and ask yourself: Who are you becoming? How are you showing up to the world? What are your dreams? Do your actions lead you towards your dreams? Remember that you're the only one who can guarantee your success. For full show notes, go to schulmanart.com/237

| ENCORE: Why Marketing and Mindset Trump Talent | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:31:44 | |
I'm sure you've seen less talented people rise to the top while those with the talent don't. It's baffling and might even seem unfair. But what if I tell you that it's all in the marketing? In this episode, we discuss how marketing and mindset play important roles in your success, even more than talent. I talk about how famous artists (yes, even those from hundreds of years ago) utilized marketing to sell their art. And I even share personal stories where I saw and experienced how consistency led to better results than talent. "I do believe anyone can be an artist. However, you need to develop the right mindset and learn the skills and techniques to get the results you want." - Miriam Schulman Why are marketing and mindset so important? Is talent still important? Here are the three thoughts I share that I want you to take home:
"If you want to think like a famous artist, marketing matters." - Miriam Schulman I know it can be discouraging to see child prodigies paraded in the media or look at the works of the great masters and feel like we'll never achieve what they did. I know that it can be baffling to see not-so-great art sell for a lot of money. But once you learn that it's not just about the art, you can achieve your goal. Once you develop the mindset, learn the skills, and put in the effort, you'll be surprised by what you can achieve.

| 264: Supreme Court Rules: Can You Copy a Photo? | 27 Jun 2023 | 00:26:15 | |
Today I'm talking about the controversial recent Supreme Court rulings on copyright infringement. From the blurred lines of transformative use to the importance of respecting artists' work, I'll dig into the legal and ethical considerations that creatives need to be aware of. But as we'll see, sometimes even the law can leave us with more questions than answers. In this episode I'll discuss:
Respect other people's work, because it's not just their creation, it's their livelihood. - Miriam Schulman Some of the resources mentioned today:
You cannot just take a photograph off of the internet and paint it. You can't. It's not legal. It's never been legal. -Miriam Shulman In the world of art and creativity, there's an unwritten code of conduct that encompasses respecting the work of fellow artists, regardless of the medium. Photographers are artists too. You don't want people copying your paintings and the same thing should be true for photographs. It's important for artists to recognize the boundaries set by copyright laws and ensure that their own work doesn't infringe on the rights of others. Respecting other artists' work not only builds a sense of community among creators but also fosters a more collaborative and innovative environment.

| 259: Let the Universe Meet You Halfway with Emily Silva Hockstra | 23 May 2023 | 00:27:49 | |
Our art and our books don't sell themselves. It's our connection with other people and the stories we share and the experiences we relate to, that we capture hearts and minds. I talked with Emily Silva Hockstra about this on the show today. In 2014, Emily quit her job to pursue her dream of becoming an author. She got a one-way ticket to Bali and set out to write the next Eat, Pray, Love. But when she got one rejection after another from agents, she decided to put it away and focus on her coaching business. She was contacted by her publisher weeks later with the pitch for her first book Moonlight Gratitude. Emily's commitment to sharing her book and presenting it to the world has led to the sale of over a hundred thousand copies, each representing a life touched and transformed by her words. "We're all kind of making it up as we go along, because who even knows what it's supposed to be anyway? And why should it all be the same?" – Miriam Schulman Here's a few lessons from Emily:
"People don't know the magic that you have. So harness your bravery and share what you're creating. Who knows who you'll affect?" – Emily Silva Hockstra For full show notes, go to schulmanart.com/259 | |||
| 258: Scarcity Selling | 16 May 2023 | 00:29:16 | |
During my one-on-one calls with artists, I've had conversations where I hear about their struggles, and I noticed that the same themes kept coming up over and over again. One of these is what I call "Scarcity selling." Scarcity selling starts from the lack of abundance mindset of artists around the creation of their art. This is when artists doubt that they can produce more amazing, beautiful pieces. This can lead to other struggles like anxiety, creativity burnout, over-working your art pieces, procrastination, analysis paralysis, and even guilt. In this episode, I share the story of two of my clients who struggled with producing more art. You may find their stories familiar. "Is the risk of the worst-case scenario worth the possibility of the best-case scenario?" - Miriam Schulman What if you're stuck in this state of scarcity selling? What can you do?
Sometimes it can be difficult to let go and sell your art. That's normal. Maybe your piece feels incredibly personal. Maybe you're clinging to your pieces out of fear. But we need to get used to creating art to let it go. "We almost always have our best work ahead of us." - Miriam Schulman Get over your scarcity selling mindset and have the confidence to create more art, and stay inspired.

| 257: Artist Brand Photography with Carolina Luna | 09 May 2023 | 00:23:11 | |
For artpreneurs, photography is a powerful way to position your art and your products online and create a visual identity that truly represents you and your work. In this episode, we're talking all about branding photography. Carolina Luna is a New York-based seasoned photographer and a branding and transformation catalyst. She works with entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries to help them build a strong social image with photography that's as individual as they are, to match their personality and messaging. She teaches entrepreneurs how to build authenticity, authority, and credibility online using strategic photos as a positioning tool. Fun fact: she's also the photographer that I hired for my book launch party for Artpreneur. "The purpose of personal branding photography is not to make you look like who you are not. It's to keep you as authentic as you are… showing little slices of your life to allow your audience to see how you live your life." - Carolina Luna So, what makes branding photography different from a regular photography session? A regular photography session takes pretty pictures. But branding photography gives you images that capture who you are, your work, and your message in a photo. Here are three questions Carolina answers:
She also gives practical tips for your next branding photoshoot, like how to pose in front of the camera, what kinds of photos you need to take, and the conversations you need to have with your photographer before they start taking the photo. "Everything that shows how you live your best life helps people to bond with you." - Carolina Luna And when it comes to choosing your photographer, Carolina advises that they should know marketing and understand branding so they can help you understand how you want to position yourself, elevate your vision, and help you capture how you want to be remembered as an artist.

| 255: Real Artists Don't Starve with Jeff Goins | 25 Apr 2023 | 00:45:53 | |
While I was writing the book proposal for Artpreneur I had to look at what other art books are out there and see how my book could fill a need that these books haven't. And it was in this process that I came across today's guest, Jeff Goins. Jeff is a bestselling author, podcaster, blogger, marketer, speaker, and a few other things. Through his bestselling books, courses, coaching, and speeches, he shares his ongoing journey of transformation, inspiring creators like you to discover your voice and share it with the world. He's also the founder of Fresh Complaint, a bespoke creative agency that helps thought leaders turn good ideas into big ideas. Among other titles, he wrote Real Artists Don't Starve, where he debunks the myth of the starving artist with rules for artists who thrive. "Being seen doing your work is the best marketing an artist can offer." - Jeff Goins With everything he's done, Jeff has made more than a few observations about the world. Here are some common misconceptions about art that he busts today:
"Art is not the thing you create. It is the process by which you create it." - Jeff Goins One of the things Jeff shares is that an art is never finished. A book is never done, it's only due. Books and art belong to a certain point in time, and can never be recreated, even by the artist.

| 253: Uncovering Your Personal Style with Judith Gaton | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:35:33 | |
Let's get real for a moment - have you ever considered how the underwear you wear affects your overall confidence and presentation to the world? You and I know that self-expression and confidence are key to success in our creative endeavors. Joining us in this episode is personal stylist, certified life coach, and former lawyer, Judith Gaton. She's also the author of How to be a F*cking Lady: A Modern Guide to Being Charming & Fierce AF. She lives by the motto that confident women leave legacies, and her life's work is centered all around helping women find their confidence so they can leave their impact on the world. So how much can actually be said about undergarments? Well, a lot as it turns out. Here are just three of the points Judith teaches us about in this episode:
"For my clients, a lot of them forget they're not a head floating around in the world. They are a head that requires a body to be fully functioning and comfortable in order to do whatever is their work in the world" - Judith Gaton When you take the time to just stand still and assess how you're feeling, as Judith said, you'll find a treasure trove of information. It can be an uncomfortable hairstyle, ill-fitting undergarments, or just how the clothes you wear don't feel like you.
