This episode is a follow-up to episode 40 where we introduced the 5 ingredients to stepping things up and turning your art hobby into a thriving art business.

In this episode, we dive into strategy (ingredient no.3) and the importance of looking at the big picture when building your art business. We chat about how strategic thinking helps both artists in the beginning stages who are building an art business from scratch and also those who are more advanced and feeling the need to review their direction and possibly redirect and carve out a new path.

Laura and Ros talk about why it is essential to build an art business which suits your lifestyle, who you are and the future you want to have rather than simply following opportunities. We touch on comparisonitis and the value of staying on your own path.

During our conversation, we also explore ways to visualise your future from journaling to vision boards and chats with trusted friends, and we also refer to the various types of art business models available to artists today. Learn more about the business models by tuning into episode 30 “From Starving Artist to Making an Income from Your Art” and download your guide from Ros via the link below.

Ros gets ranty about the concept of multiple income streams and their role when building a sustainable art business. Learn more about income streams with Ros’ ‘Make Money from Your Art’ Masterclass - link below.

Coming up is goal setting and mentoring, so stay tuned for our next episodes!
