35: Do You Think It's Too Late to Get Started?


Listen Later

In this episode, Laura and Nikki talk about a question a lot of us are thinking about these days: Is it too late for me to start taking my art career seriously? Am I too old?

After you hit the big 4-0 mark (or perhaps the 5 or 6-0!) you might question your relevancy in a world that is constantly changing and seems to reward youth, energy, vibrancy, new technologies, etc. You begin to wonder if you’re too old to learn all the tech needed to run a successful business or too old to grow a following on social media when it seems to be full of young, beautiful women.

We are here to show you some great examples of people who didn’t let that fear stop them from starting and growing their art careers later in life!

TOPICS DISCUSSED
  • Does age matter?
  • Reasons you might think you're too old to be taken seriously or be able to do all that is required to be a successful artist
  • Shifting your mindset by looking at examples of artists who started later in life or gained success when they were older
  • The flip side - can you be considered too young to be taken seriously as an artist?
  • An example of an artist that made 6 figures by the time she was 21
  • The benefits and advantages of being older and what that experience can bring to your art and career
