In this episode, Peter and Tom talk about the challenges they have both faced over the past two years, due to the pandemic and how they have changed their artistic businesses and continue to transition to this “new-normal” way of working.

Back in the spring of 2020, both Peter and Tom were hit hard when Covid hit the UK, losing a large proportion of their income in a very short space of time. With this uncertainty and lack of security, their creativity fell completely flat! 

They move on to reflecting on how, once the initial “damage control” period was over, and the initial shock subsided, it was a change of mindset which helped them to decide on what was most important to them and how they could continue working as an Artist.

This week’s takeaway…challenges or problems will inevitably come  your way as an Artist, but it’s how you face them that matters; thinking creatively, looking at a problem in a different way, being flexible, identifying new ways of working which can be welcome additional, income streams, will all help your business to become stronger and more resilient in the long run.
