Ever heard the saying, “Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard?” As an artist, you might not think about your art as “hard work” — but it is. And hard work requires showing up consistently. 

If you want to improve your skills and create your best art, if you want to take things to that next level, you HAVE to be consistent. You have to actively face down creative blocks and challenges that try to prevent you from picking up that brush, pen, clay, what have you.

And in this episode of the show, I’m talking about 5 massive creative challenges I think every artist faces, and how you can overcome them.
