Why is it hard to sell art... or anything you passionately create?

When we create something, we're hugely biased toward it.

We took a long journey to get there, to make that vision a reality.

Yet we’re surprised when the thing doesn't sell well. Others just “don’t get it!”, we think.

Here’s what happened – your experience of the "aha!" moments, during the long journey of creating, all happened within your own experience… nobody saw it. Therefore, you’re the only one who finds the end result, the “pay off”, super valuable.

If only you can find a way to bring your audience along on the journey of discovery and creation, then they might share moments of realization with you. The resulting creation will be deeply valuable to them, because they feel they also had some part to play.
