Have you ever felt frustrated or flustered at work? Perhaps a bit anxious or uncertain? Creating art lessons, prepping supplies, managing behaviors and dealing with uncertainty can challenge even the best of us.

Today’s episode of Art Made Easy takes a look at how one book, Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield changed the way I approached my day. As a writer, it made a huge difference in my productivity and as a teacher it allowed me to look at my job with more focus and less distraction.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:

• How having a professional mindset can help you in the art room

• What are the real differences between amateurs and professionals

• Why looking into the future can be just as limiting than looking into the past

• Whether or not you need to offer many different mediums in your art program

• Why I believe you can be both a creative and a business owner

• What I say before my students walk in the door
