The Inspiration Place

Are you ready to transform your art career? Join me for day one of the Artpreneur Bootcamp as we uncover the five most common problems that keep artists from thriving, and how to overcome them. It's not that artists don't work hard enough; it's that they often focus on the wrong things. I'll guide you through a process to identify your self-sabotaging patterns, and get clear on the exact steps to take next, including goal setting exercises. This is a limited time podcast so make sure to take note of the key concepts.

In this episode, you’ll:

• Explore the difference between starving artists and successful artists, and discover how planning for profit is essential

• Understand why overcoming overwhelm, a common productivity problem, requires focusing only on what's important and eliminating what doesn't work

• Discover how to embrace your unique quirks and overcome promotion problems by selling your art in an authentic way
