This episode isn’t for artists who want to dabble and keep art as a hobby. I so respect your desire to enter and exit the studio whenever you feel like it, but this isn’t for you. This isn’t even for artists who want to set up a side hustle of selling art here and there to make some extra cash. Again, I respect the fact that you want or need to do that, but what I share here isn’t for you. This is for anyone who is serious about building and living the life of an artist. This episode is also for you if other artists ask for your advice about how they can do what you have done. (All you have to do is send them here.) I cover: <ul> <li>Why devotion to the work has to come above everything else in your artist life.</li> <li>When you can call yourself an artist.</li> <li>Why you shouldn’t be devoted to 1 medium.</li> <li>The first 6 practical business steps: <ul> <li>Decide on your professional name.</li> <li>Decide on your business structure.</li> <li>Register your business.</li> <li>Get a tax ID number.</li> <li>Gat a sales tax license.</li> <li>Separate your business and personal finances.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> 🔶 Just starting your art career?
