Can you have a fulfilling creative life AND make money?
Not only that. Those two are inseparable.
Creativity and business are two ends of the same stick. Only if a business is creative and if art is profitable, can you live a truly fulfilled artistic life.
To walk this balance, you must face misconceptions and establish creative daily practices that together will get you where you want to be: serve your tribe, express your unique creativity, and make a good income.
Part 1 unveils why many artists are depressed, stressed out, and struggle to make ends meet, and offers a solutionâa radical change of both your mind AND your day. Part 2 dives deep into creativity, teaching you how to find your sweet spot, narrow down your passion and establish a daily practice by tricking your brain. In Part 3, you'll learn the two ways of how to merge creativity with business, make it part of your daily practice and write a creative business plan. Part 4 shows the three pillars your creative business absolutely needs to make it in the long-term.
Each section contains examples from my own experiences and examples from well-known artists and creatives, challenging you to throw misconceptions overboard and accept the call to an adventurous and rewarding creative life.
