The Art Biz ep. 12: The Bumpy Road to Success: Stories from Our Clients

I believe in the power of being part of a dynamic group of ambitious people.

You can’t possibly get everything you need from a single person, and I can’t possibly know everything there is to know about artists’ businesses and careers. That’s why I created the Art Biz Inner Circle and why it has grown over the years.

Our members represent a wide range of media, personal goals, and geographical regions – including quite a few who are overseas. Yet they rely on one another for inspiration, motivation, strategies, and accountability.

Throughout the year, we have watched many of our members create and attain their stretch goals – several of them doubling (and more) their income from last year.

We supported members as they struggled and reorganized their plans. Yes, even the ones who attained their big goals encountered bumps along the road to success.

Our team of coaches is top-notch (I don’t trust just anyone with my clients).

In this podcast, I talk with Debby Williams and Cynthia Morris, who serve as coaches for our members in the Art Biz Inner Circle. We discuss the celebrations we witnessed as well as the many struggles our artists faced and we provide numerous tips to help with your artist journey.

  1. Love ???? this . Great ???????? thoughts on commitment , exhibitions etc . I know as an artist it’s tough being Alone working on Work and walking the exhibition trails . Janet

  2. I love the idea of ‘savoring’ a success. I think artists are often under so much pressure to make income, promote themselves constantly, etc. – the idea of celebrating a success is foreign to them. I think I’ll go out and get a pumpkin latte today to celebrate placing in a design contest this week… thanks for the idea and for the great podcast!
