Artists crossing into professional territory often struggle with seeing themselves as professionals. Maybe it is because of the stigmas attached to creative work.

We often hear statements such as:

“You can’t make a living from art.”

“If you do this work for me (for free) you will get exposure.”

“You’ll end up a starving artist...”

I think what artists need is permission to succeed - and - more accurately - permission to PURSUE success.

In this episode I give you 4 points you should be willing to embrace and 3 proactive actions to take to increase your chances for a successful career as an artist.
