There’s No ‘One’ Right Way to Be a Successful Artist

We wish more artists knew this…

There’s no one way to build an art career. In fact, there are many ways to do it.

The right way? Well, it’s the one that works for you.

You see, a lot of Insta-gurus love to sell you the idea that you need to be glued to Instagram 24/7 to “make it” as an artist. Or they push their magic “5-step system” to guarantee you those elusive $10k months.

Tempting, right? Feels good for the ego.

But here’s the truth: what’ll actually make you successful (and happy) is doing what lights you up—playing to your strengths, following your passions, staying true to your experience, your why, your vision, and your values.

And by “successful,” we mean whatever you define as success.

Maybe success for you is making art on the side of a part-time job, or maybe you want to go full-time in your art career. Maybe it's traveling the world exhibiting your work, having annual shows, or running your own art brand online.

There are SO many ways to do it.

The key? Start with getting crystal-clear on your vision for your art career.

Ask yourself:

  • What do I really want from my art career?

  • How do I see my days as an artist?

  • What lights me up when I’m creating?

  • What do I love most about making art?

  • And what will I be creating to sell?

This right here ☝️ is the part most people skip.

They get lost in the latest hacks and tricks, following rabbit holes that have nothing to do with them.

We don’t want that for you. We genuinely care about artists and their journeys, and we’re here to help you create an art career that feels true to you.

That’s why, in our program Going [ART] Pro, we kick off with a module all about crafting your vision and taking action in your art career from that place.

When you have clarity on your vision, you’re less tempted by shiny distractions, more focused on the day-to-day, and—best of all—making progress in a way that’s aligned with your goals.

That’s what it’s all about, right? Building a career for the long haul, not just a quick cash grab.

We’ve got your back every step of the way.

PSDid you hear? Our program Going [ART] Pro is now available anytime, anywhere! You can dive into the teachings at your own pace and start applying them to your art business. Plus, there are different options for support and flexible payment plans. We can’t wait to support you as you step up and go pro! Check it all out [HERE].
