To be a successful artist takes talent, the right mindset, and an entrepreneurial spirit. I have been an artist for over 20 years and owning my art gallery for the past 13. The journey has been rewarding and exciting, but it has its challenges.
The Passion for Creating Anyone who thinks being a working artist is all fun and game is mistaken because being a successful artist requires dedication and hard work. The desire to make art into a business is about passion and the will to live out your destiny. I genuinely believe our talent is given to us to share our mission in life. If art is in your future, it is time to take it more seriously.

Artists have a quench for learning new things; we absorb it like a sponge. But some of us lack the drive to implement our knowledge.
Hi, if we haven’t met yet, I am Ting, an artist, and art business coach; I help artists of all levels market their art and grow their business to live a creative life with time and money freedom. I have been selling my art for 20 years in various galleries and venues. For the past 13 years, My husband, Paul, and I have operated our award-winning gallery. The Implementers There are so many talented artists. Some are doing remarkably well, and some are at a standstill. Both groups are equally skilled, but the movers and shakers are the implementers. Beyond having a business that I love, my mission is to empower women to channel their strength to build the life of their dream. The biggest challenge for me is encouraging creative women artists to believe in themselves.
The Anatomy of a Creative Mind One thing about us creative people is that we are talented and unconventional. Our minds go at 100 miles per hour, and our attention span is even worse! We don't think and do things like most people. We may celebrate our creative prowess, but we also need to support it with the right mindset and organized thinking. Since I opened my art business, I realized that I have to do things more planned out to succeed; spontaneity wasn't going to cut it anymore. Hey artist, The most crucial attribute to becoming a successful artist is not talent, it is self-discipline. Your success depends on it.
To be a successful artist-entrepreneur is not easy because we have to be versed not only in our crafts but also in marketing and selling. Being pulled in so many directions is a difficult task. So in order to be accomplished, we need to set strategic goals to make everything work to our advantage, and that is where your discipline comes to play. Discipline helps you stay focused, giving you the tenacity to work through your challenges and reach your goal. The more you work on your self-improvement habits, the more your mind will expand and bring you to new heights. I have put together 5 discipline principles that will help you set goals and plan out your dream of becoming an artist-entrepreneur. |
