Hey friend, Do you know your life purpose? Since you are here, I bet yours is similar to mine. 🎨
I have always felt a pull towards creativity, a natural talent that I was discouraged from pursuing by my parents. This led me to the restaurant industry, a stepping stone until I found my niche. I dabbled in fashion and contemplated on graphic design, but it wasn't until I picked up a paintbrush that I truly discovered my life purpose. The sense of fulfillment that comes with this discovery is unparalleled. "I finally found a system that supports my energy, fuels me throughout the day, and gives me time to work, play and rest. And most of all inspired. Today, I want to share how you can have it all without overextending yourself and accomplish the things that mean the most to you without burning yourself out." - Ting Yuen Hey, friend, Having been in the art business for over two decades, I have gained substantial knowledge about art, marketing, mindset, and habits. I achieved success by combining all four of these elements within my business. My mindset and spirit blossomed as my business flourished, and my husband and I opened our first art gallery, then the second, third, and fourth. We worked tirelessly, but we had a dream, and the joy of seeing it succeed is exhilarating and deeply fulfilling. We were living a creative life and in control of our destiny. That feeling itself is worth everything to us. Hey, artist, Have you ever wondered how to keep your art business in the black ? I didn't have a clue either, but let me show you what I have learned.
As a young adult, I worked in this fancy department store which carries all designer clothes and luxury goods. I was wildly into fashion then, so I used my Staff Discount credit card and purchased costly clothes: Anne Klein, Moquino, and the like. I was fashion-forward with the latest accessories and clothes, but I also got myself into $7,000 in debt! I was utterly ignorant about finances, believing that if I ignored my debt, it would somehow disappear like Magic!! 😝 Then I started receiving nasty letters from the department store letting me know that if I didn’t start paying my debt off, they would send it to the collection agency. I was red to my face embarrassed and scared, but I continued to ignore the threat. Hey Friend, According to Forbes, we have seven seconds to make our first impression. This means you must immediately create a rapport and exude confidence and trustworthiness in 7 seconds.
The art of making the first impression goes beyond your look, the way you dress, your tone of voice, and the way you carry yourself. It also has a lot to do with what you say. Now, you are probably scratching your head, thinking, “Well, what does this have to do with art?” A lot! Yep, imagine if you were at an art show or a gallery interview. How do you talk about your art? Do you trip over your tongue, not knowing what to say, or do you just go silent and bomb the interview or the show? Hey, artist, Have you ever felt the weight of the title “Artist” bearing down on you? It can be a little intimidating, can't it? I've been there. Most creators, including myself, have felt shy about their work or talent. We've all had those moments where we've said, “I just dabble in art. I would love to sell my works, but I don’t know how, and I don’t know if anyone would want to buy them.” I understand that feeling all too well.
Like many of you, I, too, was hesitant about selling my art. My little apartment was filled to the brim with my creations before I mustered the courage to apply for art shows. I remember the nervous excitement of that first show, the thrill of seeing people appreciate my work, and the flooding of tears when I made my first sale. It was a turning point in my journey as an part-time artist entrepreneur. |
