In June of 2019 I exhaled a sigh of relief after leaving an exhausting teaching job to pursue art full-time, but over the next year, I logged into my bank account with trepidation. I made a few big sales but feared finding out the amount of money I actually profited come tax season. I was living below the poverty line and I didn't want to tell my family or friends. Since then, I decided to stop playing small and build the career I've always dreamed of. Now, my business generates 6 figures annually, I operate out of a 1,700 sf storefront studio, and my wife and I own our dream home in the heart of the city along with an investment property. I've worked with high-end galleries around the country and made sales to professional athletes and major corporations.
The biggest mistake I made at the beginning was boxing myself into what seemed attainable at the time. Every week I encounter extraordinarily talented people who haven't quite cracked the code to live the life they deserve. In my own life and with mentees, my favorite question to ask is "What's the Dream?" Once we gain clarity on your vision for your life, we can work backwards and figure out how to get there. Being a full-time artist (or whatever your dream may be) is more attainable than you think.
