How to Turn Your Why Into Revenue | Honest Art Podcast Episode 109

Описание: In my years of mentoring artists, I've watched this ONE question stop people dead in their tracks, leaving them fumbling for words…“Why do you create art?”

Knowing the answer to this question is the most important business tool you can have when it comes to selling your work. And it’s why in this episode, I’m giving you practical tips and exercises for helping you uncover (not invent) your artist’ “why.”
