Artpreneur is officially out in the stores and you can now go out and grab your own copy.  In celebration of this launch, I did something different for this episode. Today’s guests are artists just like you. With varied backgrounds and experiences, they ask their questions, share their stories while I share mine and a couple of excerpts from my book. It’s a fun, inspiring, conversation that I’m sure you’ll appreciate.  Here are some excerpts I share in this episode:  Chapter 1 “Choose to Believe”  There’s an artist in each of us wanting to break free. Your muse is tired of staying quiet and waiting for you to feel ready. Take the next step and dream bigger. You are enough. You are more than capable.  Chapter 3 “Start Before You’re Ready”  Understand that regardless of the kind of art you create… you must love your art so fiercely that you truly feel the world will miss out if they don’t want what you’re offering.  Chapter 10 “Listen to Understand”  This chapter details a 9-step process for selling, both for in-person and online selling. There’s also an Overcoming Objections Chart, which has actions steps and scripts you can use when you encounter objections.  “Your muse is tired of staying quiet and waiting for you to feel ready” - Miriam Schulman  Chapter 12 “Why Your Art Matters”  Your art matters in so many ways beyond what selling it will do for you professionally. Art helps us process the world around us and serves both a spiritual and social function, not unlike religion.   I hope this episode will encourage you to pursue your art and improve your business. Know that you can do it, that you’re capable, and you have what it takes.
