How to Make Art a Career: The Three Golden Questions to Ask Yourself

By on • ( 3 Comments )

Take steps. Small steps. If you want a career to be long-lasting you donโ€™t want to force something to grow. Building a career is just like growing a plant. It needs to be planted in good soil and taken care of while itโ€™s still small and unknown to the world. It has to get love and the right nutrition to be able to function and to live up to its potential as a bigger plant.ย 

Do not rush. I canโ€™t emphasize this enough. Yes, you need to throw yourself out there and be willing to do things that scare you, but you should never compromise with your own health – mental, physical or spiritual – nor should you lower your morals or let go of your integrity in order to get to where you want to go. This needs to be intact and if you are a solid artist your career will take off in the time you are ready for it.ย
