If you were to scroll through my Instagram, you would be seeing a lot of cat pictures and videos. Now, I’ve always thought that cats were just really popular these days but it turns out that these apps actually built my feed according to an algorithm that knows how much I like cats! My friends (who are dog people) have feeds filled with.. you guessed it…cute puppies. After years of building a following on social media, it can be discouraging to learn that these platforms are algorithm based, not follower based. Tune into this episode to learn the ONE platform that still shows all your content to your followers.

Learn why social media is best for connecting

ENCORE: Manifest Your Wildest Dreams Jan 30, 2024

You can manifest your wildest dreams even in your everyday life. What makes manifestation real is your ability and willingness to believe.

You need to believe and visualize what you want to bring it into your conscious awareness. -Miriam Schulman

What we’re exploring in this episode:

How you sabotage yourself when you’re not willing to believe
When you get clear with what you want, you’ll be able to call it into your conscious awareness.
How to open your mind to recognize when what you want comes your way[Text Wrapping Break]

We block our ability to manifest through a lack of belief. We don’t believe in ourselves. We don’t believe what’s really possible. We stand so firm on the very beliefs we should be questioning and end up undermining our own success.

The universe will bring you things when you get clear about what you want and the opportunities you’re looking for. You need positive belief and an open mind to recognize it when it comes your way.

ENCORE: Guarantee Your Success Oct 24, 2023

The most common question I get asked by those who are considering joining my incubator is something similar to “What are the guaranteed results if I join?”

However, the only one who can guarantee your results are YOU. Results and success aren’t dependent on a program, it’s based on the work that you put in!

Not all students who apply to law or medical school get in. And not all who get in graduate. The ones who finish are the ones who put in the work. In the same way, not all participants of any program will have the same results.

“Only you can guarantee your result.” -Miriam Schulman

So what can you do to increase your results? Here are three points I discuss in detail on this episode:

You’re the only one who can guarantee your success. Your success is equivalent to the effort you put in
Give your relentless commitment and live the VIP life
Invest in your relationships

“Building an art business takes even more courage. Because you have to put in the perspiration behind the inspiration.” -Miriam Schulman

It can be equally terrifying and exciting to realize that the outcome of your work is dependent on you. Take this time as a year ends and another one begins, to plan for the next year ahead. Take this time to introspect and ask yourself: Who are you becoming? How are you showing up to the world? What are your dreams? Do your actions lead you towards your dreams? Remember that you’re the only one who can guarantee your success.

It's all about taking ordinary, everyday materials and transforming them into exquisite handmade books and art.

“When it's time to go and sell, when it's time to go and share our work and share our message, we have to reflect on the sacred aspects of our soul.”- Miriam Schulman

In this podcast, you’ll discover…

Not to underestimate the creative potential of everyday objects; upcycling can breathe new life into them.
When creating and sharing your art or knowledge, focus on how it can positively impact your audience rather than dwelling on your insecurities.
You can overcome obstacles and find support in your creative journey by seeking guidance, connecting with like-minded individuals, and collaborating to grow as an artist or educator.

“Remember that it isn't about you. And if you can, kind of get out of your own way, get the help that you need, and focus on the folks out there who stand to gain so much from your work and what you have to offer.”- Bel Mills

ENCORE: Why Marketing and Mindset Trump Talent Aug 29, 2023

I’m sure you’ve seen less talented people rise to the top while those with the talent don’t. It’s baffling and might even seem unfair. But what if I tell you that it’s all in the marketing?

In this episode, we discuss how marketing and mindset play important roles in your success, even more than talent. I talk about how famous artists (yes, even those from hundreds of years ago) utilized marketing to sell their art. And I even share personal stories where I saw and experienced how consistency led to better results than talent.

“I do believe anyone can be an artist. However, you need to develop the right mindset and learn the skills and techniques to get the results you want.” - Miriam Schulman

Why are marketing and mindset so important? Is talent still important? Here are the three thoughts I share that I want you to take home:

You need to learn marketing to be able to share and sell your art
Mindset is more important than marketing because marketing won’t work well without the right mindset behind it
Consistent effort over time trumps talent. All the time

“If you want to think like a famous artist, marketing matters.” - Miriam Schulman

I know it can be discouraging to see child prodigies paraded in the media or look at the works of the great masters and feel like we’ll never achieve what they did. I know that it can be baffling to see not-so-great art sell for a lot of money. But once you learn that it’s not just about the art, you can achieve your goal. Once you develop the mindset, learn the skills, and put in the effort, you’ll be surprised by what you can achieve.

272: Create More Collectors, Not Content Aug 22, 2023

Are you ready to shatter the myth that creating endless content will skyrocket your art career? Brace yourself because, in this episode, I'm about to reveal the uncomfortable truth about what really drives sales for artists – and it's not what you think.

“When planning our studio time, 20 hours a week or 4 hours a day should be your maximum. Any more than that, you're burning yourself out in ways that isn't helpful to your artistic practice.”- Miriam Schulman

In this podcast, you’ll discover…

The foundation of a successful art business relies on mastering the skill of selling.
The need to shift attention from creating endless content to actively building relationships and engaging with potential collectors. By dedicating time to meet people, share your art, and make offers, you can create genuine connections that lead to sales.
Successful art business growth involves embracing the vulnerability of rejection and putting oneself out there.

“You need to focus on getting out there and creating collectors. That's what your time needs to be spent on.”- Miriam Schulman

271: Who You Are Always Wins ft Ashley Stahl Aug 15, 2023

Are you tired of the conventional career advice that promises a one-size-fits-all path to success? Get ready to challenge the status quo, shatter limitations, and discover a world where trial, error, and embracing uncertainty lead to triumph. Ashley Stahl, a counterterrorism professional turned career coach, speaker, and author of You-Turn, joins us for an impactful conversation on navigating career switch-ups and embarking on creative endeavors with no roadmap. If you've ever questioned your direction, felt the urge to explore new avenues, or wondered if unconventional could be the key to exceptional, this episode is your ultimate compass.

“Don't do what you love. Don't follow your passion. Do what you are. What I'm really saying is, what's your zone of genius?”- Ashley Stahl

In this podcast, you’ll discover…

Embracing trial and error is essential both in your career and creative pursuits. It's okay not to have all the answers upfront, and experimentation is a natural part of growth and success.
Focus on what skills come naturally to you and contribute to your unique energy. Consider the alignment between your work and your core values. If the work violates your values, it's important to reassess and pivot.
Be open to transition and adaptation, be willing to learn from both successes and failures, and remember that there are many paths and iterations to your growth and fulfillment.

“Happiness is not for the faint of heart. It's for the person that knows how to say no. It's for the person that knows how to get messy. We are being way too perfect in our career. We have way too much shame around the process of learning.”- Ashley Stahl

269: Comparison to Confidence: Embracing Self-Worth in the Artistic World ft Julie Reisler Aug 01, 2023

Have you ever felt like your art isn't good enough? Join us as we dive into the inspiring journey of embracing self-worth in the artistic world, featuring renowned author and life designer Julie Reisler. We explore the topics of self-worth and confidence, focusing on how artists can overcome the fear of judgment and maintain a strong sense of self-worth while sharing their vulnerable work with others. Get ready to explore practical strategies and mindset shifts that can help artists cultivate self-worth, unleash their creative potential, and navigate the unique challenges of their creative journeys.

“Just understand vulnerability and sharing yourself. This is the currency of our heart; it is vulnerability, it is courage.”- Julie Reisler

In this podcast, you’ll discover…

You’re not alone! Many artists, regardless of their medium, often experience self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness, leading to a cycle of insecurity.
Mindset plays a significant role in an artist's confidence and creative expression. By adopting a positive and growth-oriented mindset, artists can break free from the comparison game and overcome self-doubt.
Recognizing and embracing one's uniqueness is essential in developing a personal artistic style. Artists should embrace their individuality rather than trying to conform to trends or imitate others.

“Creativity is, to me, one of the highest expressions of the divine.”- Julie Reisler

264: Supreme Court Rules: Can You Copy a Photo? Jun 27, 2023

Today I’m talking about the controversial recent Supreme Court rulings on copyright infringement. From the blurred lines of transformative use to the importance of respecting artists' work, I'll dig into the legal and ethical considerations that creatives need to be aware of. But as we'll see, sometimes even the law can leave us with more questions than answers.

In this episode I’ll discuss:

The implications of the recent Supreme Court rulings on copyright infringement.
The world of transformative imagery in art and photography.

How government decisions influence art and copyright laws.
The significance of respecting artists' work and adhering to copyright laws.

Respect other people's work, because it's not just their creation, it's their livelihood. - Miriam Schulman

Some of the resources mentioned today:

Check out iStock or Adobe Stock for legal photo licensing.

Use free photo sites like Unsplash to find images for personal or commercial use.
Purchase a standard or extended license for specific photos on Adobe Stock.

You cannot just take a photograph off of the internet and paint it. You can't. It's not legal. It's never been legal. -Miriam Shulman

In the world of art and creativity, there's an unwritten code of conduct that encompasses respecting the work of fellow artists, regardless of the medium. Photographers are artists too. You don't want people copying your paintings and the same thing should be true for photographs.

It's important for artists to recognize the boundaries set by copyright laws and ensure that their own work doesn't infringe on the rights of others. Respecting other artists' work not only builds a sense of community among creators but also fosters a more collaborative and innovative environment.

260: Creativity Loves Constraints May 30, 2023

Creativity thrives within the boundaries of constraints. It flourishes and reaches new heights when there are limitations in place. Have you ever noticed that having unlimited time, resources, or ideas can sometimes lead to a creative slump, leaving your mind scattered and unable to produce anything we like?

In this episode, I delve into the power of constraints. How do they actually help us? What benefits do they bring? How can we intentionally impose constraints upon ourselves?

“When you know what the limits are, you can explore different possibilities without the fear of failure.” - Miriam Schulman

Constraints imposed on your work increase your creativity by:

focusing the mind

facilitating originality
encouraging risk-taking
increasing resourcefulness

“Make that commitment to yourself. Doing what you say you’ll do will increase your self-trust, which will ultimately increase your confidence.” - Miriam Schulman

As artists, we often find ourselves working under various forms of constraints, whether it's limited time, resources, project requirements, or others' ideas. However, we can also proactively practice self-imposed constraints to train our creativity and discover something new. I challenge you to experiment with some of the suggestions shared in this episode. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you can create, discovering something you didn't even know you were capable of.

259: Let the Universe Meet You Halfway with Emily Silva Hockstra May 23, 2023

Our art and our books don’t sell themselves. It’s our connection with other people and the stories we share and the experiences we relate to, that we capture hearts and minds.

I talked with Emily Silva Hockstra about this on the show today. In 2014, Emily quit her job to pursue her dream of becoming an author. She got a one-way ticket to Bali and set out to write the next Eat, Pray, Love. But when she got one rejection after another from agents, she decided to put it away and focus on her coaching business. She was contacted by her publisher weeks later with the pitch for her first book Moonlight Gratitude.

Emily's commitment to sharing her book and presenting it to the world has led to the sale of over a hundred thousand copies, each representing a life touched and transformed by her words.

“We’re all kind of making it up as we go along, because who even knows what it’s supposed to be anyway? And why should it all be the same?” – Miriam Schulman

Here’s a few lessons from Emily:

Embrace the natural flow of your journey; don't force outcomes.
Remember that selling your book, your art, your work comes from personal connections.
For people to know your work, you have to share your work.

“People don’t know the magic that you have. So harness your bravery and share what you’re creating. Who knows who you’ll affect?” – Emily Silva Hockstra

258: Scarcity Selling May 16, 2023

During my one-on-one calls with artists, I’ve had conversations where I hear about their struggles, and I noticed that the same themes kept coming up over and over again. One of these is what I call “Scarcity selling.”

Scarcity selling starts from the lack of abundance mindset of artists around the creation of their art. This is when artists doubt that they can produce more amazing, beautiful pieces. This can lead to other struggles like anxiety, creativity burnout, over-working your art pieces, procrastination, analysis paralysis, and even guilt.

In this episode, I share the story of two of my clients who struggled with producing more art. You may find their stories familiar.

“Is the risk of the worst-case scenario worth the possibility of the best-case scenario?” - Miriam Schulman

What if you’re stuck in this state of scarcity selling? What can you do?

Have a structure around the creation of your art
Create more art
Believe that you’ll create even better art

Sometimes it can be difficult to let go and sell your art. That’s normal. Maybe your piece feels incredibly personal. Maybe you’re clinging to your pieces out of fear. But we need to get used to creating art to let it go.

“We almost always have our best work ahead of us.” - Miriam Schulman

Get over your scarcity selling mindset and have the confidence to create more art, and stay inspired.

257: Artist Brand Photography with Carolina Luna May 09, 2023

For artpreneurs, photography is a powerful way to position your art and your products online and create a visual identity that truly represents you and your work. In this episode, we’re talking all about branding photography.

Carolina Luna is a New York-based seasoned photographer and a branding and transformation catalyst. She works with entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries to help them build a strong social image with photography that’s as individual as they are, to match their personality and messaging. She teaches entrepreneurs how to build authenticity, authority, and credibility online using strategic photos as a positioning tool. Fun fact: she’s also the photographer that I hired for my book launch party for Artpreneur.

“The purpose of personal branding photography is not to make you look like who you are not. It’s to keep you as authentic as you are… showing little slices of your life to allow your audience to see how you live your life.” - Carolina Luna

So, what makes branding photography different from a regular photography session? A regular photography session takes pretty pictures. But branding photography gives you images that capture who you are, your work, and your message in a photo.

Here are three questions Carolina answers:

What are the common mistakes artpreneurs make when they post their photographs?
How do you choose locations when you’re doing brand photography to showcase the entrepreneur behind the brand?
What if you’re uncomfortable in front of the camera?

She also gives practical tips for your next branding photoshoot, like how to pose in front of the camera, what kinds of photos you need to take, and the conversations you need to have with your photographer before they start taking the photo.

“Everything that shows how you live your best life helps people to bond with you.” - Carolina Luna

And when it comes to choosing your photographer, Carolina advises that they should know marketing and understand branding so they can help you understand how you want to position yourself, elevate your vision, and help you capture how you want to be remembered as an artist.

256: 3 Art Selling Mistakes to Avoid May 02, 2023

I just got back from a week in Israel, and it was an amazing time with my family. In this episode, I’m sharing The Tale of Two Shopkeepers. One failed to sell me pieces I wanted to buy, and another sold me two pieces of something I didn’t even know I wanted. Two very different shopping experiences, and two different results.

Here are some of the selling points I noticed as a buyer that may help you sell your art:

Being helpful isn’t pushy.
Don’t put obstacles up for your customers.
Focus on the experience of your customers, not the transaction.

“Stoke your collector’s passion while they're in the throes of the experience.” - Miriam Schulman

I also introduce a new segment to the podcast called “The Art World Remembers,” and I answer a question from one of our Artist Incubator clients.

The stories I share in this episode are reminders for the next time you talk to your clients, and to give them an experience that will lead to your next sale.

255: Real Artists Don't Starve with Jeff Goins Apr 25, 2023

While I was writing the book proposal for Artpreneur I had to look at what other art books are out there and see how my book could fill a need that these books haven’t. And it was in this process that I came across today’s guest, Jeff Goins.

Jeff is a bestselling author, podcaster, blogger, marketer, speaker, and a few other things. Through his bestselling books, courses, coaching, and speeches, he shares his ongoing journey of transformation, inspiring creators like you to discover your voice and share it with the world. He’s also the founder of Fresh Complaint, a bespoke creative agency that helps thought leaders turn good ideas into big ideas. Among other titles, he wrote Real Artists Don’t Starve, where he debunks the myth of the starving artist with rules for artists who thrive.

“Being seen doing your work is the best marketing an artist can offer.” - Jeff Goins

With everything he’s done, Jeff has made more than a few observations about the world. Here are some common misconceptions about art that he busts today:

Real artists don’t care about money.
Real artists don’t need to do any marketing; they just have to make good art.

Artworks reach a point in creation when they are finished or complete.

“Art is not the thing you create. It is the process by which you create it.” - Jeff Goins

One of the things Jeff shares is that an art is never finished. A book is never done, it’s only due. Books and art belong to a certain point in time, and can never be recreated, even by the artist.

Are you aware of the different types of scams targeting art collectors and artists? In this episode, we break down three scams in detail. But it's not just the art world that's affected - there are millions of dollars in damages from fraudulent money orders and fake checks.

Here are three scams I’m breaking down in detail:

Buying your art as an NFT
Fake online order confirmation

According to the New York Times, there are about 124 million dollars in damages from more than 40,000 cases involving fraudulent foreign money orders or fake checks. And there were more than 250 million phishing attacks in 2022.

These numbers are high and alarming, so it’s important that we stay aware and educated. Don't miss out on this eye-opening episode full of valuable information.

253: Uncovering Your Personal Style with Judith Gaton Apr 11, 2023

Let's get real for a moment - have you ever considered how the underwear you wear affects your overall confidence and presentation to the world? You and I know that self-expression and confidence are key to success in our creative endeavors.

Joining us in this episode is personal stylist, certified life coach, and former lawyer, Judith Gaton. She’s also the author of How to be a F*cking Lady: A Modern Guide to Being Charming & Fierce AF. She lives by the motto that confident women leave legacies, and her life’s work is centered all around helping women find their confidence so they can leave their impact on the world.

So how much can actually be said about undergarments? Well, a lot as it turns out. Here are just three of the points Judith teaches us about in this episode:

The importance of underwear as foundational pieces
The value we assign to things we buy for ourselves
Finding your personal style and defining how you want to present yourself to the world

“For my clients, a lot of them forget they’re not a head floating around in the world. They are a head that requires a body to be fully functioning and comfortable in order to do whatever is their work in the world” - Judith Gaton

When you take the time to just stand still and assess how you’re feeling, as Judith said, you’ll find a treasure trove of information. It can be an uncomfortable hairstyle, ill-fitting undergarments, or just how the clothes you wear don’t feel like you.

252: 5 Strategies to Build Your Audience and Your Network with Mike Kim Apr 04, 2023

We’re all faced with the power and impact of relationships at some point in our lives, both personally and professionally. I think as artists, we’re usually introverted, and fostering relationships can present a challenge. But why are relationships so important?

Mike Kim is a business coach and marketing strategist who specializes in personal branding, product launch strategies, and copywriting. He’s the author of You Are the Brand and host of the podcast with the same title.

“Relationships are rocket ships. You can only go so far on your own.” - Mike Kim

Mike approaches marketing and establishing oneself by connecting and building relationships with people. In his book, he shared several strategies for building relationships. Here are three he talks about more in-depth in this episode:

Become someone else’s case study.
Invest in more exclusive opportunities.

The epic breakfast.

“It’s surprising how quickly your circles can change if you’re just a recommendable person.” - Mike Kim

One of Mike’s best bits of wisdom is to work on yourself to become someone who’s recommendable. Be someone who’s easy-going, easy to talk to, and easy to talk about (even when you’re not in the room!). Be someone who brings people together. The one who introduces amazing relationships.

When you come from a place of generosity, you lift others up, and advocate for them, you’ll be surprised by the quality of relationships you’ll easily build.

251: AI & Art: The Future of Creativity? with Steve Hoffman Mar 28, 2023

If you’ve been anywhere on the internet in the past months, you probably noticed the rise in discussions about AI. Whether it’s the AI pictures everyone’s posted on their Instagram or the increase in the buzz about Chat GPT, AI isn’t a topic you can miss. But with the rise of AI comes the rise of concern over the impact it could have for artists and creatives. To talk more about creativity and art, Steve Hoffman is joining us today.

Steve is the Chairman & CEO of Founders Space, a global innovation hub for entrepreneurs, corporations, and investors. Hoffman is also a venture investor, founder of three venture-backed and two bootstrapped startups, and author of several award-winning books, including Make Elephants Fly, Surviving a Startup, and The Five Forces.

“Art without opinions is just a pretty picture.” - Steve Hoffman

Steve is confident that AI won’t replace artists and creatives. And all those pretty pictures you see? They’re just pretty pictures. They aren’t art. AI is limited.

But what are the limitations of AI? And what sets these “pretty pictures” apart from art? Steve discusses more of these topics:

AI can’t have opinions, and all art has to come from opinions that allow it to impact people.
All AI is biased according to the data it’s been fed, and these limits may not be true for the artist.
Eventually, if you use AI enough times, everything it creates starts to look and sound the same, and that unique creativity is not something AI will be capable of having.

And Steve’s advice to artists? Don’t dismiss AI. It’s a tool you can utilize to create art you haven’t been able to create before.

250: Why Selling in Person Makes a Difference with David Meltzer Mar 21, 2023

In all the conversations with artists I’ve had, the number one thing that keeps on coming up is the reluctance to sell. I see this on websites that aren’t set up for buyers to easily be able to purchase their art and in their reluctance to sell in person. Our guest today is here to talk us through the different ways to sell and why it’s important for you to also do it in person.

David Meltzer is a legendary sports executive, entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder of Sports One Marketing. He served as the CEO of Lee Steinberg Sports & Entertainment Agency and is the author of Connected to Greatness.

So how do we find our audience, our buyers, and the people who’ll connect with and appreciate our art? Here’s what David shares:

You need to create opportunities for yourself.
Meet the buyer where they are comfortable.
Learn how to communicate and tell the story of your art.

“It’s so interesting how much we participate in perception that is working against ourselves.” - David Meltzer

David talked about how it’s up to us to meet people, put ourselves out there, and make our own opportunities. While this can be intimidating, he tells us how and why we need to do this in a beautiful and inspiring way.

249: 14 Ways to Use ChatGPT in your Art Business with Jen Lehner Mar 14, 2023

The buzz around AI, specifically ChatGPT, has been getting louder over the past few months. People are discovering more ways they can use this new technology in everyday tasks. Joining me today to talk about AI and ChatGPT is Jen Lehner.

Jen is a digital marketing and systems strategist. She teaches entrepreneurs how to grow their audience and monetize with social media, digital tools, and strategic outsourcing.

Jen describes ChatGPT as an artificial intelligence platform that’s been trained up to 2021 with knowledge of the world that you can have a conversation with.

“For anybody who’s hearing about this for the first time, I think the way to think about this is a way to enhance what we’re doing.” - Jen Lehner

How can we use AI to save time? Here are some uses Jen talks about more about:

AI can significantly cut down the hours when we use it to generate ideas, examples, and first drafts.
AI can help you start tasks you dread doing, like that email that you don’t want to send.
AI can be fun. Use it to write a story Godfather style. Use it to give instructions on how to remove peanut butter from a VCR sounding like the King James Version of the Bible.

AI can help you with job postings, legal documents, writing or correcting code, grammar and spell checks, rewrites, ideas and strategies for ads, headlines and subject lines, webinar ideas, topic outlines, titles, creative and engaging art descriptions, SEO keywords, and many other things.

As we’re watching the rise of AI and how it develops in real-time, just remember that it’s still just a tool. It requires knowledge and creativity to use. And no matter how human-like its outputs are, AI can never be creative or have new ideas.

248: What Literary Agents Are Really Looking for with Michele Martin Mar 07, 2023

A lot of people think about sharing their story and writing their own book. As a creative, my bets are that you’ve considered this idea as well. But the publishing world can be intimidating, and figuring out where to get started can be overwhelming.

Our guest today is Michele Martin. Michele is a literary agent and the founder of MDM Management. She started in the book publishing industry in the 1970s and has worked as an associate publisher at Random House, Simon Schuster, and other major book publishers. Most importantly, she’s my book agent for Artpreneur.

What makes your book proposal stand out to an agent? What makes them take a second look at your proposal in the middle of looking at hundreds of other proposals each week? Here are three pieces of advice from Michele:

Have a unique idea
Have an established platform
Have a defined, personal voice

“Your book has to be clearly new enough that they’re willing to take another book off the shelf to put yours on it.” - Michele Martin

Writing a book is a fun process. The journey to getting it published can be exciting. And there’s nothing like the feeling you get when people tell you that your book helped them, or that they connected with your story.

247: Your Voice Matters Feb 28, 2023

Have you ever encountered trolls and critics? In this day and age, anyone who puts anything of themselves out there can get criticized and receive negative comments. Even artists.

This episode is inspired by one such troll. This is a response to a troll who said, “You have an ugly voice.”

Negative comments aren’t about you. It’s a reflection of the person spreading negativity.

Everyone who’s ever done anything significant has faced criticism. You can’t change that. The only thing you can do is decide whether you’ll let them affect you. Will you?

“You have to love your voice, your style, and your art as it’s developing, as you’re uncovering it, as it is growing.” - Miriam Schulman

In this short episode, these are the three points I want to leave you with:

Marketing and mindset trump talent every time.
Stay true to the authentic you.
Find your voice, own, and express it.

“Some people will find fault with you no matter what you do. But if they hate you for your uniqueness, at least they’re hating you for the right reasons.” - Miriam Schulman

245: Think Like an Abundant Artist Feb 14, 2023

One of the biggest concerns of artists is pricing. What is the value of my art? Am I selling too high? Will anyone pay for this? And a lot of times, artists sell their art too low. The problem is whenever art is priced too low, it rings alarm bells in buyer’s mind and makes them ask “What’s wrong with it? Why is it too low? Is this real?”

“Not all buyers are looking for what’s cheapest, or even what’s most popular. A conscious consumer may care more about a company’s alignment with their values.” - Miriam Schulman

People are willing to pay for art and the value they see in it. And for us to be comfortable with charging for our art, we need to have a mindset shift around pricing.

Here are some things you might be wondering:

How to scale art and what sizes sell best?
How did the pandemic and the recession affect art sales??
Is it too late to start an art career?

When buyers buy art, they aren’t just paying for the piece. They are paying for the story, the fantasy, and the connection that comes with the piece. In fact, the recent global crises just further reminded people how much they want that escape and connection, and this is a good thing for artists. When you talk about your art, whether it’s on your website, in emails, or directly, in person, tell stories. Talk about your process, why you create art and the story behind each piece. Also, tell them stories of your past clients, and how they were able to connect with your art. You’ll never know which ones they’ll be able to connect with.

And never stop creating art. The world is always in need of more art.

244: Art is Life with Jerry Saltz Feb 07, 2023

Do you remember “finishing” a painting, or a writing and looking back at it a few days later and realizing that it’s not quite done yet? Did you ever wake up at 3 am only to be plagued by the voices that say just how terrible of an artist you are? These are universal experiences all artists share and our guest shares more about these.

Today’s guest is Jerry Saltz, and he’s seen enough art to know what he’s talking about. Jerry is an art critic, a columnist, and Senior Art Critic for New York Magazine. He was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism and is a two-time ASME Award winner. He’s authored several books including NYT Best Seller How to Be an Artist and Art is Life.

For many years now, Jerry’s days have been completely filled with art. From waking up in the morning trying to get to work as soon as possible, going through the New York art scene with his wife (who is also an art critic), discussing their thoughts over some classic NY pizza, and going home to write about what he just saw, he’s amassed a wide knowledge of art. And he talks more about the realizations he’s had throughout the years and the universal truths about art.

“Just get to work, artists. It’s not that hard to make bad art.” - Jerry Saltz

So what are these universal truths about art? Here are some that we talk about in this episode:

All artists make bad art
The impact of art and the statements they make
The process of making art and “leaving everything on the canvas.”

Art is powerful. Art leaves an impact. Everything you create will leave an impact, and maybe you’ll never even know what that impact is. But you can make a change. So keep on making art, even if it’s mediocre. Even if it’s bad. Because only you can make your art, and only you are capable of making your change. Listen to this episode to receive more inspiration, and hear Jerry’s story and funny, yet extremely relatable, anecdotes on art.

“Art does change lives and minds. And lives and people change the world.” - Jerry Saltz

243: Artpreneur is Born with Miriam Schulman Jan 31, 2023

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. Stay inspired!

242: What's Working Now with Social Media with Miriam Schulman Jan 24, 2023

When I submitted the book proposal for Artpreneur, the most pushback I got was on why I didn’t include a chapter on social media. I wanted my book to be a classic, to still be relevant in five years, and social media is evolving so often that I knew adding it would be a mistake. Instead of just dropping the topic completely, I decided to dive deeper and make a stronger case for why social media isn’t as important as you might believe.

The thing is, social media is no longer what it was. It’s constantly changing so the techniques that work now could no longer work in six months. The average engagement on some platforms is so low it’s not worth the time you need to put in to get those engagements.

“Marketing and mindset trump talent.” - Miriam Schulman

So how can you still use social media today so that it’s still worth your time and effort? Here are three topics I talk about more in this episode:

Secure earned media coverage to effectively expand your online presence.
Identify the most valuable social media platforms for your art and avoid the time wasters
Use social media to build relationships and engage with your audience, rather than a substitute for traditional marketing

“Traditional marketing trumps social media.” - Miriam Schulman

I’m not going to tell you to stop using social media. It still has its place. But you can’t let it be your only platform and it’s better to explore methods and channels beyond social media.

Message me on Instagram, DM me “Believe” and see for yourself how social media can be used to connect and you’ll receive the first chapter of my book Artpreneur for free.

241: Why Marketing and Mindset Trump Talent with Miriam Schulman Jan 17, 2023

I’m sure you’ve seen less talented people rise to the top while those with the talent don’t. It’s baffling and might even seem unfair. But what if I tell you that it’s all in the marketing?

In this episode, we discuss how marketing and mindset play important roles in your success, even more than talent. I talk about how famous artists (yes, even those from hundreds of years ago) utilized marketing to sell their art. And I even share personal stories where I saw and experienced how consistency led to better results than talent.

“I do believe anyone can be an artist. However, you need to develop the right mindset and learn the skills and techniques to get the results you want.” - Miriam Schulman

Why are marketing and mindset so important? Is talent still important? Here are the three thoughts I share that I want you to take home:

You need to learn marketing to be able to share and sell your art
Mindset is more important than marketing because marketing won’t work well without the right mindset behind it
Consistent effort over time trumps talent. All the time

“If you want to think like a famous artist, marketing matters.” - Miriam Schulman

I know it can be discouraging to see child prodigies paraded in the media or look at the works of the great masters and feel like we’ll never achieve what they did. I know that it can be baffling to see not-so-great art sell for a lot of money. But once you learn that it’s not just about the art, you can achieve your goal. Once you develop the mindset, learn the skills, and put in the effort, you’ll be able surprised by what you can achieve.

239: Humane Marketing with Sarah Santacroce and Miriam Schulman Jan 03, 2023

In marketing your business or selling your products through the traditional marketing methods, did you ever feel uncomfortable, unsure, or question whether this is really you? That’s exactly what our guest Sarah Santacroce felt while learning the trade of online marketing.

Sarah is an entrepreneur in the Marketing Space. She’s the Founder of the Humane Business Revolution and an internationally recognized LinkedIn Consultant, entrepreneur, podcaster, ‘Hippie turned Business Coach’ and author of ‘Marketing Like We’re Human‘ and ‘Selling Like We’re Human‘ books.

“We need a different way for entrepreneurs to … do marketing, and not just cookie cutter approaches. Yes, it has to do with the scarcity and the urgency, but… let’s look at what they’re meant for and let’s use them in a different way with empathy and kindness.” - Sarah Santacroce

So how do you start marketing with a humane approach? Here are some of the points Sarah raised that you can start applying today:

False urgency, scarcity, wealth-signaling, ang gap selling marketing are some of the anxiety-inducing marketing methods. With how much the world has consciously evolved in the past few years, they are now an outdated approach to marketing.
The reason why you are uncomfortable with selling and marketing has to do with worthiness and really believing in yourself.
Share the positive outcome of your product/service and use empathy and perspective-taking to connect with your clients.

“Let’s empower our clients. Let’s treat them as the smart human beings they are.” - Sarah Santacroce

The voices that say, “In order to succeed, you need to run your business this way,” or “In order to sell, you need to market this way,” can be overwhelming, especially when you feel that these methods aren’t true to who you are. The good news is that this is YOUR business. YOU are the one running it. YOU get to make the decision. And it’s possible to make decisions that are true to you, allows you to connect with your clients, and still be profitable.

238: An Artist's Guide to NFTs with Capucine Jenkins and Miriam Schulman Dec 27, 2022

NFTs are bridging the gap between art and technology but many artists (including myself) still don’t quite understand what they are and how to do them. In this episode our inspiration is NFT art and its ability to help us explore another stream of income and a look into the future. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scams circulating the internet praying on artists enticing them with quick money for an NFT of their work.

Luckily, our guest, Capucine Jenkins, curator of digital art and NFTs at Saatchi Art is here to demystify the process for us. Class is in session and she’s giving us the NFT 101 class so that you can see the opportunities that exist even if you’re a traditional artist.

“Much of our goal and objective really is to help artists help growing artists and definitely emerging artists make a livelihood for themselves.” - Capucine Jenkins

Everything you’ll need to start considering NFT art:

NFTs are so much more than JPGs
You don’t have to be a digital artist to sell NFTs
Art and technology don’t have to be in contrast of each other
NFTs are really about intellectual property and assets that allow you control as an artist

Capucine explains the opposing worlds of art before this NFT technology exploded in popularity, and the digital world that now exists for artists to live and thrive in. Capucine says that NFTs give you “a mid-tier place …to be able to have a livelihood.” Because it exists on a technology called the blockchain, there is no middle man, and your royalties, rights as an artist, and proper compensations are baked into these digital contracts called smart contracts.

“There's this understanding that art and tech are in contrast, or even in conflict with each other, when I think NFT's actually do the job of bridging that gap.” - Capucine Jenkins

237: Guarantee Your Success with Miriam Schulman Dec 20, 2022

The most common question I get asked by those who are considering joining my incubator is something similar to “What are the guaranteed results if I join?”

However, the only one who can guarantee your results are YOU. Results and success aren’t dependent on a program, it’s based on the work that you put in!

Not all students who apply to law or medical school get in. And not all who get in graduate. The ones who finish are the ones who put in the work. In the same way, not all participants of any program will have the same results.

“Only you can guarantee your result.” -Miriam Schulman

So what can you do to increase your results? Here are three points I discuss in detail on this episode:

You’re the only one who can guarantee your success. Your success is equivalent to the effort you put in
Give your relentless commitment and live the VIP life
Invest in your relationships

“Building an art business takes even more courage. Because you have to put in the perspiration behind the inspiration.” -Miriam Schulman

It can be equally terrifying and exciting to realize that the outcome of your work is dependent on you. Take this time as a year ends and another one begins, to plan for the next year ahead. Take this time to introspect and ask yourself: Who are you becoming? How are you showing up to the world? What are your dreams? Do your actions lead you towards your dreams? Remember that you’re the only one who can guarantee your success.

236: Write Your Book with Candice L. Davis and Miriam Schulman Dec 13, 2022

If you’ve been thinking about writing a book, let’s demystify the process. This episode shines a light on a few of the things that can make it a little less scary so you can actually write your book.

Candice L. Davis is the book coach behind my first published book, Artpreneur. We’re diving in and sharing many of the moments I’ve experienced becoming a published author and what Candice has seen many authors struggle with. It’s hard to take the first step when you think you’re the only one struggling with certain things. It’s easier when you see what’s possible in spite of your perceived challenges and learn there’s support and a way around the real and perceived challenges of writing your first book.

“You can become a great writer; these are just skills. It's a set of skills that you can develop” - Candice L. Davis

Things that will encourage you to write your book:

The challenges holding you back are common to many first-time writers
Writing a book for a publisher is a different kind of pressure, but it’s also rewarding
Releasing a published book is a team effort not a solo sport, get the help you need early

Writing a book takes much longer than I had anticipated, and it was a completely different experience than I believed it would be. Releasing a published book is truly like a birthing process, with pain and moments of frustration, but thankfully you get a whole team supporting the birth of your book if you take the traditional publishing route. The process and experience is so worth it in the end. I wish it for all of you wanting to share your message.

“Whatever you're creating, find a way to do it from a place of joy and desire.” - Candice L. Davis

235: Proposing Your Book to Publishers with Allison Lane and Miriam Schulman Dec 06, 2022

If you’ve been on the fence about publishing a book and overwhelmed about what goes into it, then this episode is going to answer many of your questions.

I have to admit, getting my book traditionally published was not as simple as I thought it would be, but I have no regrets about the journey.

Allison Lane helps people get published by guiding them through the process of writing a proposal to secure a book agent and ultimately get a publishing contract. I feel lucky to have had her guidance preparing my own book proposal for Artpreneur.

“The book proposal becomes the anchor to every author's marketing ecosystem.” -Allison Lane

We’re peeling back the layers of the marketing it takes to create a book proposal and what goes into pitching it. There are a number of areas you can get wrong attempting this process on your own, and Allison simplifies the process for you because of her marketing background.

Key insights we discuss about book proposals:

Your book proposal is an important marketing document that requires skill to pitch and is used even after the book is published
How the right book comps in your book proposal are key for the editor to see what audiences your book can be marketed to
Writing a captivating hook for the book proposal is a challenge when you don’t keep in mind who is reading it and for what purpose.
Be your best marketer by giving people access to you and how you and your work makes them feel

Pitching a book takes lots of specialized skills, industry knowledge, and effort. If I had chosen the self-publishing route, it would have been a much different experience, but it would’ve also turned out to be a much different book. Regardless of the route you decide to go, don’t be afraid to write your story and share it with the world.

“Words really matter and understanding who the end recipient of those words are is really about empathy and understanding, all communication strategy is.” -Allison Lane

234: She Builds with Jadah Sellner and Miriam Schulman Nov 29, 2022

You can build a successful business around your art and creative work without sacrificing what matters to you. Relationships, time for yourself, and space for creativity don’t need to be lost to hustle culture and burnout.

My guest today, Jadah Sellner, has built several successful companies and has experienced the burnout that is not sustainable. Now she helps women unleash their creativity, intuition and purpose through her books, her podcast, and coaching.

In this episode, we’re sharing just a few of the many golden lessons Jadah has in her latest book called She Builds. She values allowing yourself to follow your own intuitive path to create and build your own meaningful life.

“ Give ourselves permission to build a business from a place of love.” -Jadah Sellner

Lessons we discuss from Jadah’s book:

Move from strictly obsessive passion into a harmonious passion to avoid burnout
Toxic productivity and that constant feel of not enoughness are signs to slow down
3 kinds of mastermind support group buckets you need to excel in your journey
Writing a letter to your future yourself is meant to set the vision and intention

There are so many more lessons we didn't have the time to cover. She shares her wisdom and insights into things like high functioning anxiety, the cycle of fear, having calendar bodyguards and more in her book. The narrative around hustle culture is that it’s sexy and something to strive for and wear like a badge of honor. Jadah is breaking that narrative apart and refocusing on how to create a fuller, more meaningful life with room for success and love.

“Make space and time to dream about what it is that you want to create.” - Jadah Sellner

233: Leading with Your Inner Weirdo: A Conversation with Theresa Pridemore Nov 22, 2022

Embrace your inner weirdo and create beautiful art. The best art in this world is created by us weirdos. The word, weird, hasn’t always had negative connotations and carries so much more meaning that we give to it.

This time around, Theresa Pridemore is interviewing me. Listen and get ready to feel charged to create the art that only you can.

“When you’re embracing the weird you are embracing your destiny.” -Miriam Schulman

Today I’m sharing the key ideas you need to embrace your inner weirdo and give space for all the weird creativity you have to come out.

What we’re discussing:

9 steps you need to create your signature brand and style
Standing out is the key to getting noticed and distinguishing yourself
Don’t be afraid to amplify your imperfections and lean into your own style

The idea for this conversation is directly from Chapter 6 of my newest book, Artpreneur, which is your guide to turning your creative ideas into a business that sustains the life you want to live. Nurturing your inner weirdo and giving it the space and opportunity to distinguish you is one of the biggest gifts you can give to yourself.

You don’t have to be worried about getting it right all the time. You don’t need to be consumed with people pleasing to the extent that you no longer have a voice or a style.

“Give yourself permission to turn some people off.” - Theresa Pridemore

232: You Don't Have to Sell Art In Person with Marianne Nielsen Nov 15, 2022

Trying to earn a sustainable income from selling your art is never comfortable, but it’s always worth it. The push back I hear most often from artists is selling art through social media, doing shows in person, or getting their art into a gallery.

I want you to know that you don’t have the sell art in person to be successful, there are many options available, but you do have to pick something.

I’ve asked Marianne Nielsen to join us because she’s had the same aversion to selling in person and has found a way around it that is more natural and in flow with her and her art style.

“You have to do something, and then what you're doing, you have to lean into it really hard.” -Miriam Schulman

I want you to consider what methods of marketing and selling your art you’ve been most resistant to and what you could push yourself to try. Being uncomfortable is a part of your growth and journey as an artist and as a person.

Key ideas and thoughts we’re discussing:

Nurturing and growing your email list isn’t as scary as you think
The trick Marianne uses to get a 60% open rate on her emails
How Marianne is using Pinterest to grow her email list and get 200k+ visitors
Our reaction to Benjamin Moore’s color of the year for 2023

Marianne paints abstract art intuitively from her dining room overlooking the forest through the window, moved and inspired by her emotional state and mindset in the moment. As uncomfortable as she was to sending weekly emails, through my incubator program she allowed herself the discomfort and trusted the process. Selling art in person isn’t the only option, and between Marianne’s email list and Pinterest, there is inspiration for you to uncover what will work for you.

“Painting has been a huge emotional healing process for me, and it still is, [...] It taught me so much about myself.” - Marianne H. Nielsen

231: Manifest Your Wildest Dreams with Miriam Schulman Nov 08, 2022

You can manifest your wildest dreams even in your everyday life. What makes manifestation real is your ability and willingness to believe.

You need to believe and visualize what you want to bring it into your conscious awareness. -Miriam Schulman

What we’re exploring in this episode:

How you sabotage yourself when you’re not willing to believe
When you get clear with what you want, you’ll be able to call it into your conscious awareness.
How to open your mind to recognize when what you want comes your way[Text Wrapping Break]

We block our ability to manifest through a lack of belief. We don’t believe in ourselves. We don’t believe what’s really possible. We stand so firm on the very beliefs we should be questioning and end up undermining our own success.

The universe will bring you things when you get clear about what you want and the opportunities you’re looking for. You need positive belief and an open mind to recognize it when it comes your way.

230: Beautiful Writers with Linda Sivertsen and Miriam Schulman Nov 01, 2022

Start imaging your roadmap to becoming an author with insights and writing inspiration from my guest, Linda Sivertsen. She’s joining us to reveal how she helps writers navigate the beauty of writing a book and getting book proposals.

“I just happen to be one of those freaky weird people who just loves the selling process. I love book proposals.” -Linda Sivertsen

What we’re unpacking in this episode:

The birthing process of writing
Working with publishers and agents
Selling your book before you write it

There’s so much to unpack in the book writing process. It’s part beautiful, part painful, and part scary. Should you write a book, should you not write a book? One of the points Linda touches on is the pain of seeing someone die with the regret of not having written their story. Her beautiful reminder is to listen to your higher self when it comes to writing. If there’s an internal nudge and inner voice saying to write this book, whatever it is, listen!

“If you have the ache, you have what it takes to write.” -Linda Sivertsen

229: Tips to Sell More Art 2022 Oct 28, 2022

This Friday round up episode has 5 great tips to help you sell more art. No more starving artists here! Follow these simple steps to connecting with more customers and creating more sales.

Mind Your Body Language to Sell More Art

When you’re selling in person, body language matters. In fact, I think it matters even if you aren’t in person.

You don’t want to be the artist in the corner with your coffee. Plan to stand and project confidence and energy. Be mindful of the space that potential customers find comfortable, so they don’t feel like you’re hovering.

Be approachable and ready to connect.

Listen to Your Customers to Sell More Art

When talking to a customer, it’s hard not to interrupt. Don’t do it! Active listening will help you understand what’s important to them. You don’t need to convince anyone.

Feeling heard is going to mean much more to your customer. If selling more art is important to you, then pre-order a copy of Artpreneur and get the bonuses including the Artpreneur Affirmation Series.

Good Salespeople Versus Bad Salespeople

Bad salespeople feel like they have to convince. No one enjoys being talked at! Here’s what you can do instead. Draft some great questions to prompt conversations. You’ll sell more art, and people will truly enjoy talking to you too.

Why You Should Avoid Autoresponders on Social Media

Here’s why you should avoid autoresponders on social media. Bots and automation are not helpful. People who want to engage with you on social are looking for human interaction.

Nothing turns off a prospect faster than an automated response. When you respond, ask permission to take the next step. You don’t have to share everything in one long message. Allow the conversation to evolve naturally.

A Powerful Tip to Sell More Art

What’s in a name? Personalize your interactions and introduce yourself. It’s going to help spark conversations, and you’ll be much more likely to make a memorable impression. Be unforgettable and personable and you’ll sell more art.

More tips like this are in my book Artprenuer, available for pre-order now!

228: Marketing Lessons from Wall Street with Miriam Schulman Oct 25, 2022

Life’s lessons can come from unexpected sources. Looking back on my days working on Wall Street, I realize I was marketing myself even when I was an employee. So no matter what kind of work you do: for someone else, or for yourself, marketing matters.

Marketing is about making yourself memorable.

What we’re unpacking in this episode:

Extracting marketing lessons from my experience on Wall Street
What you can learn about selling art from purse parties
Refining your presentation skills and elevator pitch

There are so many more nuggets to be taken from this experience that I share here, such as knowing your clients and understanding how to present your art in terms that excite collectors versus the way some of us default to describing styles and mediums of art. I share a story about how the host shared her art collection with me, and it’s a great example you don’t want to miss.

People always collect art that has special meaning to them, and the more you can talk about your own personality, your own values, where you're from, the more likely you're going to connect…

227: How Artists Represent Feelings Oct 21, 2022

Many artists credit their work as a way to manage or deal with anxiety, depression and other forms of mental illness. Since October is Mental Health Awareness month, I wanted to share the stories of artists who found a way to deal with their illness by creating art.

Yayoi Kusama and Confronting Anxiety

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is known for her polka-dot art. She has been open about her mental health and shred that art has become her way to express her mental problems. In her words "I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieved my illness is to keep creating art.”

I feature her in my upcoming book Artpreneur when I talk about embracing your inner weirdo. Many artists suffer from anxiety and it’s one of the reasons that I have mental health experts on the podcast.

You can pre-order Artpreneur here.

Edvard Munch and The Scream

Edvard Much painted the scream a few years after his father passed away. He shared that the weight of the world had suddenly hit him. Growing up he was surrounded by death and depression and himself suffered with mental illness himself.

He said, “art comes from joy and pain, but mostly from pain.” I can relate to this. Maybe the art comes from pain, but it brings me great joy. Do you feel that way too?

Artist Agnes Martin and Mental Illness

Agnes Martin painted in a minimalist style but considered herself an part of the abstract expressionist movement. She suffered from hallucinations, depression and was often hospitalized and eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia.

She used subtle color and meticulously drawn grids to create a calming effect. About her work she said “art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.

Her work is also part of the Paul Allen billion-dollar art action at Christies later this month.

Abstract Artist Mark Rothko on Overcoming Sorrow

Rothko’s striking color combinations are meant to be meditations. He wanted to create art church’s where people could look at art and pray.

He said “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions and the fact that lots of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I communicate those basic emotions. The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience that I had when I painted them.

Art has a spiritual effect on me. Does it affect you that way too?

Let me know what you think.

Artist Paul Klee on Relieving Stress

Klee was a multi passionate artist who studied art and the violin. He was in his 30’s before he focused on his art career. Even then, he changed his style often to defy categorization.

He believed that creativity comes from beyond consciousness and that making art was a form of mediation. He said, “I paint in order not to cry.”

Why do you create art? I’d love to know.

225: Art Auctions Fall 2022 Oct 14, 2022

It’s going to be a busy fall in the art auction world.

Paul Allen's Art Collection Headed to Auction

The late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, was an avid art collector and it’s all going to auction. It’s valued at 1 billion dollars.

What can you get? One of my favorites is Gustav Klimt’s Birch Trees. It inspired me for more than one of my collage musical tree paintings.

You could also grab Georgia O’Keeffe’s White rose and works from Agnes Martin and Louise Bourgeois.

There doesn’t seem to be a recession when it comes to major collectors. This is expected to sell for the highest ever in art-auction history.

Grace Hartigan and the Ninth Street Women

Her work received new attention when it was part of an exhibit in Denver. She was also featured in the book Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art.

Elaine and Willem de Kooning

Elaine de Kooning was an accomplished landscape and portrait artist active in the Abstract Expressionist movement of the mid-twentieth century.

I knew about Willem and Elaine de Kooning, but I wasn’t aware that they had such a turbulent history. The couple had what was later called an open marriage; they both were casual about sex and about each other's affairs. They separated for years to reunite again later in life.

Elaine’s art reflected the turbulence similar to today’s world of conflict and uncertainty. You can find out more about her influences in the book Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art.

224: Sell More Art From an Open Studio with Miriam Schulman Oct 11, 2022

You can always use more ways to sell art, and I love sharing more ways for you to make extra money from your art. I shared 3 Quick Cash Strategies for Creatives in a previous episode, but today I’m bringing you another fun and simple way to quickly sell more art.

Today, I’m going to give you the rundown on how to sell more art from an open studio whether it’s indoors or outdoors!

“The number of people who buy versus the people who show up are always much higher, [...] most people who do show up are going to buy.”

What’s an open studio strategy
Why are open studios a great way to sell your art
How and what to sell during an open studio

If you’re considering new ways to make money as an artist, an open studio can be a great way to showcase your works in progress, your finished pieces, and any other items you may have such as calendars to sell. It’s a small and more intimate setup, so remember it’s okay to expect smaller numbers of people, and that means you’ll want to create an experience that’s inviting and great for collecting art.

“If you don’t have something that they want, now’s a good time to take a commission.”

223: Representing the Black Experience in Art Oct 07, 2022

This week my briefings were all related to my visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they have a number of exhibits representing the black experience in art.

Ceramic Face Vessels

Museums have been making an effort to reset the balance of their exhibits and the artists promoted. It’s part of the response to the social justice movements and subsequent conversations about the lived experience of non-white and other unrepresented artists.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art had several exhibits that highlighted previously overlooked artists. One of my favorite exhibits were ceramic face vessels.

If you’re visiting (or planning to visit) the Metropolitan Museum of Art, be sure to check out my secret hack that will allow you to skip the long lines at the main entrance.

Seneca Village Artists

I checked out the new exhibit called Afro-Futurism at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That’s where I learned about Seneca Village. It was a thriving community until the land was appropriated for the park and the museum. The exhibit attempts to portray what might have come from the artists if the village had been permitted to thrive.

I’d love it if you’d leave me a review for the Artpreneur Alexa skill. If you do, email a screen shot to hello@schulmanart.com and we’ll send you my eBook Unlocking Your Style as a thank you.

Representing the Black Experience Through Sculpture

While at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I came across an exhibit I was not expecting called Why Born Enslaved. It’s a single sculpture by artist Jean Baptist-Carpeaux.

He created this sculpture after emancipation in America and 20 years after slavery had been abolished in France as well. The sculpture is beautiful and it’s also a reminder that this woman was depicted as a slave in what could be considered an example of a white man’s vision of a woman in bondage.

It’s a good reminder that context is always a part of the artist’s vision.

For more on that topic, check out two great podcast conversations: How to Be an Anti-Racist Artist and Poverty Mindset, both with artist Erica Courdae.

Race and Winslow Homer

I visited this exhibit with two other artists from the incubator. We all loved his painting called Cotton Pickers. It’s a beautiful painting and we all felt that Homer depicted the two women in a powerful way without trying to romanticize the era.

His watercolors are all realistic, and he captures the expressions of the people in his paintings in a realistic way.

If you’d like to learn to paint watercolor portraits you can get my new Portrait Painting eBook (free!) that has my 5 steps, plus my recommended list of supplies to get you started.

Get Paid to Write Poetry

When I left the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I walked past a man with a typewriter and a sign that said poems $2. I was intrigued and asked him to write me a poem.

He asked me to share a bit about myself and he wrote a poem just for me. You can follow him on Instagram at j.d.b

My book, Artpreneur The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity, is now available for pre-sale. It’s for poets and artists everywhere.

222: How to Find Time for Your Art Oct 04, 2022

Do you struggle with finding time to do what you love, like your art? Instead of beating yourself up over it, it’s time to make a plan and get really intentional about making time for your creativity.

In this episode I’m going to give you 3 strategic ways you can start finding more time for your art starting today!

“Value your time as much as you value your artwork”

Areas you’ll likely find more time for your art:

An accountability system that involves other people works really well
Recover your time by outsourcing what you can
Pay attention to your avoidant behaviors blocking your time for art

Looking at all the ways you procrastinate is a great way to uncover if something more serious is going on that you’ll need to address. You can tackle the things blocking your time for art, but unless you efficiently manage your time and your energy you may actually miss bigger issues going on.

“It’s not just about having more time to do what you want to do, it’s also about managing your energy.”

221: Death of the Instagram Influencer Sep 30, 2022

This week I’m talking about the death of the business card and social media. What do you do when Instagram stops working for you? How do you manage when things change in the social media world?

The Death of the Business Card

I recently had new business cards printed up for those in-person events when people can’t see my name on the Zoom screen.

There are other ways to share info. QR codes come to mind, and I was recently made aware that you can get a chip embedded in your hand that people can scan with their phone.

No thank you!

Business cards can be helpful when you are meeting people in a social or network setting. Hear the 3 ways I use them to connect and keep in touch.

The Rise of the Product Drop

Technology is changing how companies are launching all types of products. Artists should pay attention to this effective strategy.

Using exclusivity to create demand is good news and good business for artists.

Artists Tell Instagram ' Stop Tryin to be TikTok'

Instagram creators are NOT happy. Over 300,000 people signed a petition complaining about the recent changes. Emphasizing video content instead of the graphics and photos that we all loved has created havoc for many artists and other businesses.

The problem isn’t algorithm changes. The problem is relying on social media sites to reach your new and existing clients.

I’ve been telling everyone who’ll listen to create your own platform (hello email list!) so you can always reach those who’ve raised their hand to get your info.

Instagram Failing to Keep Up with TikTok

Are you using Instagram less than you used to? The content I create is getting less engagement. Instagram is failing to make reels effective by punishing people for reposting the same content.

I want you to use your creativity on your art, not creating social posts that few will see or spending hours on a video hoping it gets some traction.

Find out what am doing instead.

The Future of Marketing is Email, Not Social Media

Tik Tok is taking over, and Instagram is no longer working. What am I recommending to my artist clients instead?

Hear an excerpt from my upcoming book where I lay out the exact strategy that continues to work for me.

Here’s what you need to know: email marketing is more effective than social media in almost every category!

That’s why my book Artpreneur highlights time-tested principles to help you grow your art business.

220: How to Deal with Haters, Trolls, and Critics with Miriam Schulman Sep 27, 2022

What do you do when trolls, haters or critics leave negative comments? Well, this is the nature of being in a digital world. Everyone online has an opinion and some of them seem to make it their mission to leave negative comments and reviews.

There’s a difference between constructive criticism, feedback, and comments that challenge you in a productive and respectful way. However, comments that offer absolutely no value can hurt, especially if they detract from your content.

In today’s solo episode, I’m giving you 8 ways to better deal with the haters, the critics, and those pesky trolls so you can stay inspired and continue sharing.

The very first way to deal with negativity from the mean trio of online commentators, is to just anticipate it. You know they’re out there, and the sooner you make peace with the fact that these kinds of people exist, the better your perspective and ability to handle those comments when you see them.

If all you have is positive reviews and comments on your work, it may indicate that you’re playing too small. Everyone from Brene Brown to the Dalai Lama receives negative comments, and you’re no exception, so anticipate it and don’t be surprised by it.

“I always have compassion when people are coming from a place that even if they are being hateful, that they just have different experiences than I do.”

I lay out 8 ideas and tips for dealing with the haters, critics, and trolls online when you’re growing your business as an artist and knowing your own truth is another part of it you don’t want to miss.

219: Radically Free Portrait Artists Sep 23, 2022

This week we’re covering the artists behind the official White House portraits, the artist and singer-songwriter Issy Wood, enslaved pottery artists, and American outsider artist Nellie Mae Rowe.

Official Obama Portraits Unveiled at the White House

The White House held a ceremony to unveil the official portraits of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. Better late than never, right?

Artist Robert McCurdy painted the official portrait of President Obama. He tells his subjects not to smile and to look directly into the camera to capture a transcendental moment.

Michelle Obama selected artist Sharon Sprung. Mrs. Obama’s statement about how a girl like her was never meant to be in the White House is inspiring.

For more information on the Smithsonian portraits, check out podcast episode 127, Rise of the Black Portrait Artist

Portrait Artist Sharon Sprung

The identity of the presidential portrait artists is top secret, and it’s usually revealed about a year after a former president leaves office.

Sharon Sprung painted the official portrait of first lady Michelle Obama. Although she completed it in 9 months, she had to keep the portrait and the fact that she’d done this important work secret for over 5 years!

She was inspired to paint portraits by the early death and memory of her father.

If you think you’d like to paint portraits, you can take my free class, 5 Simple Steps to Painting Portraits That Your Friends and Family Love

Art and Albums: Artist and Singer Songwriter Issy Wood

Artist and singer-songwriter Issy Woods (as well as Joni Mitchell) proves that it’s possible to be a multi-passionate artist.

Her art and her music are provocative, and like the trial-blazer she is, her album is titled My Body Your Choice.

She’s outspoken, opinionated, talented, and not afraid to let her art reflect her passions.

If you’d like to know more about how to generate hype around your work, you’ll love hearing my conversation with Michael Schein, The Hype Handbook with Michael F. Schein

Enslaved Potters

There is a new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina.

One of the items exhibited by artist Dave Drake is a piece of pottery signed with his name Dave and the word “concatenation”

When I was researching and writing my book, Artpreneur, I was intentional about being inclusive. Too many books about art only talk about white, cisgendered men. Sharing the story of artists like Dave is important to inspire the next generation of artists.

It isn’t out until January, but you can get pre-order bonuses now!

The Art of Nellie Mae Rowe

The American artist Nellie Mae Rowe was in her 60’s when she began to transform her Atlanta home into what she called her playhouse. It became a destination for artists until she passed away in 1982.

Check out her art in the book Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe.

218: How to Use Your Natural Genius to Sell More Art with Anna Tsui and Miriam Schulman Sep 20, 2022

If you’re feeling like a fish out of water when it comes to sales and marketing, you’re not alone! Sales makes many people uncomfortable, but what if increasing your sales was possible without focusing on selling?

What if you could use your genius, your natural enthusiasm and flow state to sell more art?

Anna Tsui is an intuitive business coach, writer and international speaker that helps people unlock their genius flow. She’s worked with Harvard University, Boston Business Women, and even the Boston Police Department, teaching others how to let their genius fuel their business and success is her superpower.

In this episode Anna unpacks so much wisdom about how to operate within your genius flow:

How to identify your innate genius
Approaching sales from your energetic genius rather than ego
Leading with your inspiration and love for connection first over sales (for now)

Tsui shares how some of the practices you’ve been taught may actually be closing down your genius. Sometimes we have an aversion to sales and marketing because we haven’t developed the muscle to show up as our most authentic selves . Anna shows us how to connect and energize the space you’re in even more.

Instead of stressing yourself out over more followers and more emails, focus on people and building genuine connections. Lead with curiosity and give yourself permission to not think about sales for a moment by creating more space and opportunity for your genius to lead and inspire others.

“Our genius is the thing we discount the most, but it’s also the thing that people will pay the most for, and that makes us truly unique.” -Anna Tsui

217: No More Boring Art Sep 16, 2022

Should Instagram Get to Censor Art?

Whether we like it or not, they are.

Their guidelines explicitly allow for real world art that depicts sexual content. Some artists are being banned completely.

A good example: The Little Black Gallery in London had their entire account deleted for a congratulatory post that had a silhouette image of a woman.

Artists need a platform to be seen.

I ran into an issue when I tried to promote my watercolor class Go Figure. This course will help you paint realistic and natural human figure, and my very non-explicit image was considered too explicit for Instagram.

Click here for access to my Go Figure class.

Why Art is Now Boring

Do you like art that’s interesting, pushing boundaries or boring vanilla art? I know you all want interesting art. So why has art become boring?

Journalist, Michelle Goldberg wrote about the new book by W. David Marx Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change

Goldberg shares that the book highlights how we use art and fashion to demonstrate our social status, but the author no longer thinks it’s no longer working. Why? Several reasons but one of the biggest is the ability we have to fake our “image” with filters or by photoshopping ourselves next to a private plane.

For links to this and other great reads check out my book club list.

The Dark Side of Matisse

The Red Studio Exhibit shows the famous Matisse painting of his studio. The exhibit pulls out each piece of art and other things in the room.

It’s made me aware of a backstory that I didn’t know until now. The nude painting depicted is likely that of Matisse’s daughter who would have been 16 or 17 at the time.

It makes me see this in a new light. What do you think?

Join the conversation and let me know what you think on Instagram.

Big Eyes: The Art of Margaret Keane

Margaret D. H. Keane (born Peggy Doris Hawkins, September 15, 1927 – June 26, 2022) was an American artist known for her paintings of subjects with big eyes. She mainly painted women, children, or animals in oil or mixed media.

Her husband was originally credited for her work, but she claimed ownership after they divorced. They had to have a “paint off” in court so she could prove it was her work!

A resurgence of interest in Margaret Keane's work followed the release of Tim Burton's 2014 biopic Big Eyes which I highly recommend.

If you are struggling to gain recognition for your work, I’ve got you.

Check out podcast episode 170, Top Insider Publicity Secrets with Senior Media Coach Lynya Floyd

Art World News Weekend Edition

It’s been a busy week. We’ve covered censorship on Instagram. Additionally, we found out that art is now boring from author W. David Marx.

I’m still checking out your comments about the ethics of Matisse’s painting of his daughter.

Lastly, I loved sharing Margaret Keane’s story about her art, her fight to claim her own work, and why her method of painting eyes came about.

Until next time, stay inspired.

216: Your Thoughts Create Your Results with Shaun Roney and Miriam Schulman Sep 13, 2022

Artists are beautifully creative people and I believe that all artists can make a living and thrive from their art. There’s personal work that needs to be done with your mindset, and skills that need to be learned such as marketing, building your email list, and learning how to attract the right audience and paying clients, but it can be so rewarding.

Today’s episode is from our 200th episode coaching party where Shaun Roney and I answer questions that were submitted. Shaun is our mindset maven in the Artist Incubator Program. She helps artist with the mindset piece, and more specifically she helps people with neurodiverse brains manage their focus.

There are so many gems in this episode to help you wherever you are on your journey. Some key ideas we tackle in this episode include:

The difference between an artist thriving and starving is the quality of their thinking
Being a successful artist means growing your email list first (social media 2nd)
Lead with more of you and your authenticity to find your audience
You can have different styles of art and still niche down
There’s plenty of opportunity selling in a downturn market. Mindset is key
Having judgement for others results in self-judgement and insecurity

Whether your biggest struggle is finding your audience or actually doing the things that will move you forward, it’s so important that you realize how huge your thoughts are in your success and failures. What you believe about yourself, about the process, and about the people sharing key insights with you leads you to results or to sameness. You have to decide what to believe and what to think for yourself.

“When you're believing that the time is not right, it’s going to create a feeling in you, and you're going to show up a certain way, and it's going to absolutely prove to your mind that the time is not right.” -Shaun Roney

215: What Is Art? Sep 09, 2022

Writing Lessons from Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron was one of the most popular and accomplished writers in American literature and film. She did it all. Movies, books, essays, magazine articles and more.

Today I’m sharing her strategies that you can use to improve your own writing.

For more helpful writing tips check out podcast episode 171: Words that Sell: 5 Top Copywriters Share their Best Advice with Laura Belgray, Lacy Boggs, Tarzan Kay, Kimberly Houston, and Danielle Weil

The New York Art Scene Circa 1962

There’s an exhibit called New York 1962-1964 covering that 3-year period of art in the city. It was a time of epic changes, and the exhibit explores the way artists documented the era.

Looking at art through the lens of the events during that time frame reminds me that what’s happening in our world impacts how we see and experience events which affects our expression and the art we create.

Does the Supreme Court get to decide: What is Art?

This fall the supreme court is going to hear a case about Andy Warhol’s paintings of the artist known as Prince. Specifically, the legal concern is if the images violate the copywrite law with a portrait of the musician.

Essentially, they are deciding “what is art?” Why is this coming up now? The Andy Warhol foundation has licensed work that was originally based on a single-use license.

It’s complicated and I have lots of questions. Let me know what you think on Instagram.

Take Yourself Seriously as an Artist

Did you read any books written by July Blume? Her book Are you There God, It’s me Margaret was instructional for me as a young 4th grader. A movie based on the book will be released in 2023.

This was the first of 29 books written by Blume but when this was published everyone, including her husband (at the time) laughed at the idea that she was a writer.

Not Judy. She knew she was a writer.

It’s time to re-write your story. Start taking yourself seriously. I want you to choose to believe in yourself as the artists, the writer, the creator that you are.

Your Friends Shape Your Mindset

A new study from Harvard found that poor children found that kids who had friends from across class lines has better outcomes that those who didn’t.

I became friends with a group of girls, and we decided that we were gifted. We talked about becoming poets and artists and though I am not in touch with them now, I found out that is exactly what happened for at least 2 of them. The seeds of who we were and who we became were planted during those 6th grade friendships.

Our friendships shape what we see as normal. It helped us all believe what was possible for us.

214: Money Mindset Makeover with Serena Hicks and Miriam Schulman Sep 06, 2022

It’s so interesting that while many of us would enthusiastically agree that we’d love to be financially free and independent, most of us have terrible language and poor choice of words around our money conversations.

Whether you’re talking about what you can afford or how much you’d like to charge for your next art project, the words you use may seem insignificant, but be warned, they are sabotaging your efforts to get what you really want.

Today’s episode with Serena Hicks is kind of a BIG deal because it may very well be the money mindset breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Serena nurtures and educates people that want to be in a loving, healthy, and easy relationship with money. She is about two things, and that’s BIG happy money and having BIG fun!

What core ideas around money are going to take you from where you are now, playing small, not charging what you want and deserve, living the starving artist life to living life in abundance and radical self-love, minus the financial struggles and martyrdom?

Core Money Mindset Makeover Ideas:

Eliminate the “harmless” language and replace it with empowering language
Someone choosing not to spend money with you doesn’t mean it’s too expensive
Thinking that people won’t spend money, attracts people that won’t spend money
Money does matter, demonizing it is keeping you powerless
If you’re selling art, it’s about money
Feel wealthy by celebrating the small wins along the way

“There is a client at every single price point. And there's a critic at every single price point.” - Serena Hicks

Serena shares so many golden nuggets of money wisdom, and everything she shares is super practical. Pricing your art or creative work is challenging. There are so many hurdles to jump to get into an empowering mindset that allows you to charge what is right with conviction, and it starts with you and how you see money and financial choices. Serena explains why you have to stop seeing your pricing as expensive and start seeing it as expansive. A great way to start is using the examples here to replace “harmless” language.

“Harmless” language vs. Empowering language

I can’t afford that vs. I choose not to prioritize that at this time
I only have X number of clients vs. I already have X number of clients!
That’s too expensive vs. that’s not something I choose to invest in at this time

“So many artists have been conditioned, like the starving artists is a social norm, and I think it's easy for that to be a badge of honor, and I offer that it's optional.” - Serena Hicks

213: What You Need to Teach Art Online Sep 02, 2022

How to Choose a Course Topic

Are you one of those people who have too many ideas? For those of us who love diving into new projects, picking a topic can stop us before we get started. Focus can help when it’s time to create your course.

To get your started, I’m outlining 3 ways to narrow your focus so you can decide on the main thing. A final note: don’t worry if someone else has already done it. As artists we’re all bringing our own special sauce that’s not going to be like any others.

Join Amy’s Bootcamp!

Your First Online Art Class

Did you know that art classes are the most popular types of online learning courses? It’s true. In fact, online learning as a whole is growing. World Economic Forum explains that over 200 million people are looking for online learning opportunities, like yours.

For more info about how to get started check out my recent interview with Amy Porterfield.

3 Ways to Produce an Online Class

Creating an online class does not have to be complicated. I outline 3 ways you can do this, including low-tech to a bit more tech-involved. These strategies work well by the way, and you can create value for your learner easier than you might expect.

Don’t let lack of tech resources stop you from getting started.

How to Choose a Course Name

You have a great course idea. You’re ready to go and now it’s time to figure out a name so you can promote it to your fans. I’ve got you covered with my 7-point checklist.

Is it easy to remember?
Is it easy to say out loud?
Are there keywords that your audience will recognize? (I’ve got a great example)
Is it interesting?
Is the name a bit too creative?
Will the name explain what the class is about?
Does the name resonate with the students looking for your class?

Grab the Create Your First Online Art Class resource that Amy Porterfield and I created for you!

Artist Success Stories

When I wanted to sell my first art class, I didn’t have many people on my email list. I knew I needed to reach new people, so I used Facebook ads. I’m explaining my exact strategy that you can copy in your own way.

This has worked for many others and I’m sharing examples because I want you to know you can do this too.

Don’t forget the resources that are ready to help you successfully create and sell your own online art class.

212: Your First Online Art Class with Amy Porterfield and Miriam Schulman Aug 30, 2022

If you are an artist or identify as a creative of any kind, chances are you should probably consider how to start you first online art class. It can be a scary process that makes you question yourself, but it can also be one of the most profitable things you can do.

Today we have Amy Porterfield, the online marketing expert herself, here with a run down on everything you need to know to get out of your comfort zone and start creating your own online course. Amy is also the host of the top ranked podcast Marketing Made Simple.

This episode is packed with plenty of goodies for you to digest and get started.

Biggest Mistakes of First Time Course Creators:

Not growing your email list ASAP
Giving everything you know away at once, producing overwhelm
Waiting too long to get started

Amy gets into the heart of the matter and breaks down how to market to your audience. What a good advertising budget is for different stages, and how much you can charge for 3 different types of classes, all of which she explains in detail.

Even with all of these components being planned, it’s still easy to sit back with imposter syndrome wondering why anyone would want to pay for an online art class from you. Amy gives you 3 super reasons why people want and need an art class from you specifically.

“There is absolutely a way to get your skill set and your talents into a digital course and reach far more people than you ever would in an in person workshop.” - Amy Porterfield

If you haven’t begun building your online course yet, Amy warns that you need to start building your email list and prioritize it in your plans. Social media is fickle and can be in your favor one day and against you the next day because of algorithms. Amy’s emphasis is that you at least own your email list.

“If you only build your business on social media, you are building it on rented land.” - Amy Porterfield

211: What We Can Learn from the Old Masters Aug 26, 2022

What Can We Learn From the Masters?

How do we deal with the pain in the world and still carry on? I know it feels like we’re living during one of the most challenging times, but the truth is, there has always been chaos and pain and heartache in the world.

When you feel down, poetry may help. Listen to hear the poem Musee des Beaux Arts by W. H. Auden for a bit of inspiration.

Declare Your Identity as an Artist

Impostor syndrome. Who am I to write a book or sell my art? I’ve been there, and I also realized I could figure it out.

If you are struggling to call yourself an artist here’s what I want you to do. Declare it to everyone! Share this from a place of connection. When you practice showing up in the world as an artist you begin to re-write your story.

Get Artist Affirmations Here (Plus the bonus from Amy Porterfield)

What Kinds of Online Classes Can You Create as an Artist

When you are starting out in the digital course world, it’s overwhelming. There are so many options, so I recommend starting with these 3 concepts:

A starter course like Watercolor Secrets
A spotlight course like Spirited Sunflowers
A signature course like Watercolor Portrait Academy

This is the framework I used to grow my business. I have a great resource to help you get started: The Course Creator Starter Kit.

For even more help you can get access to a free training from expert Amy Porterfield. Join her 5 Day Bootcamp to help you claim success when it comes to teaching your online class.

Discover the 9 Tools Recommended by Top Artists to Create Stunning Art Videos

When I first started creating art video tutorials, I was overwhelmed with all the options. I asked for help to get the right set up that works for me. After 10 years, I’ve streamlined things and I’m sharing them with you today.

Digital Camcorder with a rotating view finder
Tripod with multi-angle rotation
Webcam for your laptop or PC
Microphone
Lighting (especially if you don’t have lots of natural light)
Cyberlink software
Memory card for your camcorder
Kajabi – online course platform

Fight for Your Art Dreams

100 years ago today, the 19th amendment was signed giving women the right to vote. It’s also the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”

There are numerous women artists that inspire me. I can name so many just off the top of my head so was disappointing to hear that less than 10% of the art at the MOMA were by women artists. That was in 2002, and sadly it hasn’t changed much in the past 20 years.

We don’t have to be a statistic. We can fight. I believe in you, in your art, and your dream.

Here’s a quick recap of all the free resources we talked about today- 12 Artpreneur Affirmations schulmanArt.com/AFFIRMATIONS Course Creator Starter Kit schulmanart.com/GUIDE Art Video Tech set up list schulmanart.com/tech

210: 3 Quick Cash Strategies for Creatives with Miriam Schulman Aug 23, 2022

Regardless of your creative medium, earning extra cash is a bonus no matter where you are in your artist’s journey. Nothing breaks my heart more than meeting artists that want to expand their business skills and become more successful, but are stuck because they don’t have the money to invest.

Today, I’m sharing 3 quick strategies that will help creatives earn an extra $1000-$2000. These strategies don’t require much time or money from you, just the willingness to show up and go after what you want.

3 Quick Cash Strategies That Work:

One-day workshop
Easy furniture flip
Calendar presale for the Fall season

The discomfort of being an artist and following your passion in a way that allows you to monetize those skills is the business side. Sales and business are a necessary part of a successful artist’s business.

In my Artist Incubator program I share the step-by-step process you’ll need to execute on even more strategies that will earn more than $10K. My programs are designed to give artists the skills and strategies they will need to grow. If you want to create an online course, I’ve also created the Course Creation Playbook, which you can download for free and get started right away.

Affirmations for Artists

I recently moved to the upper west side in NYC, and it’s got me feeling like I’m living inside a Seinfeld episode complete with our own Kramer in the building.

A favorite episode is one where Jerry’s friend George is afraid his show might be successful which can only mean something terrible is going to happen. Fear of failure is more common than you might think.

Focus on your steps to success instead of worrying about what might (or might not) happen.

How to Get People to Connect with You and Your Art

No matter the type of art you create, words will be necessary. Lean into who you are, what you believe and the why about what you do.

If it’s easier to talk about this instead of writing, have a conversation with a friend explaining these concepts about your art in general or a latest piece. Have it transcribed and use those words and phrases on your website and in social media.

Meet Artist Beverly Barkat

I recently took a trip to Israel to visit my son. While I was there, we went to see an amazing sculpture called Earth Poetica by artist Beverly Barkat. She turned trash into art and seeing it in person was well worth it.

Her work reminds us of the world’s plastic trash problem and our connection to nature.

208: Mindset Reset with Shaun Roney and Miriam Schulman Aug 16, 2022

Being an artist is beautiful and rewarding while also being a challenge. Very few truly understand the spiritual journey of an artist striving towards success.

There is a notion that the life of an artist is all struggle and mental torment, and that couldn’t be further from the truth when you have the right tools and the right community and type of support that caters to your creativity and success.

The Artist Incubator Programs offered by Schulman Art are directed to more than skill and business, they were developed with emphasis on the mindset component of the artist’s journey.

Shaun Roney has been a guest on this podcast before and is also one of our Motivational Monday coaches. In this episode I’m highlighting key mindset struggles of artists that Shaun speaks to directly.

3 Mindset Struggles You’re Probably Facing as an Artist:

Money and Abundance
Emotional Childhood versus Emotional Adulthood
Analysis Paralysis

“It takes work, some energy and some intentionality to think in a different way.” -Shaun Roney

Shaun Roney is a certified ADHD and Life Coach with Revealed Path Life. She joins Miriam’s Artist Incubator, which offers monthly coaching sessions, to share her wisdom, experience and solutions to the things that keep us stuck as artists.

207: Are Artists Born or Made? Aug 12, 2022

Finding Your Artist Spark

Harvey Dinnerstein, Proudly Realistic Painter, passed away at 94. He documented the early days of the civil rights movement in evocative drawings. Later, his paintings examined details of the everyday life around him. Hear how current events prompted him to use art to chronicle the people in the civil rights movement.

He had to stop teaching when the pandemic hit, but he never stopped creating. Hear his philosophy on finding the artists spark in the absence of inspiration.

Looking for some inspiration? Listen to episode 123, Restore Your Artists Heart here

How to Evoke Emotion with Your Descriptions of Your Artwork

Many lingerie brands use descriptive words that connote romance, seduction, and sex to describe their products. The Natori brand went in a completely different direction, appealing to modern women who want to feel sophisticated. Their marketing copy is crafted accordingly.

Successful brands use feeling words to describe their product. Instead of being perceived as a commodity, Natori counts on us feeling good about ourselves when we wear their brand.

People will pay more for a product that makes them feel good and gives them pleasure. This is one of the things I break down in a chapter of my upcoming book.

Is it Worth it?

I recently moved to a two-bedroom apartment in NYC. I love our life here, but I find myself dreaming of more windows and natural light. While preparing to move in, I found out there was an extra window that had been intentionally covered by sheet rock for a specific design aesthetic that the previous owner wanted. Is it worth knocking down a wall for the extra light?

Is it worth it is a question I hear in my artist community. Is it worth it to create a website for my art? Is it worth it to continue painting if I’m not selling much work? Is a show in the city worth it?

Is there a window hidden behind the wall in your life? I believe it’s always worth it.

For support to be the artist you are meant to be check out the resources ready and waiting for you in the Artist Incubator.

Are We Born Artists?

Arnold Skolnick designed the iconic poster for the famed festival in 1969. He actually did it in a weekend after the first design was rejected by the local merchants. He was paid $12,000, a hefty sum in 1969 to be sure.

Skolnick is also known for his belief that “you don’t become an artist, you either are or are not.” I’d love to know what you think. I’ve shared this on Instagram and would love your insights.

Keeping Up With What’s Working Now

When I was getting ready to sell my suburban home, I had a rude awakening. I was told that my brown furniture was out of style and I was even asked to remove some of it. Then I decided if brown wasn’t working then I’ll paint it all white.

A friend asked me how I knew what to do. Honestly, I didn’t. I asked at the hardware store and with some painful trial and error, I figured out a method that worked for me.

I’ve had 25 years of trial and error making a living as an artist. My incubator is where you can get the short cuts and insights and the benefit of the lessons I learned along the way.

Here’s a great example of keeping up with what’s working or, like my brown furniture, what’s not working. Check out What’s Wrong with Your Instagram (and how to make it better) here.

206: Investing in Yourself With Wildlife Artist Priya Gore and Miriam Schulman Aug 09, 2022

“When you invest in yourself, the universe invests in you.” -unknown

Becoming wildly successful does not happen by chance or accident. Success isn't something most people just stumble into, but it is something many of us can make a reality. You have to be willing to put in the work it takes to achieve greatness, and it starts with investing in yourself.

Today’s guest, Priya Gore, comes from an engineering background and a family of doctors that wouldn’t readily accept a career in art as a successful choice, and yet Priya is living life as a wildlife artist out of Australia.

Key Highlights of a Successful 6-Figure Career in Art

Priya invested in herself with the Artist Incubator Coaching Program 1st
She is allowing herself to focus on a style and genre
Being a niched artist allows you to build series that interests collectors
Having an advertising budget creates higher revenue opportunities
You have to focus on production 80% of the time to hit new levels of success
Enjoying the process is a must for the ultimate experience

“Having a niche, and really understanding what that is, and a focus style will make you more successful…”

-Miriam Schulman

In this episode, Priya unpacks in great detail how she’s been able to generate a 6-figure income selling art to collectors through the Australian based company Blue Thumb. When you consider her advertising budget, how she’s strategically increasing her individual art sales, growing her base of collectors and that she started with investing in a coaching program, her success as an artist looks less coincidental and more tactical in how she’s approaching art as a business. When you invest in yourself, other people will get behind you. This is how Priya’s advertising dollars with Blue Thumb are being maximized.

“I don't think it's about easy or challenging, but it's just about that I enjoy the process.”

-Priya Gore

205: Forget Perfectionism in Your Art Aug 05, 2022

What Artists Can learn from the Venice Biennale Curator

This is the world’s longest running, large scale survey of contemporary art. It is looked to locally and internationally to discover the next new great artist. The curator is Cecilia Alemani, and I went to hear her share her insights about the exhibition. She went into detail about how she made the multitude of decisions involved in this exhibit.

Hear how she uses a 3D layout and how she chose the name for the exhibition in addition to how she selected the art itself. Her strategies are something you can use as well.

Classic Artist Mistakes

On the upper west side in NYC, there’s a “flea market” every Sunday. I have checked it out a few times and I wanted to coach some of the artists so that they could sell more art and make more money.

Collect addresses to follow up – this is too not be doing it.
Offer to keep in touch. I had to ask an artist multiple times how I could connect with him in the future. Make it easy!

Where Can You See Bansky in New York City

I recently saw graffiti art here in NYC by the street artist Bansky. He’s from Great Britain and in addition to his art, he is also an activist. Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based Street artist, political activist and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation.

He combines existing items into his art. If you are in NY, you can see his art on the south wall on the Designer Show Warehouse at 79th street and Broadway. The owner of the building has taken steps to preserve the art, so hopefully it will be there for many more years.

The Art World remembers Edmonia Lewis

I love to find the most interesting stamps when I go to the post office. Nothing wrong with the flag, but why not find something more interesting? In February during black history month, I bought some stamps featuring Edmonia Lewis. Check out her story.

She was the first sculptor of African American and Native American (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Her father was Black, and her mother was Chippewa (Ojibwa) Indian.

She has a fascinating life story and despite a number of setbacks she never stopped creating art. You’ll be inspired by her story and her tenacity.

More on this topic: The Rise of the Black Portrait Artist

Forget Perfectionism in Your Art

Let’s talk about the deliberate mistake. In many handmade Persian rugs and carpets, you will discover the deliberate mistake. Followers of Islam believe only Allah makes things perfectly, and therefore to weave a perfect rug or carpet would be an offence to God.

If you are plagued with perfectionism, or find yourself being hyper critical of your work, I have a resource to help. Don’t allow your inner critic stop you from creating or keep you from promoting your artwork.

204: Storyworthy with Matthew Dicks and Miriam Schulman Aug 02, 2022

As artists, you’re likely great with painting a story on canvas, in watercolor, through music or whatever medium you play in, but storytelling is a wonderful skill we can all benefit from improving. Telling stories well is art, and it’s something that each and every one of us can do easily every day.

Matthew Dicks is an international best seller with awards for being a nationally recognized storyteller. He joined us in Episode 203 and discussed his latest book, Someday Is Today, which I highly recommend checking out!

In this two-part series, we’re continuing the conversation around his other book, Storyworthy: Engage, Teach, Persuade, and Change Your Life through the Power of Storytelling. So now we’re diving into what the art of storytelling looks like for the average person who doesn’t identify as a storyteller.

Noteworthy points with master storyteller, Matthew Dicks:

Why story worthy moments on the most boring days are precious commodities
How Homework for Life makes you look at your days in a meaningful way
What Crash and Burn style writing is and how you can get started (right now!)
4 strategies for dealing with negative people and why an enemy list is a superpower
Live a better life with more ‘Yes’ and get remarkable results

“Most of the time, we allow our memories to be tossed away like trash, when they are our most precious commodities.” -Matthew Dicks

Matthew Dicks is the co-founder and artistic director of Speak Up, a storytelling organization that produces shows in New England. In addition to being an internationally bestselling author of multiple fiction and non-fiction books, he is also a 56-time Moth StorySLAM champion and 9-time GrandSLAM champion. The most important thing for you to learn today is that, given all the accolades Matthew has, his best advice for being a better storyteller is to simply become a better listener.

“Be the last person to speak in every room you enter, and I think you'll find it's really helpful in terms of just being a better communicator and a better person.” -Matthew Dicks

203: Someday Is Today with Matthew Dicks and Miriam Schulman Jul 26, 2022

The question we all really want to know is how to do more with the time we have. Some people crush a 2-hour window, whereas others of us struggle along and get distracted by TV series and social media.

Matthew Dicks is an international best seller with awards for being a nationally recognized storyteller. His latest book, Someday Is Today, 22 Simple Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life is highly recommended and worth checking out!

In this two-part series, we’re talking about some fun concepts and ideas that will help propel your creativity in new ways.

Key ideas Matthew makes digestible and simple enough to implement:

Make your sleep sacred and honor the rest you need
Make the most of your work by repurposing your pieces
Be thoughtful about what you spend your time on
Consult your future self to make the best daily decisions

“I think we solve a lot of problems unconsciously when we allow those problems to move to the back.” -Matthew Dicks

Matthew's approach is extremely well thought out. Coming close to a near-death experience has given him the motivation and perspective he needs to emphasize making the best of every day, every decision, and what he chooses to make time for.

In the next part of this interview, Matthew will unpack eating a compliment sandwich, the enemies list, and why be a criminal and carry a burglar bag.

202: Creativity Rules the World with Maria Brito and Miriam Schulman Jul 19, 2022

When you pause and consider the many ways creativity is expressed, it feels overwhelming and beautiful. Beyond painting, drawing, digital art, and watercolor, there’s music, fashion, interior design, and even the world of business and creative problem-solving.

Today’s guest, Maria Brito, is in over 13 years deep into the art scene from an indirect and surprising path. From a Harvard graduate to a corporate attorney, Maria is an award-winning, New York-based contemporary art advisor, entrepreneur, author, and curator. She shares how her journey into art is rooted in writing blogs featuring artists, and how that has shaped her journey leading to the release of her first book, Creativity Rules the World, The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold.

Maria takes us deep into the world of art and creativity as it relates to business.

“Creative process is nothing more than your unique ability to come up with ideas of value that are relevant and that you know you can execute.” -Maria Brito

Key areas we explore for artist and creative appreciation:

Focus on the experience of creating and selling your art, not the transaction
Building your art business can be enjoyable, fulfilling, and financially rewarding
There are parallels between your art and the business you are building

“Artists are always attuned to the here and now and expressing that human aspect through their work” -Maria Brito

Maria has turned a career of very little to no freedom as a corporate attorney around into the world of art and appreciation, and now elevates artists, their stories, and their work in a way that allows her to live a much more fulfilling life.

Her book is about making creativity work for your business and recognizing art as the inexhaustible resource it is that is available to everyone in a thriving world.

201: Your Values Matter with Shubhashree Sangameswaran and Miriam Schulman Jul 12, 2022

Unlike many careers you can commit to, art and creativity is unique for many reasons. You may find other skillful careers people do as a side hustle in addition to their day job, but unless it’s creative work, how many accountants are doing taxes because it just feels good to their soul and their mental health?

Art releases dopamine, it is therapeutic, and often it’s a form of self-expression and self-care. The list of benefits for amateurs and professionals are equally powerful.

In this episode, Shubhashree Sangameswaran joins me and discusses all the ways art has added value to not only her life, but to the lives of others. It’s truly a gift that keeps giving when you find a way to align it perfectly with your values.

Shubhashree started her work career as an engineer and didn’t reignite her passion for art until several years later. She is an illustrator, former artist and activist for sustainability. Though she left her career in engineering, Shubhashree is mindful of her role within society and its impact on her children. She lives a life aligned with her values through her art as an online instructor and creator.

Key lessons with Shubhashree for everyone:

A daily art practice for yourself has huge benefits in your self-care
Being curious creates new paths and opportunities if you allow it
You can use your art to spread positivity and messages of sustainability
Pivoting careers for what makes you feel alive and connected is possible even for a mother with a full-time career in engineering

“Taking the time out to draw every single day for 100 days, in some way felt like I was just taking some part of the day back to myself” -Shubhashree Sangameswaran

Shubhashree has been creating journals and illustrations for the Brooklyn Art Project dedicated to sustainability. You can check out both of her books Slowing Down and Let’s Talk Trash to support the cause.

200: Radical Reinvention with Miriam Schulman Jul 05, 2022

Reinventing yourself can sound intimidating, it may sound like betrayal on some level, and it can even feel inauthentic to some. To others, reinvention is an opportunity for rebirth and realizing your full potential.

People often reinvent themselves to let go of what no longer serves them, get to new heights of success, and shed what they don’t like about themselves. Reinvention is something you can totally embrace as an artist and a creative as you grow in skill and move through different phases of your life.

“Commit to reinvent yourself, to know that real growth happens in a place of discomfort.” Les Brown

Inspiration Place Podcast is celebrating its 200th episode with a Free Coaching Podcast Party! To help celebrate this occasion, leave a review for Inspiration Place Podcast on your favorite podcasting app, take a screenshot and fill out a short form and submit a coaching question for me by July 15, 2022. You may be one of the 20 winners selected to win an Amazon Gift Card. Everyone who submits a review will be invited to the Free Coaching Podcast Party.

In this episode, I'm sharing my story of radical reinvention. Moving several times in my childhood created the desire, the need, and the opportunity to reinvent who I was and how I was showing up for others, and most importantly for myself.

Reinvention is a tool available to you at any time:

Declaring yourself an artist and believing it for yourself
Embracing your inner weirdo and not vilifying what makes you different
Navigating the different phases of life, pain, and discomfort

“This new identity explained my unique ability to look at ordinary things and see something that others didn't.” -Miriam Schulman

199: World Watercolor Month with Charlie O’Shields and Miriam Schulman Jun 28, 2022

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso

Whether this is a proven fact or not is irrelevant. What matters is that there is an innate connection between children and creativity in all forms. Whether it’s through paint, imagination, or creative play in a universe far, far away, there is an inner child in each of us that could help our creative juices and inspire in new ways.

“Treat your inner child well and make sure you give it plenty of things to keep its imagination growing” -Charlie O’Shields

Today’s guest, Charlie O’Shields is a Creative Director by day with side hobbies and projects that absolutely light up the world. He started a blog and a 2000-day art journey in 2015 that became the Doodlewash blog and so much more. He’s authored multiple books helping people connect to their inner child and “create like a kid again.” Charlie also founded Watercolor month which is a nonprofit 31-day challenge and community dedicated to watercolor painting.

In addition to being all around amazing, Charlie shares:

How to show up, practice, and share your work
Encouraging people to get creative
How Happy Hour turned into much more than art
The inspiration for World Watercolor Month in July

“It's just a matter of doing creative things on a regular basis. And it's not just doing them, it's a practice, everything in life is a practice. - Charlie O’Shields

Even if art is your business and something you take seriously, Charlie echoes a great reminder that adding fun into your work and a bit of joy goes a long way for the people that see it and feel it in your art. Remember to give your inner child the space it needs to play, stay creative, and keep imagining.

198: Radiant Wild Heart with Shereen Sun and Miriam Schulman Jun 21, 2022

One of the best parts of being creative is deciding to live with intention, on purpose, with passion and heart. Art cannot be contained and restrictive. It’s meant to be liberating for the artist and a sacred escape from a world that judges and sometimes lacks the vibrant colors of the artistic spirit.

Today’s guest, Shereen Sun, Founder of Radiant Wild Heart, embodies the rebellious spirit of a true artist. She is a multiple six-figure creativity mentor that identifies as a queer Muslim American woman who is also neurodivergent. Like Miriam, she too is in the process of writing her first book.

If you've considered or are still pondering writing a book, whether you are going the traditional path or self-publishing, this episode is such a great resource and opportunity to gather two book writing experiences at once. Shereen is publishing her first book, Radiant Wild Heart while still running her business.

In addition to the book writing journey, some other key points touched on include:

The importance of sharing your values and authenticity
Living your creative mission and nurturing your inner artist
Living your truth, coming out queer, and attracting the right people to your brand

“When you tell your story, your real story, and you come out of the closet and say who you really are, what your values are, and what you love to do, you're going to attract the right people where you don't have to hide anymore” -Shereen Sun

197: Painting with Joy: A Conversation with Artist Joy Ting Charde and Miriam Schulman Jun 14, 2022

When you’re just getting started and getting your feet wet in a new space, it’s natural to look around and study the industry standards and norms. Obsessing over what you should do, how you should look, how you should be showing up can be paralyzing. Even worse, when you arrive and no one there looks like you, the thought of running away is hard to ignore.

Think about this…

There is no one path into art. There is no standard or art norms that should keep you from playing with and pursuing what makes you come to life. Art is healing and beautiful and has a universal song that sounds different to every artist out here.

Artists come in many shades and complexities from countless paths to find the creative spark that brings them to life. Today’s guest, Joy Ting Charde, ignited her creative spark as a way to communicate with her teacher and other students when she was new in the U.S. and couldn’t speak English.

Even still, her journey to art came after becoming an elementary school teacher. Not having professional training, working a full-time job that she actually enjoys is the part of this artist that is perhaps most relatable and familiar.

Joyful Takeaways for Non-Traditional Artists:

A great journey can start with a small 7 day challenge
Taking fun courses that spark your interests and curiosity can be life changing
Like the Alchemist, journeys often take us full circle
Having a fulfilling artistic journey doesn’t mean you have to leave your 9 to 5

“Give yourself a little challenge, and who knows, you might fall in love with it and end up doing the same kind of creative work for a long time.” -Joy Ting Charde

Joy started art licensing and has an agent, but her path there was not linear. The roads don’t have to make sense, you just have to show up willing to explore and be open to changes. Give yourself a chance to fall in love with new creative work.

196: The Taboo Technique with Miriam Schulman Jun 07, 2022

Let’s talk about the dirty secret most professional artists don’t want you to know about. Before you go any further, it’s important to note that this episode isn’t about shaming or challenging anyone’s talents or skills as a portrait artist. It’s about giving you the inspiration you need to try a new medium of art with a skill that can be developed with time and practice.

Using photography, projectors, and tracing is a secret most portrait artists won’t talk about, but it’s been used by artists in some form since as early as the 1600s, if not earlier.

In this episode, I share how famous artists such as Johannes Vermeer, who painted The Girl with a Pearl Earring, and Norman Rockwell, an American painter known for his illustrations, also used photography and projection to create portraits.

I am convinced that watercolor is the medium for creating portraits, and if you’ve never done so before, my Watercolor Portrait Academy gets into more details. You can watch me paint, and you can learn how I use these techniques to create amazing portraits.

Knowing this taboo technique is a game-changer for so many people. A few things I think you’ll need to know about watercolor and this artist's secret is:

There is no shame in using these techniques to create your own portraits
You can totally elevate your skill level and confidence
Using these techniques is a creative art of its own

“By calling out these other artists is not to shame anybody [...], but to let you know there's no shame in doing this. There's no shame in using photography and your art.” -Miriam Schulman

195: Painting Happiness: Art as a Form of Self-Development with Terry Runyan and Miriam Schulman May 31, 2022

Doing the things you don’t feel qualified to do while stepping out of the ordinary, mundane existence to allow yourself the space to show up is more than terrifying. Imposter syndrome is real! If you consider the most creative and amazing people you know, it’s safe to say that their greatness came on the other side of a lot of internal dialogue.

Terry Runyan is a visual artist and creative encourager that totally understands the inner struggles that take place for artists and creatives. She’s a published author, teacher, YouTuber, and fun artist with licensed work you can see here.

“It's not that the perfectionism, or the imposter syndrome, or any of that inner critic stuff doesn't come up. I just see it for what it is, and I know who I am.” -Terry Runyan

Terry’s creative path to uncover an artist’s wisdom:

Drawing and painting from a very young age
Licensing her artwork
Overcoming perfectionism
Struggling with self-worth
Mindset and mediation practices
Thoughts are not necessarily true

“Creativity is just there, whether we feel it or not. If we're not feeling it, it's only because our thinking is going around and telling us we're blocked or that we don't have that talent, but we can ignore that thinking” - Terry Runyan

Terry’s openness and vulnerability about her journey is a reminder of what lies on the other side of the mental struggles we go through. You have to put in the work and wrestle with thoughts, even when the thoughts feel like a fact, and you’re certain they must be true.

Growth is a journey, and the path for a creative can get really tough without a strong mindset.

Don’t forget to check out Terry’s book, Painting Happiness, where she gets into ways to deal with your inner critic, mindfulness, and perfectionism.

Rakefet’s journey is about connection and exploration with yourself. It’s not necessarily about being a professional artist. It’s about transformation and healing through the essence of what connects to your soul.

“Connect to those parts that help you thrive and dream and achieve your goals.” -Rakefet Hadar

191: Mothering Creativity with Candice L. Davis, Whitney McNeill, Allison Lane, Jen Lehner, Patty Lennon, Shaun Roney, and Miriam Schulman May 03, 2022

In honor of Mother’s Day and in the spirit of embracing motherhood (however you experience it), this year I'm bringing together 6 incredible women to share how motherhood has influenced their creativity, tips they have for encouraging creativity in their own kids, and ways to balance your creative career with motherhood.

Jen Lehner, founder of Front Row CEO and Front Row VIP Masterclass shares her lessons on being more present with her kids. Working from home, though physically present, can still create distance and disconnect. Her advice is to build a supportive team that creates the space you need to enjoy a work life balance. Join Jen’s waitlist for Front Row CEO

Allison Lane is an editor and marketing strategist that will get your book published and marketed with her company, Allison Lane Literary. Her thoughts around influencing creativity in your children are about encouraging your kids. She has found success balancing motherhood with 1-2 hour time chunks.

Candace L Davis is helping entrepreneurs navigate the publishing process and so much more in her business and with her podcast, Nothing But The Words. Candace’s lesson from motherhood that encourages creative thoughts is boredom. Being bored as a child and allowing her children to be bored became the best way to encourage creativity.

“Making space for my children's creativity has simply meant making space for my kids’ souls” - Patty Lennon

Patty Lennon, from the Space for Magic Podcast, beautifully shares that, “creativity at its best is something we feel as much as something we do.” Having children with completely different creative expressions, Patty reminds us of why honoring children’s unique creativity and teaching them to admire the creative process is necessary for future artists.

Whitney McNeill, the founder of the Messenger of Spirit, shares how to connect with your spirit guides and connect with your intuition. She reminds us to be mindful of our energy, and that perfectionism isn’t realistic just because that’s what society dictates to women and mothers. Whitney is a beautiful reminder to give yourself grace.

Shaun Roney, ADHD coach and founder of Revealed Path Life Coaching expresses why modeled behaviors and skills are the best for your children. Shaun’s leading advice is to get your family involved in your creative businesses and honor the components needed to allow more creativity.

“The thing about creativity is it has to have freedom to be whatever it's going to be. Someone can't force you into being creative. They can't teach you how to be creative. They have to allow creativity to happen.” -Shaun Roney

190: Seasons of Creativity with Chanti Zak and Miriam Schulman Apr 26, 2022

As frustrating as it may be, you cannot be in a creative state of flow 365 days a year. When you identify as a creative, that can feel like a heartbreak and a bit of an identity crisis, and yet it’s a perfectly normal part of life.

You won’t always feel like you’re in perfect balance, and there are days that we all feel hopeless and think, I’ve lost my creativity for good (being dramatic time to time is totally fine). Understanding that your personal life will go through seasons, your creativity will go through seasons, and your business will also go through seasons will allow you to manage yourself in these seasons much better.

Chanti Zak is a growth coach and consultant, and the founder of the Empathy Marketing Ecosystem & Agency. She joins me to simplify the most common seasons we experience, explains what you can expect in these seasons, and shares how you can better manage yourself and your success as a creative through all of your seasons.

Chanti’s framework of seasons in business for creative endeavors:

Fallow season of hopelessness and the gifts it bears
Fertile season of new beginnings and perspectives that bring energy and inspiration

189: When Your Parents Don't Believe in Your Dreams with Carla Sonheim Apr 19, 2022

As artists and creatives, it’s easy to relate to how crushing criticism about your art can feel. Maybe you know people who never bothered to pick up a paint brush, a pen, or instrument because a poorly delivered comment about their craft killed their excitement and joy.

Have you struggled with self-defeating thoughts like…

Is my art good enough?

Can I call myself an artist?

Am I really creative or wasting my time??

If you’re an artist you probably have, and that’s okay! You are here and today’s guest, Carla Sonheim is an artist, online art teacher, and the author of Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists: 52 Creative Exercises to Make Drawing Fun! She was once a young enthusiastic artist that took one too many blows to her creative ego that pushed her away from art in her teen years. Luckily, she rekindled her passion and love for art in her late 20s, inspired by her own son’s art.

Getting Fearless and Bold in Your Creative Pursuits:

Overcoming painful criticism
Finding confidence in your art and skills
Being inspired by the world and life around you
Teaching art online and in person
Creating online art classes and a business that feeds the soul

“Every drawing, no matter if you are a beginner or experienced, has magic to it.” -Carla Sonheim

188: How to Stand Out and Get Your Art Noticed with Jennifer Kem and Miriam Schulman Apr 12, 2022

Building your art business gets stressful real fast when it takes you beyond the comfort of creating art. Still, marketing, sales, and engagement are a necessity for any person building a business.

Why should you know your brand archetype as an artist? You have your own style and preferred medium of art, so is branding and archetypes really important? After all, you’re possibly running ads, you're staying on top of social media posts, and you have your own art collections for sale and available for purchase. Maybe you’ve even set up a few funnels to grow your business.

Jennifer Kem is the creator of Master Brand. While she agrees that marketing is part of branding, she also distinguishes why branding is more about your messaging.

“The brand is your art, and the rest is science. Marketing is a science, sales is a science, but your brand is the soul of how you're presenting yourself in the world.”

-Jennifer Kem

Branding for Artists and Creatives 101:

What branding is and isn’t
How artists should think about branding
What is an archetype
What are brand archetypes
Dominant, intrinsic, intuitive, and creator archetypes you should know

187: Follow Your Passion with Artist Christa Forrest and Miriam Schulman Apr 05, 2022

In June 2021, something incredible happened that may have included you. Many people have reached a breaking point and are no longer satisfied working in a job that is unfulfilling. If you’ve been in this situation, you may agree. It can feel like your energy and soul are literally being drained out of your body.

Christa Forrest is living her dream as a full-time artist. She walked away from the prestige, stress, and anxiety of a financial career serving in private wealth management at Merrill Lynch.

Walking away from a lifeless existence only working to pay bills may be simpler than you imagine. Regardless of your art medium and style, pursuing your passion is worth the challenge when the reward is the freedom to create and live on your own terms.

“Just enjoy life and be amazing about what you do.”

- Christa Forrest

Christa’s Findings to Follow Your Passion:

Why walking away from a stressful career is not as scary as you think
What to consider when you leave a steady paycheck to be happy
How making yourself more visible for the love of your passion is a must
How Christa is changing lives with her Creative Souls Art retreat
Ways to respectfully use photo references for your art medium

186: Pricing Your Art: Prestige Versus Charm Pricing with Miriam Schulman Mar 29, 2022

How much would you say your art is worth? Turning your art into a fulfilling business that does more than barely get you from one month to the next, is a business skill worth learning.

Understanding the psychology behind pricing and consumer behavior is one part of how artists go from amateur to professional.

“Which part of the brain do you want your customers to be using when buying art?” -Miriam Schulman

Pricing strategies for your business:

Charm or prestige pricing
Rounded pricing
What dollar signs and decimals say about your art
How to use pricing to communicate experience over transactions

This topic is one of the lessons from my forthcoming book Artpreneur. In this episode, you'll discover how to price your art to grow a lucrative business.

184: Overcome Your Fear of Visibility and Public Speaking with Lex Vernon and Miriam Schulman Mar 15, 2022

It’s been estimated that over 75% of the population experiences anxiety around public speaking. A fear of looking foolish, forgetting your words, or lack of experience are just a few of the reasons why the fear of speaking, or glossophobia, is a crowd favorite.

Alexia Vernon, Founder and President of Step into Your Moxie, dubbed the Moxie Maven by President Obama’s White House, shares expert tactics to help you crush it the next time you are asked to speak, whether it’s live or in a virtual setting.

“The greatest gift we can give ourselves is to slow down”

-Alexia Vernon

Key Insights and Tactics Every Artist Needs for Public Speaking:

How Alexia combines theater, speaking, and coaching
The most important question you’ll ever ask yourself
Courageous tips to slow down and deliver your message with intention
The key to delivering clear calls to action that move people
How you can Step into Your Moxie

Alexia’s Tip for Moving People Towards Awareness:

Get your audience to identify with the outcome you help them visualize
Communicate your offer so they know it’s needed to achieve their outcome

Alexia describes what it means to Step into Your Moxie as, “the process of developing the mindset and the skill set to be able to walk into any room, into any conversation, onto any live or virtual stage and, unapologetically, speak up for yourself for the ideas and issues that matter most to you, and to call people to take action.”

You can Step into Your Moxie at Alexia’s Live Event coming in April 2022, or you can check out her book, Step Into Your Moxie on Amazon.

183: What's Wrong with Your Instagram with Miriam Schulman Mar 08, 2022

This is part of the continuing “what’s wrong with” series. I want to make sure that when you engage using Instagram, that it’s effective for you. I’m sharing 5 things I see people doing that just don’t work. Hear what they are, along with the steps for your Instagram makeover. What works on social platforms changes and this is a great time to check your account and make sure you are up to date with the most current and effective practices.

5 Things that are wrong with your Instagram account:

No link in bio. Your bio is the most important part of your Instagram account since it’s the only place where you can have a live link. Use it well! Hear the 3 best ways to make this work for you.
Your account is private. When someone goes to check out your Instagram page and it’s private, you are creating a barrier that doesn’t have to be there.
Gaming the system. There are a few things that people do on Instagram to try and “game” the system. Buying followers, following/unfollowing, or using an automated system. Some of this violates terms and conditions and you may even risk account shutdown.

User pods. This is one of those things that sounds like a good idea, but won’t give you the results you want. It’s not a good use of your time, and it won’t bring the engagement that will help you grow your reach.
Your avatar is not a picture of you. People want to engage with a real person, not a brand. Show up as a living, breathing human.

Improve your Instagram account and watch engagement and followers increase. Make your posts and your investment of time there worthwhile.

182: What to Post on Social Media with Italina Kirknis and Miriam Schulman Mar 01, 2022

When you’re focused on creating and selling art, understanding how to optimize your social media channels can become a major roadblock. Social media can be super effective in helping you increase your online sales, but you have to know there is more to it than just posting images of your amazing art.

Miriam brings in the Online Presence Expert, Italina Kirknis. Although she offers Done for You services, she is sharing ways for you to create more engagement and connection, and it has nothing to do with your art, but it will help you increase your art sales considerably.

“Share more than your art, so people will buy your art.”

-Italina Kirknis

3 Game-Changing Ideas to Get You Results:

Things to share other than your art
How to set boundaries with your personal life
Ways to use free social media platforms to grow your business and your network

Italina’s Tip for Finding Easy Content to Post

Check your calendar the night before and see what activities you can take a photo of or make into a quick story. People relate to the things that they do too.

Driving your engagement up, connecting with people, and sharing a glimpse into your life helps your personal brand. It builds rapport and makes you more relatable, which makes people more likely to interact with you and ultimately more likely to purchase.

178: What's Wrong with Your Website with Miriam Schulman Feb 01, 2022

Today’s show is about your website. Specially how to make changes so that it works better for you, and helps you sell more art. I recently reviewed websites for my incubator clients. Many of the things they need to update showed up frequently so I made a list to help you have the best website possible. Look at your site. Where can you improve things?

Pop-ups. Hear how to improve your pop-up for more opt-ins with specific examples for the best way to get your pop-up to convert.
Apologizing. Take the approach that people want to hear from you, and they want to know about your work.
The Menu Bar. Be thoughtful about your menu options. I outline two easy fixes are updating the about and sale menu tabs.
Gallery tab. The art that is for sale should not be under a gallery tab.
No way to purchase! Don’t create obstacles to sales. I share 2 website providers that make this easy.
Clarity in your offer. A confused mind never buys. Get my best insight about the best way to curate what you sell.
Clearly state shipping information. I’ve outlined 3 options that work, pick one so your buyer knows exactly how their purchase will be shipped.
Outdated information. Old events, past courses, pricing specials that have expired are making your site look neglected.
Pronouns. Maintain consistency in your copy. I recommend your site be written in first person. Even if you use third person, it’s key that it’s done site wide.
About page photos. Another place for consistency. Listen for the 3 things that make a huge impact here and the one photos that always needs to be on your about page.

Review your site with a new perspective. Where can you make updates? Make sure your site is engaging, informative and most of all, make it easy to sell your art!

177: Unfollow Your Passion with Terri Trespicio Jan 25, 2022

This episode is so much fun! Author and friend Terri Trespicio joins me to talk about passion, why it’s not what we’ve been taught and why you should unhook yourself from the “follow your passion” expectations.

Hear Terri explain why talent is over-rated. People who don’t consider themselves talented can be more successful because they invest in learning, executing, and developing their skills.

Have you even experienced the lure of the secret genius?

It’s powerful! It’s sets us up expect things to come easily. Often when someone is passionate about something and they aren’t an expert right away, Terri explains that people give up sooner because of the genius myth.

Why is it dangerous to get hung up on passion?

There is no supposed to. If pursuing your passion is no longer working for you, Terri explains that it’s time to give yourself permission to move on.

“There isn’t any one thing you are meant to do or follow or be.”

Artists I talk to run into this. They often ask “what should I paint?” What’s more important is making a choice. Doing the work and making the effort is what makes you an artist. Evolving over time is part of the journey.

Trust the work to lead you. What if we allowed passion to find us?

Passion is portable. Where are you missing an opportunity to find passion right now? Can we allow the luxury of passion showing up?

176: Dreams Not Regrets with Susan Cohn and Miriam Schulman Jan 18, 2022

Today I’m talking to one of my clients who started her art career when her husband gifted her with art classes. She was hooked and decided to continue. She went to weekly classes and painted daily because she felt like she had to catch up with others. That was 20 years ago and she’s still creating.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Find out when Susan first realized she was an artist.

I asked Susan to share how it felt to sell her first piece. She remembers the painting and the people who purchased it. We both agree that when a painting is framed and hung in its new home, it completes the creation cycle. It begins a new life.

Hear how Susan got her work into the LA Art show. It’s an amazing story. She realized her dream of having people experience the art and come back to see it again. She used a contest at the show to inspire new artists and as a result has made connections with other creators.

It’s never too late to start. Susan’s story will inspire you and help you see the power of your own dreams.

ENCORE: The Romance of Selling Art Dec 08, 2020

Selling your art in a way that attracts true fans is very much like dating. When you meet someone for the first time, you typically don't ask them to marry you. You get to know them a little and maybe even ask for their phone number. It's the same with your art collectors.

In this podcast, you will discover...

What I mean about the "romance of selling art!"
How to romance (build that true relationship with) your customers and art collectors.

118: You Can Be Progressive and Spiritual with Whitney McNeill Dec 01, 2020

This episode explores the intersection between spirituality and politics, and why they’re mutually exclusive.

Some of the conversations I’ve had recently have been challenging people to think differently, and I fully believe this is an essential role of an artist, which is why I’ve integrated my views on racism, feminism, spirituality, politics, and life in general into The inspiration Place Podcast.

When I speak out, I’m empowering others to use their voice and express their opinions and beliefs. I invite you to do the same and integrate all your beliefs and the ways you express yourself into your art.

Put your art into your life and your life into your art.

In this podcast, you will discover...

Why you should let go of “us and them” thinking when it comes to political and spiritual beliefs.
Why you can’t assume that just because someone is using “spiritual” vocabulary, that they’ve adopted the beliefs of fringe groups that have co-opted that language.
Why as artists, we should never quiet our voices, whether that expression takes the form of artwork or words.

Today, we’re talking all about what to look for if you want to join an artist mastermind group for 2021.

Every artist should be in a mastermind. The term mastermind was coined by Napoleon Hill in 1935 who wrote the book, "Think and Grow Rich," and concluded that the most successful people were a part of a mastermind.

Today, we’re talking all about you, Michaelangelo, and the Metropolitan Museum of art!

036: How Important is Teaching Originality? With Artist Flora Bowley Apr 23, 2019

One very large conundrum is encouraging originality when teaching art. You want your students to come up with their own ideas and create their own style, but in the beginning, they don't have the skills to do so, nor have they likely figured out their own style.

As an online art teacher, I struggle with this paradox a lot. I give my students the skills they need, but I don't want them to copy me. This is a crutch for them that can be a problem in the long run. Although, I understand that in the beginning, copying a little to get a feel for their art so they can discover and learn their own style is normal. But it's a difficult balancing act.

Today, I've invited artist Flora Bowley on to The Inspiration Place Podcast to discuss this! We talk about how we feel when our students copy us and how to balance teaching the necessary skills to our students while still encouraging originality. We also share how Flora is selling and promoting her original art so you can get some good tips for how to do so with your original art.

In this podcast, you will discover...

How do you feel about your art students copying you?
How to balance teaching skills and encouraging originality.
How Flora is currently selling and promoting her original art, and some tips and strategies for you.
Mentoring for guiding your career.

I’ve tried other scheduling tools, but this one is the best one I’ve tried.

025: Art Mends Hearts with Susan Greif Feb 05, 2019

How can art help heal people from trauma? Susan Greif interprets drawings to help her clients form a healthier relationship with themselves and in turn a healthier relationship with others. I recently heard Susan speak at a speaker salon and was inspired by her message and her work with the children of holocaust survivors. She believes that art makes thoughts and emotions more perceptible so we can actually see our subconscious. Then we can understand what keeps us stuck and make shifts in our lives.

I notice in my students that their personalities are in their art. If they paint very tightly it’s usually because they’re uptight about something. We talk about what art can tells us about a person, her process of working with a client and why art can reveal things that talking won’t.

In this podcast, you will discover...

(02:58) Susan’s work with the children of holocaust survivors and intergenerational PTSD
(04:12) What PTSD is and how in affects people
(06:47) How the PTSD can be passed onto the children through epigenetics
(08:55) What a session with Susan looks like
(10:00) The art medium the clients have access to for their first drawings
(11:04) That the quality of the drawing does not matter
(11:30) An example of what anxiety can look like in a drawing
(12:26) What the colour choice in a drawing can mean
(13:28) How the session continues after the client has completed a drawing
(14:01) How Susan does a similar process with individuals and groups
(15:36) Trying to understand a picture drawn by a 57 year old woman
(17:05) How Susan helps her client stay in the moment with their drawings
(17:32) Continuing the story of the woman’s drawing
(20:09) Looking at relationships differently
(21:45) What the therapy looks like after the first drawing and how she uses journaling

Today, I've invited Cailen Ascher, an expert in how to design your ideal week whether that means making more time for art or your family, to the podcast.
