How to Create Profitability for Your Art

Published: Sept. 18, 2015, 6 p.m.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a coaching seminar hosted by Dan Miller of 48 Days.  Now, for those of you who don't know Dan, he is a very accomplished author, speaker, and coach for coaches.  One of the important lessons from this event was about having confidence to ask for the sale.  

If you’re giving away your time and art out of charity and good-will, there’s no problem with that.  However, more people give away their expertise not out of charity, but out of their own insecurities.

One of the biggest differences between an artist painting at home and giving away their work, vs. the artist selling their works for $10,000 is that one is asking for the sale, the other is not.

This week, we discuss more about my experience at Dan Miller’s Coaching with Excellence event and I’ll tackle some topics that burden many people with getting over their willingness to sell.
