Artist and Shaman Laura Hollick runs a thriving business over at Soul Art Studio, but it took her years to get there, including 5 years (and 10,000 kilometers) as a letter carrier for the Canada Post. I think you’ll enjoy her amazing, inspiring story.
Some of my favorite quotes from this interview:
Validating the need to sometimes spend time creating without bringing in money from it: “There are stages in the journey, and there is a time when money is not part of the journey.”
How you know you’re ready to generate income from your art: “In order for money to start coming, the artist, the creative spirit, has to be very solid in themself. They have to have a very clear energy.”
For Laura, success = “someone who is able to be themself and thrive.”
How did Laura create her success? Like so many of the artists I’ve interviewed, she dove into learning about business.
This comes up again and again: if you want to learn to master your craft, you must dive into it. If you want to learn to master the art of making money, you must dive into that.
