E169 | Why Not Me? Feel Your Future, Don't Just...

Your Art Matters ·

2024/10/28

Have you ever imagined a life where paying your bills is easy? Where you walk into your solo show with confidence, sell 80% of your work, and have people knocking on your door to feature you? Or maybe you picture a life where you simply feel comfortable in your own skin, creating art that resonates with others… But then, you shoot down the dream because you realize you're “not qualified enough,” “not consistent enough,” or “not confident enough.” Maybe you even find yourself thinking, that life is

E168 | Why Not Now? Taking Action On Big Dreams

Your Art Matters ·

2024/10/22

I was doing an exercise with my 7 Keys students this week, where we challenged ourselves to ask, “What will life look like when I hit my big money goal, or 10x my dream?” I made a list of what I would be, do, and have, and it was amazing to see all the ways I would live my life. This got me thinking—why am I not doing this now? Yes, a lot of it comes down to money. But, sometimes we have a perception that we need money, time, or resources to make something happen, and a dream turns into a 10-year

E167 | Tolerance Trap - How To ReThink Risk

Your Art Matters ·

2024/10/15

I was driving down the motorway/highway at 70 miles per hour on my way to the Lake District in the UK, along with hundreds of other drivers all driving at the same pace - wondering how on earth we all got to this point. If we stop to think about it, it's a speed that is pretty dangerous. You’re in a metal box, moving faster than our bodies were ever designed to go. Yet, most of us do this daily without a second thought. We become so used to it that our perception of danger fades away. This is a

E166 | Why Being Inconsistent Can Be A Good Thing

Your Art Matters ·

2024/10/08

Have you ever felt guilty as you are not making art on a regular basis? or, you didn’t post on social media for a while? Or, that you were doing so well with reading a book every week, and now you have stopped?? I think this pressure to be consistent all the time can put enormous pressure on us. Actually, I have huge periods where I am inconsistent, and it’s great! I talk about why in today’s episode.

Summer found us a few years ago at a time when she wasn’t sure why she just couldn’t seem to sell her art. She loved creating, that wasn’t an issue - but she was forever finding it difficult to make money doing what she loved. We are celebrating hard as just a few months Summer made the leap to full-time selling artist and makes more money now than when she was employed full time!!! She has built an incredible life, making money from what she loves. Summer took part in our 7 Keys program and that’s

How Did my Book get To Number 1 In Less Than 12 Hours?

Your Art Matters ·

2024/08/19

My book Your Art Matters hit the number one best-seller list within 12 hours of releasing it! Firstly, thank you if you were one of the people who bought it - you helped make this happen!! I have been asked, how did you do it? If you are launching a book, selling art, or having an artwork in a public space that took a lot of work and you want people to know about it, then you need people. Fact. People are everything. I built a strong village of people around me during the whole book writing and

E162 | How Do I Sell My Art?

Your Art Matters ·

2024/08/16

This was a question that came in last week, and I receive this same question on a weekly basis. When you ask this question, it’s so broad - it’s like asking, how do I travel? There are so many answers depending on where you are and where you want to go. So, to answer this question, you must dig deeper under the surface. ‘You can’t be seen until you learn how to see’ - Seth Godin This is a quote from my new book, Your Art Matters, which explains it beautifully - we have to look inwards.

E160 | To Niche or Not To Niche?

Your Art Matters ·

2024/07/22

Should you stick to drawing one thing? Or creating art only using pencils? This is a topic that can make people really angry! I understand why because some people think that niching down artwork means focusing on one thing for the rest of your life and nothing else. But it doesn’t have to mean that. I saw someone share a post the other week saying, ‘DON’T NICHE YOUR ARTWORK’. This is such a broad statement that it really doesn’t mean anything. If you want to niche your art and become known for

Live Q&A - Why It's Important To Understand Why Your...

Your Art Matters ·

2024/07/18

Today’s podcast is a little different. I hosted it live and made it an open Q&A. I had no idea what we would talk about, which is always a nice surprise. The conversation ended up going in the direction of: What happens when you don’t quite believe you are good enough to write, make art, or whatever you create - and you feel you have extensive areas of improvement? What happens when you pour your heart and soul into your work and the fear of it being criticised - or just the fear of sharing it

E158 | Making the Impossible Possible

Your Art Matters ·

2024/07/04

Have you ever felt like one of your goals is just impossible? A money goal you just can’t seem to achieve, or a level of standard in your work you just can’t get close to? Last week, I had an experience with a mattress that really got me thinking about how to make impossible goals possible. When you feel you repeatedly hit a wall, and then BAM - the answers present themselves. I share this in today’s episode, plus two ways to immediately start moving from impossible to possible. Enjoy!

E156 | 10 X Your Goal And See If This Happens

Your Art Matters ·

2024/06/18

In the book 10X Is Easier Than 2X by Dan Sullivan and another co-author, the idea of aiming for goals that are ten times larger than your current ones is explored. This concept challenges you to think and act on a much larger scale, whether it’s creating more artwork, earning more money, or collaborating with more people. Applying this to my own goals, such as selling 5,000 copies of my book, I found the idea both exhilarating and intimidating. The fear of aiming higher reveals internal barriers

2024/05/20

I‘ve had the same big financial goal for the last 3 years, and for a long time, it has felt like I’m getting further away from it than closer to it. Have you ever experienced this? You set a financial, art-related or personal goal, and you just can’t seem to hit it. It might be that you want to make your first sale, be more visible, or make more money. I reflected on this extensively in January and significantly changed how I approach my financial goal. I am starting to see a shift and am getting

2024/04/15

Being paid to: Have a community of people around you. Make art all day. Use your studio space. Learn from you. Have a break. These are some of the ways you can create a membership platform where people pay you on a monthly, quarterly, 6 monthly, or annual basis. I know this sounds incredibly daunting and scary to many, as it did for me when I first started! I have had many questions about knowing if a membership is the right decision for you and your art - so I am giving the download it today’s

This was a live podcast where I brought in my mentor, Stu McLaren. We talked about my past and how Stu has impacted my life in the most profound way ever. We talk about how you can use your creativity to impact others and make money at the same time. Imagine being paid to make art? With money coming in month after month. I get paid to make art, and I don’t have to sell it - how crazy is that ? This episode is super special to me as Stu has shown me ways of living I never knew possible and I have a

E150 | The Free Training That Changed My Life And Income

2024/04/01

In today’s podcast, I set out to talk in-depth about how a free training I took back in 2016 changed my life in the most profound way. Although I do talk about it - I don’t go into detail as I find it emotional to talk about. To think that back in 2016, when I signed up for a free workshop with Stu McLaren, and how my life is unrecognisable now moves me to tears. I spent years in emotional turmoil, lost and struggling financially. Stu taught me not only how to create a membership platform, but how

My son was getting quite angry and upset as he wanted to buy an Xbox but didn’t have the money. We can all relate, I am sure - there are many things I want but don’t have the money :) So, our motto is every problem has a solution - and so we created a project plan and worked out how he could earn the money. He decided to sell his art and we broke down the steps of how he could do it. I share behind the scenes today of what we created as the lessons here relate to us all as it comes down to setting
