The Business of Art

It seems that business and art do not mix. An art enthusiast explained to me that an artist works during the day at a “regular” job, comes home to create at night, stores work in a closet then becomes famous when they finally die after an agonizing monotonous life. This is a common conception and I partially agree...an artist will always create no matter what obstacles are in the way. So, I encourage artists to recognize their creative talent as being a viable business because they need to know what to do with their work once created.

***Does passion make any difference?

Some "trivial" things people say stick to your mind like metal to a magnet. My sister just had her second baby and I had the pleasure (or misfortune, whichever way you wanna look at it) to be there during the whole process. Of course, the baby is adorable and I even shed a few tears when I first saw her. They were mainly tears of wonder (not just sheer relief from having my hands squeezed like a dry lemon every 2 minutes all night).

As any executive mentor will tell you, it takes a combination of self confidence, positive personal impact, outstanding performance, communication skills and interpersonal competence to succeed in your career and life.
