About this episode
Want to know how to be your own boss as a musician, writer, visual artist, or performer? Great! But, if you really want to earn a full-time living in the arts, don't get stuck in this common trap.
On this episode, pulled from a new video I just posted, I explain what this obstacle is and how to overcome it.
As you know, I've been a solo entrepreneur in the arts for many years, so I have a lot of hard-won advice on this topic to share.
