Specifically, what keeps you from putting your work out in the world for sale?

Is it:

• that it's hard for you to part with your originals?
• you're afraid of the response how it will be received?
• you're concerned it might not sell?

And what does it mean if your work doesn't sell?

Welcome to another session of Creative Business Coaching over coffee where Artist Una Marz courageously, and vulnerably answers the questions above when she asked for coaching help to understand her fears around releasing her original works.

Una and I talk through her fears after I share several announcements from

• Sell A Piece of Art Challenge starting this Monday! to
• Opening registration to my first in-person painting workshop in Los Angeles this November
• To the story of how the opportunity to design my first box of cards for Papyrus came to be.

Continuing the topic of generating multiple revenue streams in your business, in this episode I'm sharing part 1 of 2 episodes with a list of 15 proven ways to profit from your Art.

Everything I'm listing in this episode and the one coming next week are all proven ways I've generated revenue in Creative Thursday over the past 16 years.

It's a well-known fact that for a business owner to have peace of mind, you want to have multiple revenue streams, some more passive than active, and what I'm emphasizing today is to have recurring revenue built into (at least 1, if not more) of those streams too.

My friend and business coach Stu is hosting his 1X annual FREE Workshop all about how to turn what you know, love, and do into recurring revenue in your business, and part 3 is today! You're not too late to join us, and he's also hosting a Masterclass this Sunday to catch everyone up at 8 pm ET

What's your go-to when you're just not feeling inspired?

How do you get back into that Creative flow?

In today's episode, I share a story about a recent experience that I almost talked myself out of multiple times, which ended up being a game changer for me on so many levels, from learning new skills to, to future business opportunities to energizing my Creativity flow even more!

Because, as you may know, I've been painting up a storm this month and have never been so excited to making Art again.

And TODAY in celebration of a return to prioritizing creativity, for the first time all year, I'm releasing a group of original paintings. My "Coming Back To Art" Collection is launching @ 11 am PST via email first. Join the list and view the new collection as soon as they're released at creativethursday.com or click here.

My planning practice, or rather my planning obsession, has reached a new level and I've got a brand new tip to share with you in this episode.

Inspired by another new love for project management - something that before my business started to grow to include a team that I had no idea "was a thing" - this planning tip is good for both using pen (preferably markers!) + paper and digital.

I’m also celebrating the release of the brand new 2nd edition limited edition 2023 creative planner, which is date free so you can start it or use it at any time of the year that you like.

Meet Alex Theis speaker, author, and podcaster who loves to help people Win! Alex shares his thoughts on what it means to be Limitless, starting a podcast, and how the willingness to do the work to change your mindset + the practice of daily gratitude changes everything.
