331. How to Navigate Your First Year in [Art] Business - Student Spotlight with Brian Fritz

Artist Academy

This week’s episode is a coaching call with Artist Academy member Brian Fritz. Brian is an artist at the beginning of his art journey, and we all know how mentally taxing that time can be. The beginning months or years of starting any business are extra exciting, hopeful, and frustrating. That time specifically is THE time to lean on a mentor, not when you’ve already somewhat established yourself and have something to brag to a mentor about. We don’t care how good or not good at painting you are; we care about helping you through the toughest times.

Brian is interested in gaining more customers and supporting his lifestyle with art income through canvases, prints, and murals. We chat about how to talk to customers, pitch ideas, and promote his art.

If you’d like to sign up for a one-on-one with me, you can do so within ArtistAcademy.co. I offer these to members for a small fee at any time. Sometimes it helps to have someone experienced look at your business from the outside and tell you the exact next steps to take.

A mentor can see the future of your business more clearly than you can because they’ve already been where you are and have navigated the hurdles to get to the other side. If you’re someone who could use some direction, I highly encourage you to seek out a mentor, whether it’s me or someone who does the thing you want to do. It can make all the difference and get you to where you want to be faster.

Let me know what you think of this week’s sneak peek into a coaching call with Brian Fritz.
