Episode Description from the Publisher

Every artist wants to know "how much time?" How much time on the business side, how much time making the work, and how long before any of it pays off. In this episode of The Art Biz host Alyson Stanfield gives straight answers to the two questions that matter — including a number you might not want to hear — and offer a better question to ask yourself instead. She covers: Why "how much time?" is the wrong question, and what to ask yourself instead The difference between your daily time and the longer stretch it takes to establish yourself Why willingness and commitment matter more than the number of hours you have How much of your working time goes to business and marketing when you're serious about income Why more success means more business, not less The timeframe to expect for the hard work to pay off and why steady work matters most   Read more and get links and resources on the extensive companion post.
