When I first started in my art business I was often stuck and confused, not knowing where to go for information. So I've put together some useful resources, so that you don't have that same struggle.
Some books can make such a lasting impression on you that they quite literally change the direction of your life. Others motivate you to be the best version of you. Here are just a few of my favourites:
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E Gerber
The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp
The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz
You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero
I'm a firm believer that running a business should not take over your life. Especially not when you are a creative. Business & creativity, done well, actually FEED each other.
Here is a list of some of my favourite tools:
Canva for designing just about anything
Shopify or Squarespace for websites
Mailchimp or Flodesk for email lists
Planoly for social media scheduling
Afterlight for cropping and editing images
and of course Jackson's for my art supplies
Using this roadmap you can quickly identify where you are on your journey as an artist, then discover what your most valuable 'next steps' are.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done to build a profitable and sustainable creative business.
Sometimes it feels like everyone else is SO far ahead of you
But often they're not. This is your journey, so enjoy it and take things at your own pace.
