The Artist Identity Shift
Before the income comes, the identity must shift. In this pillar, we dive deep into the creative mindset you need to move from “hobbyist” to confident creative CEO. You’ll learn how to embody your role as a professional artist, build unshakable confidence, and reframe your relationship with money, marketing, and self-worth.

Creativity needs structure to thrive. This final pillar shows you how to treat your art like a business - from pricing your work for profit, to building multiple income streams, to understanding the essentials of taxes, bookkeeping, and legal structure.
