People Buy Your Joy
It's All About Having Fun With the Process

You are a creative person. That's wonderful! That's a gift. But to have a fabulous and lucrative creative career, you want to drill down to the essence of your creative passion. You want to remember why you're doing what you're doing because you can get pulled away and lose sight of the reason you're so smitten with making art. Heck, you got into this crazy business because you just love making things.

Whether you're a newbie or an old pro, you want to be sure your grand plan is about feeding your soul so you can be refreshed and inspired. Staying inspired is the best thing for your career, your artwork, and your psyche. Why? Because passion sells. People buy your joy.

As an art agent, I know that my busiest artists are the ones who are having the most fun. They know how to tap into that place.

I hope you'll have fun scribbling and jotting thoughts on the journal prompt pages and play sheets in this chapter. I've made them specifically to keep you inspired and remind you of the pleasure of creating. Get ready for some discovery!
