Surviving & Succeeding as an Artist

 

Artist:  Def: - one skilled in learned arts such as music, painting, sculpture, dance etc

Over the years besides delivering  over forty thousand  hours of private and on line instruction, seminars, clinics and writing and selling  acclaimed  music educational books and videos,  I have observed and experienced myself one common problem that constantly rears its ugly head to aspiring and for that matter  even professional musicians and artists, namely money and specifically  a)  how do I support myself while practicing and mastering my instrument so I can be competitive in the marketplace which is extremely important to one's success and b)  having the available resources to produce,  market and promote ones  career also  very important to one's success as having a great ability and product that no one knows about is well a real  drag!

I have given countless business seminars regarding this that focus on three  key targets:

1. Discovering your passion, your calling and having the courage to pursue that dream, that urge, that gift.
2. Spending the time and energy to develop  and fine tune that ability which can take many years of dedication, practice, discipline and persistence.
3. Marketing and promoting this developed ability - THE DREAM - your urge to communicate and share the dream with others.
 
All of this said, lets get back to that one ruinous problem money or specifically the lack and pursuit of it as I think you would agree that if you  had a good steady supply of it either by  good fortune, inheritance, winning the lottery or simply a sideline activity that could produce lots of passive* income in a short amount of time that was fun to do, didn't distract you from  your artistic goals and didn't require   much maintenance, well. that would solve that problem very nicely and allow you, the creative artist, time to breathe and expand into your art, master it and promote and market it.  For that matter, it doesn't matter what you do for a living as if you solved  your money rudiment well....! You say yes for sure!!! Sounds to good to be true right!? 

As a side bar here:  This is what occurred  in  Baroque and Classical   music where Patrons of the Arts supported   talented composers and performers and look at the affluence that occurred  at that time in the music that is still being performed today.
 
Well I have just discovered the holy grail for making  money even in these stressful economic times and if  you fall into the category of having major problems  that money would solve, problems you have been desperately trying to solve but to no avail,  problems that you stress about most of the day and at night before you retire and thus  have a great need for the  type of money making activity mentioned above that would solve this once and for all,  then please contact me privately to set up a time to go over the details.
 
This is a real jewel that anybody can do as a side line activity and succeed at! My intention is as it has always been: to help expand the area of the arts through education, good example and advice and counsel.  I have successfully made my living entertaining, inspiring and helping others  for over 35 years which is all the reward and pleasure I need.
 
Altruistically,

"My dream is to travel across the U.S.A. and dance in a new place every night!"

Agh! That sounds so cool! If you ever do that (even a mini version), let us know. Meetup could be a great way for you to find dances to attend! =)

In the mean time, I spotted this Meetup Group in your area that might be perfect:

To offer a different perspective, I'm not sure that economics of transportation will ever drive us to become Locavores. Oil is but a sparse fraction of the cost of transport and distribution.
To me it is all about community and a healthy lifestyle. I would much prefer buying local even at higher cost because of the value to our community. And if we can get local volume over the threshold of economies of scale, then will be self sustaining. Unfortunately, Locavorism today is really on the fringe. In business terms, we need more market share - and then the economics will work too.

Houses are not very cheap and not every person can buy it. However, personal loans are created to help different people in such situations.
