Episode 113: From Hobby to Career: How Artists Go Pro

Waiting for the moment when you can turn your art hobby into an art career? This episode of the Honest Art Podcast is all about how to know when it's time, and what to do once you make that leap. You'll find that becoming a pro is less about waiting for a permission slip and more about showing up consistently, embracing discomfort, standing in your values, and ultimately…acting like a pro before you even feel like one!
