Art Money Success with Maria Brophy - Designing a life you love

In this episode I dramatically illustrate for you how giving up your artwork copyrights is literally giving up your future as a professional artist. I talk about how we've made a lot of money when not working, by licensing and selling reproductions of Drew Brophy's artworks, some that he created many many years ago. This practice is the KEY to long term success as a professional artist. If you enjoyed this, please leave me a REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE!

Chaos = A state of utter confusion. This is what I've been feeling lately! (After nearly 5 months of not working because my husband was in a coma and on a ventilator...) What should I focus on doing next, when I have so many things to do, so many I WANT to do, but there just isn't time for it all?! In this episode I'm talking with my longtime friend and former business life coach Tish Gentili. I always call Tish when my life is in shambles!  (And she always sets me straight.) I asked her to guide me and then I said, "why don't we make this a podcast?!" Topics discussed here today: How to reel in my utter confusion on what I should focus on! How to CHOOSE out of many things I want to do Outsourcing things that you can (except, don't outsource your crying!) Will Smith's hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars - how that ties into our messed up childhood and how we handle emotions Writing books - what stops us! Saying "this is so hard" and how it affects me What if I decide it's NOT hard Mindset shifts And sooooo much more! It's a long one. Hope you enjoy it! About my guest TISH GENTILI: Tish had coached me and my hubby Drew for over 12 months back in 2016 and it helped us break a huge financial barrier in our business. Her approach is scientific mixed with energetic principles; this works for me. :) To find Tish, here's her Linktree: https://linktr.ee/awakenedbadass For all my goodies, here's my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/mariabrophy Follow my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariabrophy/ My Podcast home page: https://www.brophyartacademy.com/podcasts/art-money-success-with-maria-brophy-designing-a-life-you-love Glad you came!

The worst thing that could have ever happened to me, happened. You haven't heard from me lately because for 112 days my beloved Drew was in the hospital, fighting to stay alive. For 70 of those days he was on a ventilator and most of those days in an induced coma. Finally, after 5 months of this, I am back to work, rebuilding my life.... This episode does not have any art business tips in it. It's just raw, real life sharing of what happened to me and my family. My next podcast will be about work again. Thanks for caring! Maria xoxo

What is that ONE THING you spend WAY too much money on?!  And are you even aware of it?For me - it's wine. The older I get, the more expensive my wine gets. :) And at some point I realized I was spending more on wine than some people do on a car payment!This is why you need to track your finances. I never used to track my money flow in and out. BUT dang, once you start, it changes EVERYTHING!What you track EXPANDS. And, tracking it keeps you from spending where you don't want to spend.You don't need to GIVE UP things that are important to you; just give up the things that aren't. But you need to NOTICE where the money is going so you can make those conscious choices.  AND: Investments vs. Expenses.

Confidence in pricing and When you Should RAISE prices Part 1! How do you gain confidence in pricing AND when should you raise your prices?  That's what we cover in this episode. For some artists, it's tough to know HOW MUCH to charge.  It's a challenge because art and money is so subjective.   I tell about one photographer who DECIDED to only take on jobs that were $10,000 or more.  He waited tables UNTIL he got that first $10K client.  He's wildly successful now.  But not everyone should do that....what you should do is decide what you want. I give tips on how to get your pricing confidence up AND when it's a good time to raise your prices. Going against what a lot of people will tell you to do, I suggest that some artists begin with lower prices so they can get momentum, and then raise prices after they start selling a few pieces.  This advice works for many things, not just art.  Healers and consultants and coaches who are new would do well to start lower as well, just to get clients and build up their confidence and skill level.

A good receiver earns more money $ than someone who cannot receive. I see this in the art business all the time. In this podcast I tell a story about how I paid 3 musicians for their performance and how 2 out of 3 didn't want to receive.  And how I analyzed this and came to the conclusion that some people do not feel worthy of what is given to them and how that holds back their abundance. I also share about the time I was offered a gift of $10,000 from a friend, how I responded and why regret it now. I'll share what a good receiver is and 4 ways that you can become one.
