Turning Your Talent Into a Business

  Your talent can be your greatest asset, and learning to market it can be your greatest achievement!

You Have the Talent, So Where Is the Money? is a fun and easy-to-apply guidebook for creating an exciting lifestyle that is as financially rewarding to the bank account, as it is emotionally rewarding to the creative spirit that lives within us.

In this book I cover topics they don't teach in art school.   One of the things they don't teach is how to earn a living as an artist.    Spoiler Alert:  We don't get paid for having talent.   We only get paid when we provide a product or service with our talents. 

I discuss a variety of things that art can be used for, such as advertising and illustration, decoration or therapy, and many other things from t-shirts and greeting cards to tattoos and art galleries.

When your artwork serves a purpose in someone's life, it becomes more valuable than just being something to look at.

You Have the Talent, So Where Is the Money? is available on Amazon https://amzn.to/3eB1VYb  and from Barnes & Noble https://bit.ly/3sQVN36   in e-book, paperback and hardcover.

The Artist's Book of Wisdom is a three part collection of workable ideas, that begin with how to start a business that is based on art, whether it's an artistic product or a creative service.  

Part two consists of general success principles and how they apply to the everyday suvival of a creative life.

Part three is directed at the creative spirit that urges us to express ourselves and makes us want to contribute to life in our own unique way that.   Ultimately, this book is about honoring that creative spirit within us.

Apple trees produce apples, but they have no use for their own products.  However, if they stop producing their fruit, the tree wil die because there is no reason for the nourishment of the soil to go up the trunk and past the leaves if there is no fruit at the end of the branches.  The tree produces fruit to keep itself aive!

Creative people are the same way.  "Use it or lose it" is the name of the game, but the good news is that the more we use our talents, the more talents we will have.  Nothing in the physical world works that way.  Physical things wear out with use but imagination and talent grow stronger.

Investing in your talent is the best investment you can make!
