22 Years As An Artist: What I’ll Never Do Again

Let’s get one thing straight … 

There is no overnight success in the art world. I don’t care what Instagram is telling you.

What looks like a “quick rise” or an “overnight success” is usually built on years of showing up, failing, learning, and doing it again.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on 22 years of being an artist and sharing the exact things I will NEVER do again. 

Because the truth is, it wasn’t a lack of talent that slowed me down. It was the habits, beliefs, and patterns I didn’t even realize were keeping me stuck.

Things that felt safe.

Things that felt “professional”.

Things that were actually just fear in disguise.

And if you’re not careful?

You’ll spend years doing the same damn thing.

Artist Mistakes to Avoid (That Are Holding You Back)

We’re talking about the sneaky stuff.

The stuff that doesn’t look like sabotage … but totally is.

Like waiting for permission instead of creating your own opportunities.

Or confusing perfection with professionalism … when really it’s just fear keeping your work hidden.

Or treating your art like a hobby while expecting career-level results.

We also get into:

Why you need community (and why going solo will burn you out)

How fear disguises itself as “bad timing”

Why comparison is killing your voice

And the one thing most artists forget … this is supposed to be FUN

Because if you lose the play?

You lose the whole damn point.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

• The biggest mistakes that delay success for artists
• How to stop waiting and start showing up
• Why mindset and consistency matter more than talent

Until next time, y’all!
