How Artists Can Outsource to 3x Their Revenue

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and secretly wondering why your art sales aren’t matching your effort, this episode is for you.

So many artists believe that doing everything themselves is the only way to succeed. That if they just work harder, stay up later, and push through, things will finally click.

But what if that belief is the very thing holding you back?

In this season-opening episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that changed my business and my sanity: support.

And no, this isn’t about becoming some giant corporate operation. It’s about recognizing when you’ve become the bottleneck in your own growth.

Doing It All Feels Productive, But Isn’t

Artists are creative by nature. We need space. Daydreaming space. Messy, unstructured time where ideas can actually breathe.

When every ounce of your energy goes into admin, tech, emails, and busy work, your creativity gets suffocated. And when your creativity suffers, your sales eventually follow.

I share exactly how I hit that wall, how I knew it was time, and why waiting to feel ready is complete nonsense.

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

• How to spot where you’ve become the bottleneck in your business 
• Why hiring even a few hours of help can be transformative
• The mindset shift that turns hiring from “expensive” to profitable
• How to decide who to hire first based on your real struggles

Until next time, y’all!
