Today, I owe a special thanks to former podcast guest and author Michael Schein. He’s the one who introduced me to today’s guest. And a great guest (and author) it is!

Her name is Miriam Schulman, and she’s written a new book called Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity.

Whether you’re a musician, photographer, painter, writer, dancer, singer, or any other creative with aspirations of making a living from your art, this is the perfect time to turn your creative ideas into a sustainable business. With gatekeepers no longer controlling the market, Miriam says, anyone with a laptop and a dram can make a thriving living from their creativity.

Miriam, who hosts the Inspiration Place podcast, breaks down the five core elements in the “Passion to Profit” planning framework to help you develop your art business—so that you can have the time and freedom to do what you love.

After twenty years of selling art as well as coaching other artists, she knows that now is the time to leave the rat race behind and pursue your highest dreams. It’s time to gamble on yourself.

In today’s episode, I ask Miriam about:

• How changing even just one limiting belief can unlock all kinds of success
• Her Passion-to-Profit Framework outlined in the book
• Why making “too much money” at your current job shouldn’t be a hindrance to making a full-time living from your art
• And lots more!
