You just hit all the right chords Adam. I believe that if we don't monetize our work or don't work towards it.. then we gotto work on stuff we don't enjoy to keep us alive and pay our bills. And if we are paid for what we love then we don't have to do stuff we don't enjoy as much. Just my point of view.

This is so helpful! So often I hear the opposite, why does someone need to monetize their side hustle or seek to make money creating? It’s almost a shame trigger for those who have audacity to consider pursuing investment in self for a creative career. Grateful for your practical advice here!

I love this advice because the common feedback I hear from so many artists is that they want to quit their job to make art full-time. This is so difficult, but achievable. Creating a business entity is important, because it makes you official and allows you to expense consumables and equipment. Nonetheless, it shows that you are serious about your craft that you have a business and ready to get to work immediately. Good stuff, Adam!
