206: Investing in Yourself With Wildlife Artist Priya Gore and Miriam Schulman

"When you invest in yourself, the universe invests in you." -unknown Becoming wildly successful does not happen by chance or accident. Success isn't something most people just stumble into, but it is something many of us can make a reality. You have to be willing to put in the work it takes to achieve greatness, and it starts with investing in yourself. Today's guest, Priya Gore, comes from an engineering background and a family of doctors that wouldn't readily accept a career in art as a successful choice, and yet Priya is living life as a wildlife artist out of Australia. Key Highlights of a Successful 6-Figure Career in Art Priya invested in herself with the Artist Incubator Coaching Program 1st She is allowing herself to focus on a style and genre Being a niched artist allows you to build series that interests collectors Having an advertising budget creates higher revenue opportunities You have to focus on production 80% of the time to hit new levels of success Enjoying the process is a must for the ultimate experience "Having a niche, and really understanding what that is, and a focus style will make you more successful…" -Miriam Schulman In this episode, Priya unpacks in great detail how she's been able to generate a 6-figure income selling art to collectors through the Australian based company Blue Thumb. When you consider her advertising budget, how she's strategically increasing her individual art sales, growing her base of collectors and that she started with investing in a coaching program, her success as an artist looks less coincidental and more tactical in how she's approaching art as a business. When you invest in yourself, other people will get behind you. This is how Priya's advertising dollars with Blue Thumb are being maximized. "I don't think it's about easy or challenging, but it's just about that I enjoy the process." -Priya Gore Interested in applying for the Artist Incubator Program's Masterclass Track?
