  Episode 162: She Called Herself an Artist for the First Time ft. Sue White

  Aug 18, 202640 minS7

  Six years ago, Sue White picked up a paintbrush for the first time. Before that, she spent decades building a career in the furniture/design industry that came with a lot of perfectionism and people pleasing standing between her and calling herself an artist. But then everything changed. In this episode, Sue joins Jodie to talk about the exact moment that changed, an offhand comment in an airport that turned into the first time she said the words I'm an artist out loud. Not long after, she sold two large paintings in a single week. Jodie and Sue get into the self-talk every artist battles, the two non-negotiables that changed how Sue runs her art business, and what she is building next.

  Episode 161: Why Perfecting Your Art First Is Stalling Your Career

  Aug 11, 202621 minS7

  If you think you have to perfect your art before you let yourself think about the business side, Jodie has news for you: that belief is not protecting your work, it's stalling it. In this episode, Jodie breaks down her 85% rule, the mindset hack she uses every time perfectionism tries to keep her work off the easel and out of the world. Jodie shares the story of an artist whose technically flawless painting had nothing left in it because the energy and story got polished away, and the piece of her own early work that's so "cringeworthy" it lives in a closet, but sold anyway. She walks through why art, business, and mindset were never meant to be separate lanes you pick between, and why the artists who build real, sustainable careers work on all three at once. In this episode: Why waiting for "perfect" is usually just stalling dressed up as responsibility The real difference between technically skilled work and work with a story Jodie's 85% rule for getting your art out into the world Why art, business, and mindset have to move together, not in sequence Resources Mentioned The Artist Who Gets Paid, Jodie's 3-part workshop (August 20, 25, and 27): https://www.jodiekingart.com/artistseries Studio Elite Mastermind applications: https://www.jodiekingart.com/studioelite Episode 16: How to Get Out of the Fugly Stage of Art: https://jodieking.com/episode-16-how-to-get-out-of-the-fugly-stage-of-art/ Episode 31: Artist's Money Mindset: What Do You Really Believe Is Possible?: https://jodieking.com/episode-31-artists-money-mindset-what-do-you-really-believe-is-possible/ Episode 87: How Imposter Syndrome Is Holding You Back as an Artist: https://jodieking.com/episode-87-how-imposter-syndrome-is-holding-you-back-as-an-artist-what-to-do-about-it/ Episode 113: From Hobby to Career: How Artists Go Pro: https://jodieking.com/episode-113-from-hobby-to-career-how-artists-go-pro/ Episode 145: How Your Mindset Impacts Art Pricing: https://jodieking.com/episode-145-how-your-mindset-impacts-art-pricing-one-on-one-coaching-with-jennifer-cupp/ Have a question for Jodie?

  Jul 14, 202630 minS7
