Most artists didn't design their art business — they drifted into it. In this solo episode, Art Biz host Alyson Stanfield invites you to slow down long enough to ask a question most artists never take time to ask: if you were starting fresh today, would you build it this way?
In this episode, Alyson covers:
- Why most artists are running a business they drifted into rather than designed — and why that matters
- What a business model actually is (and why you already have one whether you designed it or not)
- The difference between examining your business and evaluating it, and why the order matters
- The foundational question she asks every new private client before anything else
- The six areas to examine when you're ready to take honest stock of what you've built
