As an entrepreneur, you get to do something yourself and have it come together. That’s the best compliment anyone can give—to be enjoying yourself in our space.

Finding the right niche for yourself is probably the most important factor in making a living at your craft. You have to find a style that not only keeps you happy as an artist, but keeps you happy as a business-person, as well. Once you’ve found something that you love to create and other people love to buy, you can really make things happen.
