Great post and beautiful work. I also have a creative side I like to express at times and although I have been encouraged at times to monetize it somewhat.... It's always hard for me putting a price on something that I created from a desire to simply create it. I go forward and glad to see you do as well!

Thank you so much! I think a lot of creative people struggle when they really love what they do. What I've found since starting my business is that it has motivated a lot of people I know to do the same, which is amazing! When you create a career out of passion, it inspires people to follow suit. Whatever your creative side is, if it's a product or service etc it may be something that people desire - people will only spend their money when they really want something & you are adding value to their life. They don't see it as you taking money away from them because they love it! :) Just think of anything that you have ever bought that you completely adored. That's the way I look at it now! So glad to hear it @clevecross , I would love to see your creative side too!
Amen to that. As artists, we don't sell "products." We provide something far more valuable. If they don't want to pay for our creations, that's okay. They are not meant to be our collectors. When someone loves what we do, price is not an issue. ;)
