019: Do What Matters Most with Cailen Ascher

with host artist Miriam Schulman

Today, I’ve invited a guest expert in how to design your ideal week whether that means making more time for art or your family. Cailen Ascher discovered that she could get more done in less time after the reality of childcare limited her work hours to just three days a week. She discovered that not only could she get more done but she had the most profitable year in her business when she wasn’t overworked and exhausted.

My audience is ALWAYS asking me how to find more time for their art… or another variation, how to find time to do it ALL. 
Now, we’ve recently had on Mike Michalowicz whose new book Clockwork, how to design your business to run itself as well as Alex Pang, whose research actually proves that you DO get more done by working less, so Cailen’s message fits in perfectly with all that we’ve been talking about. I can’t wait to dive in and give my audience some actionable steps that they can start taking today!

  • How to structure your days and your week

About the host, Miriam Schulman

In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.

A graduate of Dartmouth College and M.I.T, I initially pursued finance but after witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and my story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. My forthcoming book with HarperCollins Leadership on how to make it as an artist is scheduled to be released January 31, 2023. When I’m not in the studio, you can find me hanging out with my husband, adult kids, and a tuxedo cat named Ebony.

Listener shout out of the week!

“I love all your podcasts. [Episode 16] reminded me to get back to journaling. My life has been a crazy rollercoaster ride for the past few months with little or no time to create or let go. I have not been journaling at all either. After listening to today’s podcast, I am reminded how much journaling has helped me for years. Thank you so much Miriam for all the hard work and dedication you put into these podcasts every week. Each episode is priceless.”
