with host artist Miriam Schulman
If you’ve been telling yourself that you just need more time before you can finally grow your art business, I want to challenge that belief. I built my own business while raising young children with only tiny pockets of time to work, and what I learned is this: success doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from focusing on the right things. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the biggest time wasters keeping artists stuck in overwhelm, procrastination, and fake productivity. I’m also sharing the exact strategies that helped me build relationships, make sales, and grow a sustainable art business without spending all day on social media. If you’re tired of feeling busy but not seeing results, this conversation will help you rethink how you spend your energy and finally start moving forward.
“Researching might make you feel like you’re doing something, but learning without acting doesn’t help you.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Learn why managing your energy matters more than trying to find more time
- Create a more focused strategy for building relationships with collectors
- Discover how in person opportunities and partnerships can grow your art business faster
“You don’t need more time, but you do need a better strategy.” – Miriam Schulman

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. 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.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living From Your Creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.
