What's the biggest money mistake keeping artists from building a sustainable career?
In this episode of The Professional Artist Podcast, sculptor and public artist Matt McConnell is featured by the Professional Artist Association (https://professionalartist.com/join), the world's fastest-growing global community for committed fine artists.
For more than 25 years, Matt has built a career creating large-scale public art while learning the financial systems required to sustain a creative business.
From budgeting complex commissions to pricing work with confidence, he's discovered that profitability starts long before a project begins.
In this episode, Matt explains why undercharging is only part of the problem, how understanding your true costs changes the way you price your work, and how saying no to the wrong projects can ultimately make your business more profitable.
" You have to decide that you are comfortable saying what something costs at risk of losing it”
